Behavioral Actions
When action is demanded, our Wood kicks into gear and, like spring, gives birth again and again to new life.
But we may have a tendency to interpret any circumstance as requiring bold and immediate action.
We should strive instead to regulate our intensity while remaining open and flexible, and be able to retreat when necessary

When the difficulties of our lives threaten to turn our world upside down, Earth can set things straight. Like Indian Summer, Earth represents a time of peace and plenty, free from the cycle of birth and death. It is a quiet connection with order and harmony.
But beware the tendency to be overly concerned with peace and harmony so that the dynamic tension
necessary to move forward is negate.
Find time to be alone in order to know and express one’s own thoughts and feelings, developing self-esteem and self-reliance.

energy. We insure continuing substance and strength.

hindrance.

Water/ Career
When it is necessary to stop and rest, review what we have done and begin again, it is water that
refreshes us. Matter and energy, like winter itself, lie still, conserving energy and waiting to begin
anew. Yet, we know that the mystery of tomorrow will happen suddenly-with a blink of an eye.
Beware the tendency to over-deliberate, losing the opportunity to take action or fulfill a dream.
Strive to soften one's tough disposition and open to intimacy, tenderness and warmth.

WATER
The essence of water remains the same as it molds itself to any shape container.
Like water, a person who lives by his
true nature is not affected by what other think of him.
Knowing oneself, one can be soft and yielding, yet overcome all obstacles, large and small.
