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. Gemini is air: curious and quick, you open doors with words.

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 Gemini addsYou talk your way around it.Gemini air speeds up your words. Not the winning word — the one that reaches them.

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