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. Capricorn is earth: once you set a goal, you climb it one step at a time.

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