The blue comes from 甲, a tall tree. You grow straight up, even when no one is watching. The rat (子): quick and alert — you always find a way through. Pisces is water: you feel what others feel, and drift between dream and real.

When the Blue Rat fights

When you fightYou save your words, then say it all at once.You weren't holding back — you were sorting it out. When you're done, the reasons come out too.

How you're misreadPeople call you stubborn.It's a conclusion you thought about for a long time. That's why it's hard to change.

Your strength in a conflictYou see far ahead.You can think about the two of you in ten years, not just about winning today.

What Pisces addsYou carry their feelings as well as yours.Pisces water floods you with empathy. Look after your own heart first.

One small stepEven before you've sorted it out, say "I'm still thinking."
