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. Libra is air: you weigh things up and think about the people around you first.

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 Libra addsYou'd rather avoid the fight altogether.Libra air makes you quick to please. Choose honesty over peace, once.

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