What Wood adds to the Dragon
Wood controls the Dragon's Earth, introducing growth and revision into a sign traditionally associated with a forceful sense of direction. The Wood Dragon reading emphasizes building an ambitious idea with other people, including the tension between welcoming their contributions and wanting the larger design to remain intact.
The year’s visible stem is Jiǎ 甲, Yang Wood; the Dragon branch 辰 retains its fixed Earth element.
