Character
Consider a large tree with roots that go deep into the earth. This is an example of a Jia Wood personality. Because large trees are difficult to move unless they are felled, it can be quite tough to deal with or manage them at times. They are focused, goal-oriented, and can be somewhat stubborn, demanding, and aggressive in order to accomplish their objectives.
Jia Wood individuals are quite direct in their acts and speech, and you can always count on them to tell you the unvarnished truth. Although they appear to be rough on the surface, they are really caring on the inside and are constantly willing to assist others.
They prefer quick decisions and lack the patience to ponder on them; as a result, they frequently make the wrong call, and when they do, they are unwilling to change their minds; they proceed and cause even more damage.
They are subjective thinkers who have difficulty distancing themselves from a situation. They rarely seek advise from others; instead, they seek validation of their own conclusions!
For them, everything must be real; they prefer reality since they are incapable of imagining things out of thin air in order to be creative and achieve. Otherwise, they can succeed at anything they set their minds to.
Jia Woods are excellent teachers who are well-known for their ability to point out other people’s errors. However, they can go too far at times, leaving others feeling judged.
Their self-esteem is inextricably linked to their financial status and sexual attractiveness. They enjoy dressing properly and seeming attractive in order to attract the other sex.
Jia Wood’s confidence is generally weak due to their tree mentality, which becomes extremely upset in the presence of a strong wind – which may even rip them out during stormy weather. Thus, Jia Woods feel confident as long as their circumstances remain favorable.
Jia Wood individuals may have rage difficulties, which are strongly tied to their poor self-confidence since they frequently feel helpless, and anger serves as a defense mechanism. They must maintain their composure and wait for the storm to pass.
Wealth & Work
Career is critical to Jia Wood since it is the source of their self-confidence. They are quite adamant about having nice jobs; prominent ones that come with good status and money. Otherwise, they may begin to lose motivation and withdraw from the task.
In general, they are zealous about seeing things through, much like a tree striving to reach the top. Jia Woods spread their roots widely, and after a while, people will see how much they have been absorbing, almost imperceptibly, day after day.
What this element produces is mainly unseen, much like photosynthesis, in which the tree takes in carbon dioxide and converts it to oxygen — a vital component of life – but we cannot see it. Jia Wood needs a variety of circumstances to grow and flourish, much as trees require water, sunlight, mineral-rich soil, and… time and patience before they give fruit.
When trees grow too large, they may be cut down to make way for new ones; therefore, Jia Wood people should be aware of holding the top position in a company or organization, as it is very potential that they will be eliminated once they achieve a certain degree of accomplishment. It is preferable for Jia Wood to take on supporting roles or to be the number two.
They may think big and establish great plans, but when it comes to details, they can become rather confused, and they lack the mental capacity to sort out all the connected issues, necessitating the assistance of others. Thus, they excel at developing current ideas and refining them but are less enthusiastic about creating new ones, as it entails too many intricacies for them to manage.
Once they have established their own systems, they are averse to change – like with any tree, Jia Woods despise adaptations and transformations.
They can be both hard and soft as leaders. They can be extremely gratifying when business is booming, but when it is not, they can become tight-fisted and calculative.
Once Jia Woods has established a job, they prefer to stay put and not relocate.
The ideal occupations for this elemental type are those that provide favorable starting conditions and are already prepared for them to take over. They, unlike Yin Woods, are incapable of starting things from scratch. As a result, they should not be leaders — or, if they are, they should report to a boss for consultation and direction.
Jia Woods, like any large tree, is extremely tough to move and cannot travel easily. They prefer solitude above company and require their own space and territory; they do not require assistance from other trees. They require sunlight and dirt to flourish. Yang Metal is their biggest adversary, and they fear it with all their might.
They prefer to stick to tried and true solutions in the business. They lack the patience for slow, steady growth, and hence frequently take risks to accelerate things. They are rarely the ones who will introduce a novel concept or technique.
Their primary strength is in repurposing the existent and infusing it with fresh vitality. To maximize Jia Woods’ potential, they should partner with individuals that excel at creativity and detail-oriented work.
Their sales technique is rather aggressive, as they lack the time, patience, and abilities to work with the client for days or weeks, and so will do anything to close the transaction… immediately.
Their money management ability is quite limited; they prefer to risk for quick gains rather than making prudent long-term investments. As a result, they are fairly adept at trading the stock markets and are capable of making a quick profit in a short period of time, but due to the extremely high risks involved, they can also lose a lot of money.
They do not readily accept financial investment advice and rarely conduct adequate investigations. To offset this, Jia Wood people must learn to work with others — and occasionally let them lead!
Relationships
Jia Wood people are generally nice and sympathetic, but due to their tree nature, which prefers to grow alone and large, they might come across as selfish at times. Frequently, they meet people solely to use them later.
Jia Woods are perpetually in rivalry with the people around them, much like a tree competing with other trees to avoid being left in the shadows.
They conceal their envy but prefer to spend more time with others who are weaker than they are. However, they do not frequently display this characteristic and truly attempt to be kind and helpful to others. Generally, they have no malice; their behavior is simply a result of their very competitive temperament.
Jia Wood enjoys entertainment and active social life, particularly with the upper classes. They do, however, have a tendency to associate with morally dubious individuals, and if they are not careful – as trees require soil, which is dirt – low-life individuals become attracted to them. They are prone to sexual misconduct and scandals, particularly male Jia Woods; affairs are never far away unless their fingers (leaves) are severely burned, at which point they can modify their behavior – slowly, of course.
They have a tendency to conceal their own emotions, which makes it difficult for them to make meaningful friends. Even in a romantic connection, they are unlikely to express their emotions openly, and their partners frequently know far less about them than their friends do.
