The black comes from 癸, rain. Soft as rain, and just as hard to stop. The rabbit (卯): gentle and perceptive — you read a room in a second. Cancer is water: your strength goes into guarding your people and your place.

When the Black Rabbit fights

When you fightYou get hurt in your imagination first.You picture things they never said, and hurt alone.

How you're misreadPeople say you're writing a novel in your head.Your heart is rich, so small signals ring loud.

Your strength in a conflictYou hold them warmly.You feel their pain more deeply than anyone.

What Cancer addsYou go into your shell.Cancer water makes your heart bruise more easily. Before you hide: "I'm hurt."

One small stepCheck what you imagined: "Did you mean this?"
