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. Taurus is earth: slow to start, impossible to stop once you've decided.

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 Taurus addsOnce decided, you don't move.Taurus earth makes you hold firmer. Agree on a time to let it go.

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