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. Capricorn is earth: once you set a goal, you climb it one step at a time.

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 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.

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