What Wood adds to the Horse
Wood feeds the Horse's Fire in the five-element cycle, bringing growth and support to a sign already associated with movement. This reading gives the Horse's enthusiasm a shared purpose: gathering companions around an idea, exploring several possibilities and sometimes accepting more commitments than one journey can hold.
The year’s visible stem is Jiǎ 甲, Yang Wood; the Horse branch 午 retains its fixed Fire element.
