Inside the guide
Wood describes growth, planning, flexibility, and direction. Fire describes visibility, warmth, confidence, performance, and immediacy. Earth describes stability, responsibility, accumulation, loyalty, and pressure. Metal describes standards, discipline, refinement, judgment, and boundary. Water describes learning, memory, intuition, rest, mobility, and hidden support.
The generating cycle shows support: Wood feeds Fire, Fire creates Earth, Earth bears Metal, Metal enriches Water, and Water nourishes Wood. The controlling cycle shows regulation: Wood controls Earth, Earth controls Water, Water controls Fire, Fire controls Metal, and Metal controls Wood.
Wood correction: set direction, choose a living goal, and make room for growth. Fire correction: speak, create, share warmth, but avoid burning every room with urgency. Earth correction: simplify, stabilize, keep records, and respect the body's need for rhythm. Metal correction: define standards, price value, protect boundaries, and cut excess. Water correction: study, rest, listen, travel thoughtfully, and let the nervous system cool.
