The blue comes from 甲, a tall tree. You grow straight up, even when no one is watching. The tiger (寅): brave — you're the one who starts things. Aries is the sign of beginnings: you move first, and waiting wears you out.

When the Blue Tiger fights

When you fightYou don't bow your head.Like two straight trees, bending is the hardest thing.

How you're misreadPeople say you're proud.It isn't pride. You want to stand on your own.

Your strength in a conflictYou face it honestly.You don't talk around things, so fights don't stay tangled.

What Aries addsYou blow up fast, and forget fast.Aries fire makes you react fast. One breath before the first word.

One small stepInstead of bowing, hold out your hand first.
