Wood 木

In the Chinese Five Elements, Wood (木) represents growth and upward reach — the drive to expand, plan, and push toward a goal. Along with Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water, it is one of the five qualities the BaZi (Four Pillars) system uses to read the balance of a birth chart.

Your Day Master is the element at the center of your chart. When Wood is your Day Master, this growth and upward reach quality colors how you think, move, and respond — and the other four elements around it show what supports you and what is scarce.
