The red comes from 丙, the sun. When you walk in, the room gets warmer. The dog (戌): loyal and protective — your people are safe with you. Capricorn is earth: once you set a goal, you climb it one step at a time.

When the Red Dog fights

When you fightYou hold it for ages, then it all bursts.While you're giving, you say nothing — until it isn't noticed.

How you're misreadPeople say you explode out of nowhere.It's not out of nowhere. It's the end of a long time trying alone.

Your strength in a conflictYou protect with loyalty.Even after a fight, you're still on their side.

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 stepWhile the hurt is small, say it right away.
