Rooster

Perfectionism, Style and Honesty

鸡

The Rooster is the most colourful, extravagant and self-confident figure in the Chinese zodiac. People born under this sign love being the centre of attention, take care of their appearance and always have something to say. They are masters of self-promotion, but behind the facade of loud behaviour lies an analytical, hard-working and extremely organised mind. The Rooster is not afraid of the truth - it says what it thinks to your face, which sometimes makes it enemies, but always commands respect.

Despite its outward self-confidence and proud bearing, deep down the Rooster often feels insecure. Its perfectionism stems from a fear of criticism, which is why it attacks first, pointing out the mistakes of others.

Personality Traits

Roosters are born perfectionists. They pay attention to every detail, both in their appearance and in their work. They are very well organised, punctual and reliable. They like to plan and keep their finger on the pulse.

They are also extremely intelligent and well read, although they often hide their knowledge behind the mask of a joker or an eccentric. They love discussions and debates in which they can show off their eloquence. Their weakness is a tendency to criticise and to impose their opinions on others. They believe that their way of doing things is the only right one. Despite their rough exterior, they are loyal to family and friends and ready to defend them to the last.

Love and Relationships

In love the Rooster is demanding. It looks for a partner who will admire it, but who will also match it in intellect and class. It takes a relationship seriously and plans it for life, although its flirtatious nature sometimes puts faithfulness to the test.

As a lover it is passionate and full of energy, but can be self-centred. It expects commitment and attention to appearance from its partner. It cannot stand neglect and boredom. With a Rooster there is no silent treatment - if something does not suit it, it will say so loudly and clearly. It needs a patient partner who will understand that behind its criticism there is often care and a desire to improve the world.

Career and Finances

The Rooster is a powerhouse of work. It is ambitious, effective and not afraid of difficult challenges. Thanks to its meticulousness it manages finances excellently - it can find money where others see none.

It does well in professions that require precision, public speaking and organisation. It can be an excellent surgeon, accountant, journalist, press spokesperson or restaurant owner. Its attention to detail means it rarely makes mistakes, and bosses value it for its reliability. Although it likes to spend money on luxury clothes and gadgets, it always has savings put aside for a rainy day.
