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. Taurus is earth: slow to start, impossible to stop once you've decided.

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 Taurus addsOnce decided, you don't move.Taurus earth makes you hold firmer. Agree on a time to let it go.

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