- Can also be prone to impatience, stubbornness, and rigidity
Metal:

With a mix of Wood and Metal, you may be someone who is driven to achieve your goals, and who has the discipline and focus to work hard to make them happen. You may be assertive and decisive, but also have an eye for detail and a desire for structure and order.
At the same time, you may also be prone to rigidity and a difficulty adapting to change, especially if it conflicts with your goals or plans.
