The red comes from 丙, the sun. When you walk in, the room gets warmer. The monkey (申): clever and adaptable — you can fix almost anything. Aries is the sign of beginnings: you move first, and waiting wears you out.

When the Red Monkey fights

When you fightYou win by persuading.With wit and words, you bring them round to your side before they notice.

How you're misreadPeople say you're all talk.You're trying to lift the mood, not trick anyone.

Your strength in a conflictYou laugh it loose.You melt a stiff silence with one joke.

What Aries addsYou blow up fast, and forget fast.Aries fire makes you react fast. One breath before the first word.

One small stepBefore you persuade, repeat back what they said.
