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. Virgo is earth: you notice the small things and quietly make them better.

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 Virgo addsYou point out what's wrong, item by item.Virgo earth makes you more exacting. One thank-you for every fix.

One small stepBefore the flaw, one thing that shines.
