The golden comes from 己, a garden. You make things grow quietly — plants, people, plans. The rooster (酉): precise and honest — sometimes too honest. Cancer is water: your strength goes into guarding your people and your place.

When the Golden Rooster fights

When you fightYou go through it point by point.Like weeding a field, you pick out what went wrong, one by one.

How you're misreadPeople say you nag.It isn't nagging. You don't want to fight about the same thing again.

Your strength in a conflictYou tidy up after.When the fight is over, you quietly sort out what's left.

What Cancer addsYou go into your shell.Cancer water makes your heart bruise more easily. Before you hide: "I'm hurt."

One small stepOut of ten points, say three.
