The golden comes from 己, a garden. You make things grow quietly — plants, people, plans. The snake (巳): deep and quiet — you think three moves ahead. Capricorn is earth: once you set a goal, you climb it one step at a time.

When the Golden Snake fights

When you fightYou smile, and do the maths inside.Before pushing back, you work out how to say it so it hurts less.

How you're misreadPeople say they can't read you.You're not hiding. It just isn't time to say it yet.

Your strength in a conflictYou choose your words.One word from you could cut — and one word from you can stitch it closed.

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 stepBefore the maths is done, say "I'm upset right now."
