The Ten Selves – Ji (Earth) People

Image
What does your Self reveal about you?   Your Self matters – it determines who you are!   The promise of the most fertile land is that whatever you plant - it will grow…  Unlike the reserved Wu individuals, Ji people are ‘softer’ in nature who tend to be realistic, practical and down-to-earth.

Wu Earth: a rock-solid promise.  Each Self displays specific characteristics that can help us understand ourselves better, as well as others around us – whether it is a loved one or a complete stranger. Wu and Ji people fall into the Earth Element, but can physically and emotionally appear very different. Wu is the Yang Earth Self; it makes people associated with the Element sturdy as a stone and as rooted as a tree. The image of Wu Earth is high ground, where it is dry and more laborious to excavate – emphasizing how they are less likely to let their guard down compared to their Yin counterpart. The tall mountain tends to hide what riches it holds. Others perceive Wu people as rough or straightforward, but beneath their tough exterior, they are steady, well-grounded, industrious and generous. They might not readily reveal their positive qualities,...
