The Rooster
Years: 2017, 2005, 1993, 1981, 1969, 1957
You are the Rooster, and you walk into a room like the sun coming up: bright, precise and impossible to ignore. You take pride in how you look and how you live, and there is nothing shallow about it. That polish is your discipline made visible. Behind the confident strut sits a sharp, observant mind that notices every loose thread, every wrong number, every promise not yet kept. You say what you think, plainly and out loud, because you would rather be honest than soothing.
You are hardworking, organised and fiercely loyal to the people and causes you believe in. You plan ahead, you keep your word, and you expect the same in return. Your weakness is the flip side of your strength: you can be blunt to the point of prickly, critical of small faults, and quick to defend a bruised pride. When you soften that edge and trust others to be imperfect, people fall in love with your candour.
In love you are devoted, protective and refreshingly direct, though your honesty can sting, so lead with warmth and let your partner see the tender heart under the confident feathers. You want a mate who admires your effort and gives you a steady, loyal home to strut back to.
At work you shine: diligent, detail-obsessed and reliable, you thrive wherever precision, presentation and hard graft are rewarded. With money you are careful and shrewd, saving steadily and rarely gambling on what you cannot control.
