The Beginning of Spring marks the start of a new cycle in nature.
After the quiet stillness of winter, life begins to stir: buds swell, sap rises, and the first hints of green return to the world.
In the Five Elements philosophy, this season is ruled by Wood — the energy of growth, new beginnings, flexibility, clarity, and gentle upward movement.
Wood energy teaches us that strength is not always forceful.
It can be soft, persistent, and adaptive, like a young tree bending in the wind but continuing to rise.
When Wood energy is balanced, we feel focused, calm, creative, and ready to move forward with ease.
When out of balance, we may feel stuck, tense, irritable, or uncertain of our direction.
May this spring bring you soft beginnings, steady growth, and the quiet courage to unfold in your own time.
