The Rooster Personality
The candid Rooster will tell you what’s on their mind. When you speak, you give a frank and honest report. Furthermore, it will be easily understood because of the acute expressiveness of both your words and your non-verbal communication. You probably have a wry sense of humor, meaning it has a clever and often ironically or grimly humorous quality about it. It’s likely you are great at doing projects thanks to your outstanding organizational skills. You tend to go about your work in the most efficient manner, aided by your keen eye for detail. At work or play enthusiasm characterizes your attitude, and it’s infectious.
Another reason people rally to you is your evident self-confidence which translates into a fearless approach to any situation. Furthermore, your idealism lends instant stature to your efforts and wins many converts to your side. Then again, it might be you just look good. You are most likely chic and refined and know how to make a dramatic entrance to make sure everyone else knows it. Yes, you probably believe you should flaunt it if you have it. The Rooster is not only argumentative but also good at it. Sometimes you find fault with something a person did and go on and on and on about it. You have a tendency to nag too much.
You exhibit the same enthusiasm when bragging about yourself as you do when criticizing others. You can be a show off. Your tendency to extravagance comes out when your sometimes-pretentious nature reminds you of your need to impress. In truth, you are conceited, narrow minded and selfish when at your worst. As the Rooster struts around the barnyard reveling in being the center of attention, so do you believe you deserve the spotlight. In turn you direct the spotlight on others, but it isn’t particularly welcome many times. Too often you are insensitive, bossy and tactless. Sensitivity training was designed with the Rooster in mind.
The Rooster In Relationships
The Rooster occasionally has trouble with relationships due to their inclination to argue and nag. You will have your best results if you can control this tendency. Your attention to personal dress and grooming is a plus, and it would not be surprising if members of the opposite sex are attracted to you because of your appearance. Intimacy may not be easy for you, especially since you tend to have strong feelings about people. You tend to either like or dislike them intensely.
You also can be quite demanding. The best partner for you is someone you can truly respect, both for their looks and their abilities. You can be remarkably particular and drive family members crazy with your attention to detail. However, your attention to detail can be a positive trait if you use it to carter to the needs and wants of your romantic partner. Your keen eye should be able to discern your lover's needs before then are able to know them for themselves.

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 they뭭e started.
THE FIRE ROOSTER 1957 AND 2017
A Fire Rooster뭩 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.

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!).

The Rooster Personality
The Rooster, or Chicken as he is also called, is the Don Quixote of the Chinese cycle. The dauntless hero who must look to the earth to survive, he is the most misunderstood and eccentric of all the signs.
Outwardly, he is the epitome of self-assurance and aggression, but at heart he could be conservative and old-fashioned.
The Rooster-born, especially the men, will be attractive, even dashingly handsome. The princely fowl is radiant and proud of his fine feathers and has an impeccable carriage. You don't find any roosters slouching; they strut about with dignity. Even the shyest member of the Rooster family will cut a neat, trim figure and maintain a special bearing wherever he goes.
There are two distinct types of Roosters. The rapid-firing, extremely talkative ones and the deadly solemn observer types with the X-ray vision. Both are equally hard to deal with. The Rooster has many outstanding qualities to crow about. He is sharp, neat, precise, organized, decisive, upright, alert and most direct. He can also be critical to the point of brutality. Don't ever ask him for his frank, candid opinion훬ou may never recover from his comments. He loves to argue and debate, showing how knowledgeable and smart he is, sometimes with little regard for the feelings of others. But when his feathers are ruffled in return, he is insufferable. He isWt cut out to be a diplomat. Situations requiring tact, delicacy and discretion will cramp his style. His way is to go about trying to convert everyone to his way of thinking with missionary zeal.
An outstanding performer, the Rooster shines when he is the center of attraction. Tremendously imposing as a personality, he could well pursue any career that exposes him to the public eye. Gay, witty and amusing, the magnificent Rooster will never pass up an opportunity to recount his adventures and enumerate his accomplishments. He is adroit at expressing himself both in speech and in writing. You will have to concede that he is well-versed and prepared for any subject to be discussed. If you intend to challenge him on a controversial issue, be ready to fight long and hard the Rooster has amazing stamina, does his homework and can wear you out.
When the Rooster is negative, he is egoistic, opinionated and too abrasive for his own good. In his mind, he is 100 percent right. He presides over gatherings to exhibit the excellent opinion he has of himself. However, if you look closely, you will find that he puts on this act more as a way to constantly reassure himself of his own worth rather than to irritate anyone. For all his poise and bravado, the Rooster is not that sure of himself, and is therefore most susceptible to flattery or delusions of grandeur.
All members of the Chicken family can handle money. They are just fascinated by accounting, sorting out finances and generally guarding the cash box. He budgets everything he can get his hands on and that includes his time, your time, the mailman's time, company time, ad inEnitum. Even the smallest one will most likely be elected as Treasurer of the Little League. He will handle his pennies wisely, and before you know it he may be running his own mini-bank, giving loans and charging interest from more careless youngsters.
If you have problems with your finances due to a lack of selfcontrol훦urn your money over to a Rooster. He'll make you an ironclad budget and slap your wrists every time you touch one cent more than allowed.
While you may live to lament this move, you can be sure he is doing it all for your own good훒ven if he does seem to be sadistically enjoying it a bit too much and even if it is your money. Don't be so ungrateful! You should thank your lucky stars he condescended to help you at all.
Now all those bits and pieces of paper you scattered around have been neatly filed away by this efficiency expert. Your income is reconciled with your expenditures for the first time in years. You start to see the light of day. And the Internal Revenue wolf has not cast his dark shadow on your doorstep now that the Rooster is here and your creditors no longer haunt you day and night. You would be worse off, you know, if it weren't for this financial savior.
I know, too, at this point you may think you have got more than you bargained for. You will complain bitterly how he won't let you off lightly even for your smallest error. You are now in a state of perfect financial accord, yet totally miserable in this newfound bliss. Your blood pressure shoots up every time you have one of those profound discussions with him. Well, relax. Don't take it so hard.
Try to think back. Remember that day you took him on and how he made That sacred vow to help you out of the woods and stick to you "for better or for worse"? It is just that you get to see the worse part first. Stick around, things are bound to get better. His key word is service and he won't disappoint even your greatest expectations. You may not be able to live with the Rooster, but you will find that neither can you get along without him.
Actually, the Chinese character for the Rooster is "Ji" which simply means Chicken. But since this person will do anything but "chicken out" of a situation, I have respectfully chosen to address him as the Rooster. Besides, the Rooster's personality really enhances and dominates that of the entire chicken family. If there were to be an ad in tomorrow's paper for a "Superman with Fine Fiscal Abilities," you can be sure the Rooster would apply and be qualified for the job, too.
His is the sign of the collector, too. Outstanding accounts bug him terribly. And you know what chickens do with bugs. My, my, you have all these uncollectable debts due you? Just watch the Rooster roll up his sleeves and take on those culprits who owe you money. You cannot find anyone finer to carry out an important directive. He loves difficult assignments. But don't expect him to improvise. He is an explicit person and you have to give him explicit orders. On top of all his virtues, you cannot ask him to be versatile and inventive too. That would be asking too much.
To truly understand a Rooster, you must accept his predilection for controversy. This may be because of the mental exercise it provides him. You must comprehend, difficult as it may sound, that there is nothing personal in his moves. You should have enough sense to keep out of the crossfire when you know his gun is .always loaded. And while he does seem knowledgeable and wordily about everything else, it should also be noted that the Rooster can be puritanical about sex, or affairs of the heart.
For the Rooster to make smooth, unimpeded progress it would be well if he first realized that people will not be so adverse to accepting his excellent advice훘f only he could ,o better with the packaging. A little sugar coating, perhaps? He doesn't have to be like the old fashioned doctor who prescribes bitter-tasting concoctions with no regard for our delicate taste buds!
When a Rooster spends lavishly, he must be doing it to appease his oversize ego. He is a sharp dresser and loves to attract attention. Therefore, he occasionally will have the tendency to overdecorate his home, his office or. even himself. He is also very impressed with awards of all kinds, medals and honorary titles. Every Rooster will try to win at least one award, have one professional title to his credit or get a minimum of one medal per war. With money, he will only be generous with his immediate family or in order to win love and admiration from his followers. Otherwise, the only thing you can be assured of getting from him free is advice.
A Rooster born at the crack of dawn, during the Tiger's hours, or at sundown (between 5 and 7 P.M., the hours of the Rooster) is definitely going to be the noisiest of the lot. I personally know of one whose family has long since been considering the use of a muzzle to silence his lengthy discourses. Too bad not one among them has worked up the courage for the task. Night Roosters tend to be the exact opposite. They can be over serious, self-contained and uncommunicative even. These quiet roosters tend to be doubly eccentric, bookwormish, aloof or insulated in their quest for perfection.
All Roosters are perfectionists in one form or another. They will have a sharp eye for details mixed with theoretical flights of fancy. Their ideas sometimes look better on paper than in actual application because they forget to make allowance for human frailties and other varying factors.
