The black comes from 壬, the ocean. Big mind, restless current — you need room to move. The horse (午): free and fast — you need to keep moving. Virgo is earth: you notice the small things and quietly make them better.

When the Black Horse fights

When you fightHot, then cold.Water and fire live in you together, so anger turns into something else quickly.

How you're misreadPeople say they can't keep up with you.It isn't fickleness. Both feelings are real.

Your strength in a conflictYou know how to start again.You don't stay stuck in yesterday's fight. You open today fresh.

What Virgo addsYou point out what's wrong, item by item.Virgo earth makes you more exacting. One thank-you for every fix.

One small stepWhen your mind changes, say so: "I feel differently now."
