The red comes from 丁, a candle. Small flame, long night — you're the one who keeps it lit. The rooster (酉): precise and honest — sometimes too honest. Gemini is air: curious and quick, you open doors with words.

When the Red Rooster fights

When you fightUnder your light, every flaw shows.Your eye is bright, so even small mistakes look big.

How you're misreadPeople say you're prickly.Your wish for things to be better comes out sharp.

Your strength in a conflictYou make it better.You turn the fight into "how do we make this better?"

What Gemini addsYou talk your way around it.Gemini air speeds up your words. Not the winning word — the one that reaches them.

One small stepBefore the flaw, one thing that shines.
