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. Taurus is earth: slow to start, impossible to stop once you've decided.

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 Taurus addsOnce decided, you don't move.Taurus earth makes you hold firmer. Agree on a time to let it go.

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