The black comes from 癸, rain. Soft as rain, and just as hard to stop. The ox (丑): steady and patient — you finish what others drop. Sagittarius is fire: you look far ahead and long for open roads.
When the Black Ox fights
When you fightYou go cold and quiet.Like frozen ground, when you're angry the words freeze.
How you're misreadPeople call you cold.Even while frozen, you're still thinking inside.
Your strength in a conflictYou bear it for them.You stay through hard times longer than anyone.
What Sagittarius addsYour honesty flies like an arrow.Sagittarius fire makes you blunter. Blunt the arrowhead once.
One small stepBefore you freeze: "I can't find the words right now."
