The black comes from 癸, rain. Soft as rain, and just as hard to stop. The snake (巳): deep and quiet — you think three moves ahead. Sagittarius is fire: you look far ahead and long for open roads.

When the Black Snake fights

When you fightCalm outside, a whirlpool within.Your face is still, but inside you're weighing dozens of outcomes.

How you're misreadPeople think you don't care.You care so much that nothing comes out.

Your strength in a conflictYou see what's coming.You see where the fight is heading and find a way around it.

What Sagittarius addsYour honesty flies like an arrow.Sagittarius fire makes you blunter. Blunt the arrowhead once.

One small stepSay one of your inner calculations out loud.
