The blue comes from 乙, a climbing flower. You bend, you don't break — and you find the light anyway. The rooster (酉): precise and honest — sometimes too honest. Cancer is water: your strength goes into guarding your people and your place.

When the Blue Rooster fights

When you fightDelicate — with a sharp tongue.The moment you're hurt, the thorn comes out of the petals.

How you're misreadPeople say your words are harsh.You only stung back as much as you were stung. You were hurt first.

Your strength in a conflictYou notice the small things.You don't miss a small change or a small hurt.

What Cancer addsYou go into your shell.Cancer water makes your heart bruise more easily. Before you hide: "I'm hurt."

One small stepInstead of a thorny word: "That hurt me."
