The black comes from 癸, rain. Soft as rain, and just as hard to stop. The sheep (未): kind and artistic — you make life softer for others. Gemini is air: curious and quick, you open doors with words.

When the Black Sheep fights

When you fightWorry spills over first.More than the fight, "what happens to us now?" frightens you.

How you're misreadPeople say you're too sensitive.It's not sensitivity. It's how much you care about the bond.

Your strength in a conflictYou water dry ground.You pour gentle words onto a dry argument.

What Gemini addsYou talk your way around it.Gemini air speeds up your words. Not the winning word — the one that reaches them.

One small stepWhen worry grows, ask: "Are we okay?"
