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

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 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 bowing, hold out your hand first.
