Willows are highly creative, intuitive and intelligent. They have a keen understanding of cycles, and inherently know that every situation has a season. This gives them a realistic perspective of things, and also causes them to be more patient than most tree signs.

It is Willow’s powers of perception that ultimately allow their true nature to shine, and what leads them to success in life.
