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. Gemini is air: curious and quick, you open doors with words.

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 Gemini addsYou talk your way around it.Gemini air speeds up your words. Not the winning word — the one that reaches them.

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