Wood Ox
The Ox builds rather than chases. Methodical and unshakeable under pressure, the Ox is the one others count on when things get difficult.
Wood brings expansion and a cooperative instinct - it wants to build, grow, and bring others along in the process. Paired with the Ox's natural disciplined character, this produces someone who is dependable but rarely passive about it.
Their strength is endurance - the willingness to keep showing up long after enthusiasm alone would have quit. With Wood's influence, that tendency is expressed in a distinctly growth-driven way.
Where to watch: The risk is rigidity: a reluctance to change course even when the plan has stopped working. In excess, Wood can overextend, taking on more than can realistically be sustained.
