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. Taurus is earth: slow to start, impossible to stop once you've decided.

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 Taurus addsOnce decided, you don't move.Taurus earth makes you hold firmer. Agree on a time to let it go.

One small stepBefore the flaw, one thing that shines.
