When we hear that someone has a Fire-based Day Master is may be easy to imagine them as having a fierce, fiery temper. Contrary to this, Ding 丁 Fire people are actually gentle, fun, and easygoing souls. Think of a candle flame, emanating brightness and warmth – not a blazing fire.

Ding Fire individuals are warm, personable, and sophisticated enough to think about how their decisions affect others. They would never dream of doing something to make another person unhappy or uncomfortable. They are lighting quick decision-makers. In most situations, this makes them highly effective, where hang wringing might lead to missed opportunity. They are also thorough to a fault. Intellectual by nature, Ding Fire’s love to learn more and need to know all there is to know before they develop confidence. They demand evidence before they believe something. They are close to their family and tend to be loving and generous.

If you do manage to get on the wrong side of a Ding Fire person, you will wish you hadn’t. Their temper, once unleashed, is fierce. Sometimes Ding Fire individuals can seem inconsistent or mercurial to deal with. If they are smiling in the morning they might not be by lunch time. This is because they have a thin skin and are easily upset or angered. Sometimes this leads to those around them feeling like they have to walk on eggshells. Although they are quick at making decisions, accuracy is sometimes compromised as a result. Because they don’t usually sit down to weigh up the options, Ding Fires can make foolish, impulsive choices on occasion.

Bing Fire individuals are never dull. Think of the intense heat of the sun – it simply cannot be ignored. Like an especially sunny day, Bing Fire leaders get everyone animated.

They are optimistic and naturally charismatic, infectiously passionate, and always enthusiastic about whatever they are doing. They are honest and straight-talking without being offensive in their candor. They are also naturally confident and self-assured. When a person believes in themselves in the way that a Bing Fire does, then other people are inclined to believe in them, too. This helps explains why the Bing Fire has no trouble finding supporters and allies to their cause or vision.

Without a set routine, the Bing Fire can feel lost and become unproductive. When everything is changing around them, they have a hard time becoming anchored and getting things done. The devil is in the details for a Bing Fire who spends all their time thinking about the bigger picture, neglecting smaller, less exciting duties and considerations. Because “failure” isn’t in the dictionary of a Bing Fire, they can have a hard time realising that things aren’t panning out and often don’t know when to cut their losses and move on. The over-confident, unchecked Bing Fire can come across as egotistical.

The Yi Wood can be imagined as the slow-growing vine or creeping ivy. Yi Wood individuals are likable
and charming in their social interactions, positive traits attributed to their easy-going, agreeable personality. Not the type to shoot from the hip, the Yi Wood tends to showcase their finest when they are dealing with others, and can be quick-witted, flattering, and sharp around their friends or colleagues and families.

Networking, making connections, and uniting others are among the highlighted strengths you will find in a Yi Wood. They deploy their quick wit and fast thinking to resolve problems and people often turn to them when a quick decision is needed. Yi Wood individuals are likely to excel professionally, as they are highly motivated to expand on their talents and apply them to advance ahead in their careers. They also possess a strong moral compass and often put the needs of others ahead of their own.

Sometimes the Yi Wood neglect to survey the finer details of a situation. When the chips are down, the Yi Wood can become crafty rather than witty and resort to using devious tactics to survive. They know that their charm can be used to get other people to do things that align with their agenda, and they don’t mind stepping on others to get on board with their destination.

Just as a plant can be swayed by the slightest breeze, the Yi Wood have easily changeable emotions. Their fluctuating emotions can interfere with their thoughts, influencing their judgment, and decision-making capability. Yi Wood individuals are susceptible to the prevailing attitude of a group and will often go along with what other people want them to.

If you want a good idea of the nature of a Jia Wood individual, think of a tall, sturdy, slow-growing tree – possibly an oak tree, teakwood tree, California redwood or something with similar characteristics of resilience and sturdiness. They are forthright and call it as they see it regardless of what company they are in.

They are grand thinkers who produce solutions to stand the test of time. They are not one to agree with other people for the sake of pleasing them. Usually, this can be seen as a positive trait, a Pillar of integrity, and an emphasis on principles rather than popularity. Jia Wood individuals care about others and have a kind side that is revealed over time as trust is earned.

They tend to be quiet and enigmatic unless in a familiar company. No time for pretenses, Jia Wood individuals call it like they see it even if this can cause offence or if others disagree. They are stubborn to the end and will go down with a sinking ship. They lack objectivity on things. They also lack the ability to question their choices or look at things from someone else’s point of view. When they ask for someone else’s opinion they just want to hear their own opinion in a different voice.
