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

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

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