Wood element
Wood (木), the element of growth and expansion, of spring and the rising east. It moves upward and outward like a tree reaching for light: vital, ambitious, idealistic, and generous, always planning and pressing toward what's next. Its virtue is benevolence (仁); out of balance it turns rigid or overreaching.
