Jia Wood (甲) — Yang Wood Day Master — meaning and personality | Day Master

What this energy is

Jia is the first push of growth. Once the direction is set it does not look sideways — it goes up. Strong at starting things and at holding a principle; slower at learning how to bend.

Strengths

Takes the lead and opens the ground
Clear principles, so trust comes quickly
Sees the whole shape before the details

Shadows

Slow to change direction once committed
Pride can arrive before practicality
Hands the small branches to someone else

We do not only say the pleasant things. Knowing the weak side first is what makes it manageable.
