The red comes from 丁, a candle. Small flame, long night — you're the one who keeps it lit. The snake (巳): deep and quiet — you think three moves ahead. Aries is the sign of beginnings: you move first, and waiting wears you out.

When the Red Snake fights

When you fightThe fire inside doesn't go out.Quiet outside, but once a feeling catches, it burns for a long time.

How you're misreadPeople say you're possessive.Not possessive — you gave your heart that deeply.

Your strength in a conflictYou focus on one person.When you decide, you look only at them and guard the bond.

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

One small stepOnce a day, bring the fire inside out into words.
