The black comes from 壬, the ocean. Big mind, restless current — you need room to move. The monkey (申): clever and adaptable — you can fix almost anything. Capricorn is earth: once you set a goal, you climb it one step at a time.
When the Black Monkey fights
When you fightYou talk your way out.Your mind is quick. When it turns against you, you change the subject or make a joke.
How you're misreadPeople say you're never serious.Heavy air is hard for you. It doesn't mean you take it lightly.
Your strength in a conflictYou find the way out.You think about how to fix it before who's to blame.
What Capricorn addsYou fold up the feeling and treat it like a task.Capricorn earth puts feelings on hold. One line of feeling before the fix.
One small stepBefore the joke, listen seriously for three minutes.
