Fire Dog
The Dog is the moral compass of the cycle - fiercely loyal, and instinctively protective of the people and causes it commits to. Trust, once earned, is not given lightly to begin with, but once secured, it runs deep.
Fire brings passion, visibility, and momentum - it wants to act now, and it wants to be seen acting. Paired with the Dog's natural principled character, this produces someone who is protective but rarely passive about it.
Their strength is integrity - a consistency between what the Dog believes and what it does. With Fire's influence, that tendency is expressed in a distinctly intense way.
Where to watch: The caution is worry: a tendency toward suspicion or anxious over-preparation. In excess, Fire can burn hot and fast, risking impulsiveness or early burnout.
