The silver comes from 庚, raw iron. Hard on the outside, forged by everything you went through. The dog (戌): loyal and protective — your people are safe with you. Capricorn is earth: once you set a goal, you climb it one step at a time.

When the Silver Dog fights

When you fightYou hold on with a sense of justice.If you believe you're right, you won't step back.

How you're misreadPeople say you're too strong.You believe you have to stand firm to protect anyone.

Your strength in a conflictYou protect to the end.In hard moments, you're the strongest shield there is.

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 stepNot what you want to win — say what you want to protect.
