The black comes from 癸, rain. Soft as rain, and just as hard to stop. The pig (亥): warm and generous — your door is always open. Sagittarius is fire: you look far ahead and long for open roads.

When the Black Pig fights

When you fightYou drift away like water.Instead of clashing, you flow off — and there's nothing to hold on to.

How you're misreadPeople think your heart has left.It hasn't left. It's just gone under the water for a moment.

Your strength in a conflictYou feel it with them.You feel even the sadness they didn't say, and cry with them.

What Sagittarius addsYour honesty flies like an arrow.Sagittarius fire makes you blunter. Blunt the arrowhead once.

One small stepBefore you drift: "I'm having a hard time."
