Yin Wood

Character

To figure out the Yin Wood character it’s best to imagine grass or long creeping plants like ivy. They are soft, graceful and tidy.

As persons, Yin Woods are calm, well-mannered and soft spoken charmers. They are very articulate in speech because of their quick wit and sharp mind.

Ironically, this rather small and fragile element can survive the heaviest pressures in life – more than any other – and it will always spring back to life. It is very resilient, as grass or ivy – or even as the most stubborn weeds; it just keeps growing back no matter what you do.

When facing a problem they have the ability to see it through different angles, but often do not consider the details, so their approach might lack depth and can work mostly just as a short term improvisation.

Yin Wood people can be rather greedy for money and material lifestyle. They have fragile emotions and can easily get angry and be swayed this way and that by current conditions, like a plant which gets easily disturbed by bad weather conditions.

They can be quite insecure, especially when making decisions, so therefore they are only able to make short term decisions – whilst with long term decisions they often make lots of wrong judgments.

They are very good in networking and they rely a lot on other people’s opinions, which they use to boost their confidence. Their minds can wander off quite often so they need friends to keep them grounded and their sense of worth very much relies on what people around think about them.

Like most plants who need constant watering, changing the soil and good light, Yin Wood needs lots of attention from other people, and if they lack attention they get easily depressed and they can lose confidence.
