flamboyant personality, feisty and obstinate. He is quite the extrovert

Years
of the Rooster

essential to check the calendar to find the exact date on which each
Rooster Year actually begins.

THE SIGN OF THE ROOSTER
Roosters are very
loyal individuals. They do not like dishonesty or mockery of any sort.
They are blunt, up front and honest people and expect those around them to
be the same. Roosters are happiest when they are surrounded by others, at
a party or just a social gathering. They even enjoy the spotlight and will
exhibit their charisma and wit in a minute. This star quality can be
overbearing, for a Rooster expects you to listen to him while he speaks
and can become agitated if you don’t. Roosters do have a tendency to brag
about themselves and their achievements and demand an attentive audience
when doing so.

IN YOUR ELEMENT
The characteristics
of the Rooster are tempered by one of the five Chinese elements of Metal,
Water, Wood, Fire and Earth overlaying a 5-year cycle of characteristics
on the original 12-year cycle.
THE METAL
ROOSTER 1921 AND 1981
Metal Roosters can
come off as arrogant and stuck up at times. They need a cushion for that
overextended ego and someone to make sure it stays inflated. They are
reasonable people who seem to analyze every decision they make and every
situation they find themselves in. They are standoffish at times and can
let their aggression get in the way of a blossoming friendship or romance.
These Roosters should take a breather from their egos long enough to
really enjoy what they have to offer.
THE WATER
ROOSTER 1933 AND 1993
This Rooster is a bit
more docile than the other Roosters. He is quieter, more tranquil, not as
vocal or as spotlight hungry as other Roosters. These Roosters are great
communicators probably because they do possess the ability to tone things
down a bit. They have boundless energy that sometimes gets caught up in
detail which causes a lapse in concentration. They have to learn to
appreciate detail but not to harp on it, otherwise they may miss the final
destination.
THE WOOD ROOSTER
194S AND 2005
This Rooster is
different in that he enjoys being a part of the team rather than in the
spotlight like other Roosters. He likes the company of others and is a
genuine friend. These Roosters work for the betterment of society, working
diligently to change the evils of it. They expect quality attempts from
others involved with the causes and sometimes expect too much of their
co-volunteers, as they do of themselves. Often, because of this desire to
help society, these Roosters overcommitt themselves, unable to finish what
they’ve started.
THE FIRE ROOSTER
1957 AND 2017
A Fire Rooster’s image
is his most prized possession. He spends a lot of time making himself look
good, causing him to appear vain. He is flaunty and dramatic, yet he is a
brilliant social organizer who loves to plan parties and gatherings. They
do have a tendency to be a bit bossy and this combined with a bluntness
can cause hurt feelings and bruised egos amongst co-workers. Still, these
Roosters make great leaders, creative, diligent and motivated.
THE EARTH
ROOSTER 1909 AND 1969
This Rooster is
overtly organized. He is a little reserved and quite careful in his
decision-making. These Roosters are hard workers as well, and can handle
several tasks at once. They are detail-oriented who are quite efficient
and self-sufficient. They take on responsibility without a cause and are
motivated only in wanting to be successful. Sometimes they can be abrasive
with colleagues if work is not up to their standards. This can cause
resentment, so the Earth Rooster must be careful in his approach of his
point of view, being sure to be honest and still kind.
HEALTH AND HABITAT
HEALTH
Roosters are typically
fit people. They enjoy sports and active hobbies such as hiking and
swimming. They don’t get sick very often because they tend to fight
illness fairly well. However, when they do get ill, they usually bounce
right back. Roosters can be a little high strung, suffering from dramatic
mood swings and stress.
AT HOME WITH THE
ROOSTER
As proud as they are
of themselves, you can only imagine how they are about their homes.
Roosters put a lot of effort into their homes as they reflect the Roosters
assets and taste. They are very neat and clean and have everything in its
own specific place. They make a chore out of cleaning out drawers and
closets with a knack for rearranging them better and better each time they
attempt it. This habit is enough to drive anyone berserk, but a Rooster’s
family understands his need for a dramatic appearance.
CAREER AND FINANCE
THE ROOSTER AT
WORK
Roosters are more
motivated than most other Animal Signs, making their careers a priority in
their lives. They are hard working, flexible individuals able to stick to
the given tasks. They are generally successful individuals who reach the
top of their chosen professions.
MONEY AND THE
ROOSTER
An eye for detail
means the Rooster is pretty good at handling his finances. He is able to
give others good financial advice and can help get budgets under control.
However, when it comes to his own finances, the Rooster is either or. He
either spends it all or hoards it for a rainy day.

LOVERS AND SPOUSES
THE ROOSTER
LOVER
Roosters are generally
pretty black or white when it comes to their feelings. They either like
you, or they don’t. There is no in between. Although they are vocal with
opinions and ideas, Roosters are pretty tight-lipped about their personal
emotions and feelings. They certainly don’t wear their hearts on their
sleeves. They are intensely private people who never kiss and
tell.
MARRIAGE
Roosters are not
extremely easy to live with. However, if you can get past their bossy,
obstinate, my way or no way exterior, you find a wonderfully romantic,
caring individual hidden beneath. Their hearts are made of solid gold and
they genuinely care abut their family and friends as mush as they care
about themselves (believe it or not!). They are not suited for a sensitive
partner, again, their candor and wit can be humiliating at times. Roosters
can be highly critical of their partners, often expecting too much of
them.
THE ROOSTER LOVE
PARTNER
Roosters need a stable
companion, one who can take everything he dishes out. He needs someone who
will stand up to him and his mincing words and out him in place when need
be. Roosters also need partners who will deflate them when they are a bit
too high on themselves and who can take their constant
boasting.
