The two Day Masters

Yin Wood — The Vine

Flexible, resourceful, and always finds a way through.

How the elements meet

Seen through the restraint cycle, Metal cuts Wood. Here, Yin Wood is the one being held in check. The restraint cycle is about self-control, conflict, correction and tests. Restraint isn’t automatically bad. Some control is what turns an overflowing energy into something useful.
