The silver comes from 庚, raw iron. Hard on the outside, forged by everything you went through. The tiger (寅): brave — you're the one who starts things. Cancer is water: your strength goes into guarding your people and your place.

When the Silver Tiger fights

When you fightYou meet it head-on.You can't go around it. If there's a problem, the blade comes out.

How you're misreadPeople say you're aggressive.You don't want to fight. You want it over.

Your strength in a conflictYou clear it clean.After a clash, you shake it off with no grudge.

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

One small stepBefore the blade comes out, count to ten.
