Spring, is the time of the Wood element. Everything is bursting forth, budding, growing and expanding rapidly. We feel it within ourselves. There is a pulse of new energy and expansion growing within. It is the time of transformation, creativity, change and renewal. With more daylight, we have the perception of more time; which we fill with new projects and plans.
The Wood element is about new beginnings, rebirth, creativity, vision and leadership. The officials of the Spring and the Wood element are the Liver(yin): responsible for planning, and the Gallbladder(yang): responsible for decision making and judgement. These are the visionaries. With patience we draw upon our past experiences as fuel for our new plans and future.
When we tap into our best Wood energy, we are able to see the big picture. This increases our confidence and heightens our control to transform vision into reality. To do this effectively we must be able to discern and strategize. Creativity, planning and organizing are at their peak.
There is a lot of vitality and momentum during this season. Without a plan we can become frustrated and angry. However, a healthy Wood energy will transform that frustration into action using flexibility and optimism.
When you see the big picture and start to create a vision, remember to be flexible, adaptable and up for the challenge.
