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. Capricorn is earth: once you set a goal, you climb it one step at a time.

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 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 you persuade, repeat back what they said.
