A buoyant and optimistic year, but also precariously balanced, for the colorful Rooster is prone to nonsensical schemes and to flaunting its authority, which can set off an endless number of petty disputes. People tend to be ostentatious and self-conscious about their image and dissension and debates on all fronts come about as a result of the Rooster's proclivity for argument. There is much loud talk for talk's sake that seems to go nowhere, and people are prone to take offense at the smallest slight. Simple things are made to appear complicated and people find themselves expending maximum effort for minimum return. However, there are no real confrontations or damage done. This is a year to be practical and conservative and refain from speculative ventures, then we will get by without real hardship.

Quixotic and eccentric, the Rooster is the most misunderstood sign. Outwardly colorful and self-assured, they are at heart traditional and conservative. They Rooster-born, strut about with preening and dignity and even the shyest of this group can be distinguished by their fine feathres and regal bearing. The are two distrinct types of Rooster: those who are extremly talkative and those who are solemn, withdrawn and observant. All Roosters are neat, upright, decisive, organized, alert and very direct. They love to argue and debate and can be extremly critical, demonstrating an appalling lack of discretion and little regard for the feelings of others. They can also be compltely blind to their own faults and when criticized by others are unable to take their own medicine.

Adept at expressing themselves in both speech and writing, Roosters love to show how knowledgable they are and recount their adventures and accomplishments. They are very adroit at handling money and a re natual experts in accounting, budgeting and organization. If owed money, Roosters will collect. Roosters are masters of efficiency who love taking on difficult assignments and demonstrating their expertise. All Roosters are perfectionists and tireless workers. They have a keen eye for detail but are also prone to intellectual or theoretical flights of fancy that make their ideas simply inapplicable in any real or human terms. Their dreams are often far-fetched and overambitious and as a result they are bound to experience many disappointments in life. They must learn to come down to earth and realize that it is not their cock-crow that makes the sun rise. They are however, extremly brave and dauntless under duress, sincere in their desire to help others and generally well-meaning in their endeavors.
