The Wood Sheep is good-natured, thoughtful, diplomatic, sociable and courteous. He is kind and compassionate to those in need and is always willing to help friends and families. He is considerate and always thinks of how others feel and how to make them happy. He is tactful and always makes it a point to express his message without offending the other party.
However, he does have a tendency to be overzealous in trying to please or make others happy. This very sensitive Sheep will also have very good nurturing instincts and capabilities. He is altruistic in nature, always on the lookout for who he can take into his fold and help to better their lives. The Wood element gives him a more steady, stable nature than other Sheep though and while he may still be ruled by his heart more than his head, he will be more sensible in his reactions, responding less emotionally than his other Sheep brothers.
The Wood Sheep however, is innately insecure and tends to seek the approval of others to feel his own worth. Sometimes, he can also be too trusting of others to the extent that they take the opportunity to take advantage of him.
Life Lessons:
The Wood Sheep should develop self confidence and have trust in his own worth and capabilities. He should also have more discretion in trusting others and take care not to let unscrupulous people take advantage of him.
