The red comes from 丙, the sun. When you walk in, the room gets warmer. The tiger (寅): brave — you're the one who starts things. Capricorn is earth: once you set a goal, you climb it one step at a time.

When the Red Tiger fights

When you fightYou flare up fast and cool down fast.The flame is big, but there's no grudge. The next day you've already forgotten.

How you're misreadPeople say you're scary.Your voice gets loud. You never mean to hurt anyone.

Your strength in a conflictYou reach out first.The bond matters more than your pride. You know how to say the first word of peace.

What Capricorn addsYou fold up the feeling and treat it like a task.Capricorn earth puts feelings on hold. One line of feeling before the fix.

One small stepWhen your voice starts to rise, take one breath first.
