Feng Shui Wood

You are a Wood personality. Wood character traits include good decision-making skills, idealism, imagination, compassion and the ability to create change. You often take bold actions and initiate new projects. You can be focused, active and driven.

Common wood emotions are kindness, tension, criticism of self and others, discouragement, regret and repressed anger related to thwarted affection.

In Feng Shui, the feelings of growth and expansion that come from a room full of lush plants and fresh flowers is very good for you. It is lucky to add plants and flowers to your home and office decor.

Ways to Succeed

Your challenge is to learn to transform anger into kindness, while channeling it into positive work that benefits others. You will succeed by being a leader and expressing your idealism.
