WOOD 🌲 element is spring, when the world wakes from winter’s slumber and is reborn. Thus, Wood is the season of rebirth and new growth. The energy rises up and out of the ground with strong, creative force, exemplified in the green sprouts of grass that shoot up from the ground.

Green is the color of Wood. The odor associated with it is rancid, the sound is a shout and the associated emotion is anger. The organs and officials associated with Wood are the Liver and the Gallbladder. The Liver oversees our planning and execution capabilities, while the Gallbladder is in charge of decision-making.

When the energy of our Wood element is flowing, we are capable of vision and creativity. We are able to make plans and execute them with determination and efficiency. Our sense of purpose in the moment and in life is clear. There is also flexibility to this energetic action, the same flexibility that allows the trees to bend in the wind without falling, the grass to sway without breaking. We move forward without hindrance, able to see obstacles and react accordingly.

When our Wood element is out of balance, though, our vision becomes clouded. We may procrastinate in the ensuing frustration of not being able to move forward or see the future. Alternately, we may push too hard, or become rigid and inflexible in our pursuits. This can lead to a sense of hopelessness of ever achieving our goals. It may make us stubborn or irrational. And our anger grows out of proportion and is no longer productive in achieving momentum.

Anger is an important force. It can be helpful in our pursuits, but it can also stymy those pursuits it if becomes excessive. Properly acknowledging and channeling our anger can help us remain focused and flexible. We can balance the anger with forgiveness and understanding, thus aspiring to a state of benevolence. True leaders know when to bend because they do not fear being broken. They can adapt their plans as needed and still achieve their vision without ruling from a place of insecurity or desire for power. Acting for the good of others, without thought of benefit to the self, becomes the ultimate goal 🌲
