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. Sagittarius is fire: you look far ahead and long for open roads.

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 Sagittarius addsYour honesty flies like an arrow.Sagittarius fire makes you blunter. Blunt the arrowhead once.

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