The silver comes from 庚, raw iron. Hard on the outside, forged by everything you went through. The monkey (申): clever and adaptable — you can fix almost anything. Virgo is earth: you notice the small things and quietly make them better.

When the Silver Monkey fights

When you fightYou don't stop until you win.Like metal on metal, a fight feels like a match.

How you're misreadPeople say you can't stand losing.It's not losing you hate. It's leaving things unfinished.

Your strength in a conflictYou end it clearly.You don't drag a fight out; you reach a conclusion.

What Virgo addsYou point out what's wrong, item by item.Virgo earth makes you more exacting. One thank-you for every fix.

One small stepBefore winning, say a draw can be an answer too.
