The blue comes from 甲, a tall tree. You grow straight up, even when no one is watching. The horse (午): free and fast — you need to keep moving. Capricorn is earth: once you set a goal, you climb it one step at a time.

When the Blue Horse fights

When you fightYou say everything that's in your heart.Like wood feeding fire, the more you talk, the bigger the feeling gets.

How you're misreadPeople say you talk too much.You're someone who sorts things out by saying them.

Your strength in a conflictYou lay it all out honestly.You hide nothing, so misunderstandings never pile up for long.

What Capricorn addsYou fold up the feeling and treat it like a task.Capricorn earth puts feelings on hold. One line of feeling before the fix.

One small stepWhen it gets long, end with "The point is this."

甲午갑오
