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. Virgo is earth: you notice the small things and quietly make them better.

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 Virgo addsYou point out what's wrong, item by item.Virgo earth makes you more exacting. One thank-you for every fix.

One small stepBefore explaining: "Yes — I'm sorry about that part."
