The blue comes from 甲, a tall tree. You grow straight up, even when no one is watching. The monkey (申): clever and adaptable — you can fix almost anything. Capricorn is earth: once you set a goal, you climb it one step at a time.

When the Blue Monkey fights

When you fightYou defend fast when cornered.Under pressure, reasons and explanations come out quickly.

How you're misreadPeople say you always have an excuse.You want to explain, not escape.

Your strength in a conflictYou read the situation fast.You're the first to see where the argument got tangled.

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.
