The silver comes from 庚, raw iron. Hard on the outside, forged by everything you went through. The horse (午): free and fast — you need to keep moving. Cancer is water: your strength goes into guarding your people and your place.

When the Silver Horse fights

When you fightYou say it straight and move on.You can't stand things hanging. If there's something to say, it ends right there.

How you're misreadPeople say your words are too strong.You just don't spend time softening them. It isn't anger at the person.

Your strength in a conflictYou make the call.You put a full stop on arguments that go round in circles.

What Cancer addsYou go into your shell.Cancer water makes your heart bruise more easily. Before you hide: "I'm hurt."

One small stepBefore you say it, soften just one sentence.
