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. Taurus is earth: slow to start, impossible to stop once you've decided.

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 Taurus addsOnce decided, you don't move.Taurus earth makes you hold firmer. Agree on a time to let it go.
