The red comes from 丙, the sun. When you walk in, the room gets warmer. The rat (子): quick and alert — you always find a way through. Pisces is water: you feel what others feel, and drift between dream and real.

When the Red Rat fights

When you fightBright outside, busy inside.You smile so the mood doesn't break, but your mind is already worrying in ten directions.

How you're misreadPeople think nothing's wrong.The bright face is kindness. It doesn't mean you're fine.

Your strength in a conflictYou bring the warmth back.You make a frozen room warm again.

What Pisces addsYou carry their feelings as well as yours.Pisces water floods you with empathy. Look after your own heart first.

One small stepBefore you laugh it off, name your real feeling in one word.
