The red comes from 丁, a candle. Small flame, long night — you're the one who keeps it lit. The sheep (未): kind and artistic — you make life softer for others. Aries is the sign of beginnings: you move first, and waiting wears you out.

When the Red Sheep fights

When you fightYou keep the hurt warm inside for a long time.Quiet outside, but the hurt stays on as a low heat.

How you're misreadPeople think you don't mind.You mind more than anyone — that's why you can't say it.

Your strength in a conflictYou devote yourself.Once you give your heart, you care for that person warmly to the end.

What Aries addsYou blow up fast, and forget fast.Aries fire makes you react fast. One breath before the first word.

One small stepDon't keep it warming inside — say it while it's still warm.
