The blue comes from 甲, a tall tree. You grow straight up, even when no one is watching. The dog (戌): loyal and protective — your people are safe with you. Gemini is air: curious and quick, you open doors with words.

When the Blue Dog fights

When you fightYou can't let wrong things pass.You get angrier when someone else is treated unfairly than when you are.

How you're misreadPeople say you're rigid.You believe keeping principles is how you keep people safe.

Your strength in a conflictYou take their side.Even in a fight, you stand up for whoever is weaker.

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 stepBefore right and wrong: "How did that feel for you?"
