木 Mù - Wood

木

Wood

Wood expresses emotions and benevolence

With faith at its core it strives for an agreeable paradise

As an artist longs for beautiful design

Creativity grows, friendships are born, and quality time is spent

It is about beginnings, starting things, and experiential growth

It fears being repressed by others

Its season is spring, its time is sunrise, and its age is youth

Its moral foundations are in in-group loyalty

Rage and bewilderment can taint its goodness

If plants want to be beautiful, they need pruning

It is much like a young girl

Survival is the first need

One seeks for adventure

It is felt through anger, kindness, and sight; seen in pastels and formed as Icosahedron

Its stern personality is self-willed, adamant, endowing, forthright and expansive

Its soft personality is expressive, delicate, analytical, collaborative and acquisitive

An artist earns by distributing, inspires display, is strengthened by collection and is controlled by value.

As it learns, it moves upward

On the hand it would be the pinky finger. Externally starting small like a newborn, the next will grow

In TCM it has to do with the liver and nervous system, and is associated with what is sour

In feng shui it is associated with the colours green through blue, and tall, cylindrical shapes

Its odd number is 3 and its even number is 4
