Let’s celebrate the Year of The Rooster…

The Rooster is a flamboyant personality, feisty and obstinate. She is quite the extrovert, who loves to strut her stuff and is proud of who she is. Outwardly confident, the Rooster is also a trustworthy, hardworking individual. She’ll tell it like it is with no qualms or reservations.

THE YEAR OF THE ROOSTER

The Year of the Rooster, which follows the Year of the Monkey, is tenth in the Chinese zodiac cycle, and recurs every twelfth year. As Chinese New Year does not fall on a specific date, the day it is celebrated varies from year to year.

ROOSTER CHARACTERISTICS

Roosters are very loyal individuals who do not like dishonesty or mockery of any sort. They are blunt, up-front, and honest people—and expect those around them to be that way too. Roosters are happiest when they are surrounded by others, for example at a party or even a simple social gathering. They even enjoy the spotlight, and like to show off their charisma and wit. This star quality can be overbearing, for a Rooster expects you to listen to her when she’s speaking, and can become agitated when you don’t pay attention. Roosters have a tendency to brag about themselves and their achievements—and demand an attentive audience when doing so.

ROOSTER FACTS

People born in the Year of the Rooster share certain traits and associations, including:

The number ten

The Chinese word ji, the radical for honesty

METAL, WATER, WOOD, FIRE AND EARTH ROOSTERS

The Rooster’s traits are tempered by one of the five Chinese elements (metal, water, wood, fire, and earth) that follow their own five-year cycle.

The Metal Rooster: 1921, 1981

Metal Roosters can at times come off as arrogant and stuck up. They need a cushion for that overextended ego, and someone to make sure it stays inflated. Reasonable people who analyze every decision they make and every situation they find themselves in, Metal roosters can be standoffish at times and can let their aggression get in the way of a blossoming friendship or romance. Metal roosters should take a breather from their egos long enough to really enjoy what they have to offer.

The Water Rooster: 1933, 1993

This Rooster is a bit more docile than the other Roosters. She is quieter, more tranquil, and not as vocal or as spotlight-hungry as other roosters. These roosters are great communicators, probably because they possess the ability to tone things down a bit.

They have to learn to appreciate detail but not to harp on it, otherwise they may miss the final destination.

The Wood Roster: 1945, 2005

This Rooster is different in that she enjoys being a part of the team rather than in the spotlight. She 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, 2017
