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. Pisces is water: you feel what others feel, and drift between dream and real.

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 Pisces addsYou carry their feelings as well as yours.Pisces water floods you with empathy. Look after your own heart first.

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