Rooster is often seen as the original strong silent type, not
unlike the Humphrey Bogart and Greto Garbo prototypes. Most people
consider them quite eccentric. Sad to say, relationships with other
people are often strained. They are quite moody and can be too
outspoken. They are often self-centered, but can be quite brave
when the situation calls for it. On the other hand, Rooster People
are quite talented and capable. They are always devoted to their
work and have a reputation for being the hardest of workers.
Rooster People are deep thinkers and are pioneers in spirit. They
can experience the greatest of joy in complete solitude. Even
though often alone, they rarely experience loneliness. Instead,
they enjoy their own company and feel solitude helps them in their
quest after knowledge.

METAL ROOSTER
Feb 8, 1921 to Jan 27, 1922
Feb 5, 1981 to Jan 24, 1982
Sometimes this one walks around with its head in the cumulus
clouds, higher than the stars. You see, this rooster struts around
with peacock feathers and they never ever ruffle. So much arrogance
can make it hard to get along with others, especially when the
Rooster is also intolerant of those who are less talented and a bit
slower than normal. On the other hand, the Metal Rooster is
extraordinarily talented. Of all twelve Zodiac signs, this one is
probably the most high-minded of them all, with a very clean line
of thought. The Metal Roosters can distinguish right from wrong
very clearly and it doesn't matter which direction they pursue,
they always wind up going the right way. If they confront a maze,
or big problem, they will immediately see a solution because of
their analytical, logical way of thinking. Through their
perseverance, any hurricane becomes an orderly thing of beauty,
just like that! When it's time for romance, the male Metal Rooster
has no trouble at all, love just abounds; the female has a tendency
to keep to herself, making connections less freely, but lastingly
when they happen.
WATER ROOSTER
Jan 26, 1933 to Feb 13, 1934
Jan 23, 1993 to Feb 9, 1994
Whispered sweet nothings lead to trouble for this one! Oh, my!
Their very soft hearts relish love and the heartbreaking poetry of
love trysts. They pamper their senses with indulgences and when
they're not looking, they sink into a love trap more powerful than
quicksand. Their relationships will last forever because they take
very good care of their other half. They have a love for life, too,
and want to right every wrong. Their idealism will lead them to
become involved in life, oftentimes through political action or
volunteer work, and they work hard to make life problem-free, for
themselves and others. The Water Rooster is very intelligent, with
quick reflexes, and has inexhaustible energy. For one thing, this
Rooster rations its energy, in a leisurely, never hurried manner,
taking all the time necessary to make decisions, rationally and
analytically, whether it comes to business, friendship, or love
relationship.
WOOD ROOSTER
Feb 13, 1945 to Feb 1, 1946
Feb 9, 2005 to Jan 28, 2006
You can often find the Wood Rooster behind the scenes or in
solitary activities. They love bookshops with strong espresso and
offbeat music groups, particularly modern jazz or chamber work.
They are reserved but at the same time can be quite sociable, too,
when the occasion calls for it, always considerate, gentle, and
easy going, always liking to please others. They can quickly
overcome bad feelings. No one ever feels threatened by their
company. On a bad day, the Wood Rooster can be so mild-mannered,
it's easy to ignore them. But on a good day -- and there are many
good days -- they are proud and very articulate in expressing their
views. In fact, their quiet exterior belies an intense talent in
persuading others to their point of view. People are amazed they
can talk so much! Most days, Wood Roosters depend on others way too
much. The most important thing Wood Roosters MUST do is to develop
an independent streak, to look inside themselves for strength;
their careers, financial life, relationships, and very happiness
depends on this!
FIRE ROOSTER
Jan 31, 1957 to Feb 17, 1958
Fire Roosters have adrenaline coursing through their veins! These
self-promoters enjoy jumping the goal posts and therefore engage in
competition of all kinds. When there's a target to pursue, enemy to
conquer, and goal to achieve, they know how to make big things
happen. Big magnificent things do happen in career and finances,
such as having a fulfilling cozy security. These are influential,
powerful people always trustworthy, and the world stands up and
salutes! In the dance of love, Roosters need to learn it takes two
to tango. Very adept at making Romance sizzle like wildfire, the
male Rooster nevertheless occasionally encounters problems in
getting his message understood. Sandpaper friction results, they
argue and two egos wind up getting hurt, but not for long. They
always manage to work it out somehow. What will help in the future
is to fully understand that your partner's needs are just as
important to your partner as your own needs are important to you.
With work, your tango of love can become the most passionate and
ultimate love dance.
EARTH ROOSTER
Jan 22, 1909 to Feb 9, 1910
Feb 17, 1969 to Feb 5, 1970
The Earth Rooster epitomizes the very essence of one of Robert
Browning's most popular poems, "Grow old along with me; the best is
yet to be." Despite early adversity and rough times, their
philosophical bent has led them to expect and therefore to achieve
the good life. They have a very analytical way of looking at
problems and they can pierce the most daunting of tasks with utmost
efficiency. With saint-like patience, they are consistent in
everything they do and always answer to their own counsel, which
hasn't failed them yet. As a result, their careers are forever
anchored in smooth sailing, and as life passes, they will know
peace, abundance, and complete fulfillment. The same goes for their
love life. There are difficulties at the very beginning but as time
goes by, they understand each other perfectly, and receive "the
best" love has to offer.
