Your Personal Element is YIN WOOD, represented by a small plant, a bush, branches or a flower. Your world is one of vegetation and vitality, but in a yin version, meaning with a subtle touch. 

Those born under this element are said to have a flexible and observant attitude towards life. Instead of trying to impose themselves in a more obvious manner, they often prefer to BE SUBTEL. Just like any plant or flower, most probably, you know how to adapt to the winds of change with a certain elegance (and cunningness, let’s be honest…) and without ever losing your identity or compromising your goals and intentions. 

A good relationship with those who surround you is therefore one of your strong suits. Your charm is a powerful weapon that you’ve learned to master. You also know how to influence others, but you chose to do this in the least obvious way to a level in which your targets seldom understand what is really happening.

Your network is another of your advantages and is much connected to your way of life and your path to success. 

Whenever possible, you’ll chose diplomacy over war. On the other hand, there is an extremely sophisticated side to your personality, one that is most probably linked to a powerfully rich intellect. 

Certain masters in the Chinese tradition also mention a certain attraction to the public life and need to be admired and be the center of attraction. To prove this theory one needs only to remember some of the celebrities born under YIN WOOD: Beyoncé, Rihanna, Amy Winehouse, Princess Diana, Oprah Winfrey, and former USA President, Bill Clinton.

Please note that your PERSONAL ELEMENT is not meant to explain your whole personality since there are other components related to the moment of your birth that will influence you as well. The PERSONAL ELEMENT should therefore be seen as the basis, the raw material that will be shaped by a group of forcers, namely the PROFILES, which reflect the cosmic conditions of your birth.

THE WARRIOR is your Natural Profile

The verb ‘to survive’ is perhaps the one that best represents your Profile’s meaning. Living on the edge often becomes a kind of ‘comfort zone’ for you. In fact, in the most difficult situations, your best qualities shine through.

Of course, it all depends on the context of the other dominant forces of your personality. This Profile can either become a source of trouble or make you the hero of impossible missions. In any case, the source of energy is the same. THE WARRIOR is about a power that “attacks” us personally, and we either succumb to it or become substantially stronger.

You have the potential to become a charismatic individual who draws followers, someone capable of facing the greatest challenges.

What we find unusual in personalities like Ellen Degeneres and Amy Winehouse, for example, has to do with the presence of THE WARRIOR as their Natural Profiles. However, in the case of Barack Obama THE WARRIOR is both his Natural Profile and a Dominant Profile, which strengthens the influence of that kind of energy.

THE EXPERT is a Dominant Profile of your personality.

First, let us just say that Chinese tradition views this Profile as particularly fortunate since people under its influence tend to keep the negative energies of life in check. So you’re probably a naturally positive spirit inclined to have optimistic thoughts.

The central meaning of THE EXPERT Profile is the work of intelligence and how one uses their talents.

Consequently, you will always end up achieving a certain degree of visibility. At the very least, your name tends to become almost universally known in your professional and social circles due largely to the sense of expertise attached to it.

And yet, it is fair to say, making yourself known is not your priority. While one can tell you do strive for perfection and like to push the talent you were born with to its limits, everything that follows (fame or money, for example) will follow.

Another aspect of this Profile is related to the symbology of a flowering tree or plant. Just as a tree has the potential to grow a flower, the appearance of the said flower becomes a confirmation of the tree’s potential. Realizing your potential is thus a mantra of yours. 

As would be expected, this Profile makes a frequent appearance in celebrities since, in most cases, it is, in symbolic terms, the analogy of the flowering of a plant or a tree.

This Profile includes other aspects, such as a taste for refinement and aesthetics. It should be noted that, among what can flourish, one should include the physical appearance and facets of your personality that can be truly enchanting.

Among celebrities with this Profile, the following cases deserve mention: David Beckham, Lionel Messi, Barack Obama, Steve Jobs, Princess Diana, Kurt Cobain, and Elvis Presley.

NOTE

If your Natural Profile is also THE EXPERT, then these predispositions will be strongly accentuated. On the other hand, the beneficial side of your Profile only becomes more evident when there are, either as your Natural Profile or among your Dominant Profiles, any of the following: THE FRIEND, THE LEADER, or THE ANALYSER.

THE ENTREPRENEUR is a Dominant Profile of your personality 

The prominent presence of this Profile can manifest itself in different ways, depending on the context.

For example, if your Personal Element, your Natural Profile, and the other Dominant Profiles (if any) predominantly point towards prudence, security, and stability, then this THE ENTREPRENEUR profile will serve to introduce more dynamism and ambition into your personality. 

Otherwise, THE ENTREPRENEUR predicts that your personality and your life tend to be quite dynamic, without fear of taking risks.

With this Profile, a component of vision and sense of opportunity is introduced.

However, THE ENTREPRENEUR’s strategy is not so much related to accumulating money, goods or giving small steps towards success. The process is rather to analyze situations in search of opportunities and opt for the most promising path, even if this involves risks and some unpredictability. Being proactive is how you take on life!  

It is generally agreed that working for others is a safer option, as the risks are relatively low. However, in the case of those born with a strong THE ENTREPRENEUR Profile, the choice of starting their own business is a way more likely route as it often makes a shorter, more direct, path towards success. 

Another factor that will help you is that you have a remarkable ability to motivate others to collaborate on your projects. On the other hand, however, you’re probably not one to easily collaborate on other people’s projects or companies. 

Celebrities with a strong THE ENTREPRENEUR profile include Jennifer Aniston, Angelina Jolie, Meryl Streep, Brad Pitt, and Bob Dylan.

NOTE

If your Natural Profile is also THE ENTREPRENEUR, then these predispositions will be strongly accentuated. But the beneficial side of your Profile only becomes more evident when there is, as your Natural Profile or among your Dominant Profiles, one of the following: THE FRIEND, THE ANALYSER, or THE PHILOSOPHER.

THE ANALYSER is your personality’s Dominant Profile. 

Overall prudence and a need for safety are two vital features of this Profile. You probably need to feel safe and well-grounded before you move into action or venture into the unknown. Typically, those born under this Dominant Profile are experts in making their boundaries well known, a way of clearly defining their territory, creating a place they recognise and feel safe in. 

Positive factors that derive from this need for safety are your propensity and capacity to study, analyse, obtain information, and further your knowledge. These abilities help you feel well informed and, therefore less vulnerable. 

There’s another important aspect of your Profile not related to ideas or information but to people. Unless other dominant profiles contradict this, you tend to be people-oriented rather than task-oriented. 

In fact, this is one of your greatest strengths! Do note that this isn’t merely a pragmatic way in which you feel it is beneficial to cultivate good relationships with others. On the contrary, you truly value your relations with others and have a strong need to help them. Your capacity to empathize is astonishing! 

Being under this Profile also means you feel most comfortable when “preparing for action”. In other words, getting to know your grounds, studying, accumulating and managing information, and, last but not least, to contribute for a good emotional connection between elements of any social group (family, friends, coworkers).

On the other hand, you might feel less comfortable when it comes to “go into action”, something out of your comfort zone. But take into account that the presence of other more dynamic Profiles in your personality will help overcome this weak point.

In any case, your association with more outgoing and daring individuals will be beneficial. 

NOTE:

If your Natural Profile is THE ANALYSER as well, these predispositions will tend to be more accentuated. However, the positive side of this Profile tends to be more noticeable when combined with other Profiles like THE EXPERT, THE PERFORMER, THE OFFICER, or THE WARRIOR.
