Wood Ox personality
The Wood Ox combines endurance with the idea of gradual growth, making patience a way to nurture something rather than merely preserve it. Cooperation softens the Ox's preference for doing things by an established method. The balancing question in this portrait is whether being dependable leaves enough room to accept help and share responsibility instead of carrying every obligation alone.
