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. Sagittarius is fire: you look far ahead and long for open roads.

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 Sagittarius addsYour honesty flies like an arrow.Sagittarius fire makes you blunter. Blunt the arrowhead once.

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