The black comes from 癸, rain. Soft as rain, and just as hard to stop. The rooster (酉): precise and honest — sometimes too honest. Virgo is earth: you notice the small things and quietly make them better.

When the Black Rooster fights

When you fightYou point it out precisely.You can see exactly what went wrong, so you can't let it go.

How you're misreadPeople say all you do is criticise.You say it because you want things to go well. The praise stays in your head.

Your strength in a conflictYou clean it up.You untangle the argument one thread at a time, so the same fight doesn't come back.

What Virgo addsYou point out what's wrong, item by item.Virgo earth makes you more exacting. One thank-you for every fix.

One small stepBefore one criticism, one thank-you.
