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. Virgo is earth: you notice the small things and quietly make them better.

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

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