The Rooster is the Tenth Animal in the Chinese Zodiac.
Traits: People born in the year of the Rooster are said to be confident, honest, hardworking and ambitious. They are also loyal, courageous and outspoken, but sometimes they can be arrogant, impatient and critical. Roosters like to be the centre of attention and enjoy socializing with others. They are often popular and attractive, but they may also have trouble with relationships due to their high standards and expectations.
Roosters are usually very diligent and organized. They have a strong sense of responsibility and can handle multiple tasks at once. They are not afraid of challenges and difficulties, and they always strive for excellence and perfection. Roosters are also very creative and have a keen eye for detail. They can excel in many fields, such as business, politics, entertainment, sports and art.
Roosters are quick thinkers and are practical and resourceful, preferring to stick to what is tried and true rather than taking unnecessary risks. Roosters are keenly observers of their surroundings and those around them. It’s hard to slip anything past a Rooster, since they seem to have eyes in the backs of their heads. This quality can lead others to think the Rooster is psychic, but that’s not generally the case; instead, this Sign enjoys a keen attention to detail that makes it a whiz at anything requiring close analysis. Roosters make great lawyers, brain surgeons and accountants, to name a few of this Sign’s possible occupations. Above all else, the Rooster is very straightforward and rewards others’ honesty in kind.
Roosters tend to be perfectionists and expect to be in control, especially over their appearance. Primping and posing for the Rooster can go on forever. Being noticed and admired is an aphrodisiac for Roosters, and they can go a long time on a few kind words. Roosters also adore being out on the town, especially if they’re in the company of adoring friends. The Rooster will also be the best-dressed one of the bunch — style counts with this Sign, regardless of the cost.
Roosters need to learn to value their heart and soul as much as their good looks. Their excellent people skills and sharp minds are qualities that others will appreciate as much as a pretty face.
Compatibly: Roosters are compatible with Oxen, Dragons and Snakes, who can appreciate their talents and support their goals. They should avoid Rats, Rabbits and Dogs, who may find them too demanding and bossy. Roosters should also be careful not to offend or hurt others with their sharp words and criticism. They should learn to be more humble, flexible and tolerant, and to listen to different opinions and perspectives.
