The Rooster is the strutting
peacock of the Chinese Zodiac! These quick thinkers are practical and
resourceful, preferring to stick to what is tried and true rather than
taking messy, unnecessary risks. Roosters are keenly observant. It's
hard to slip anything past a Rooster, since they seem to have eyes in
the backs of their heads! This quality can lead others to think the
Rooster is psychic, but that's not generally the case; instead, this
Sign enjoys a keen attention to detail that makes it a whiz at anything
requiring close analysis. Roosters make great lawyers, brain surgeons
and accountants, to name a few of this Sign's possible occupations.
Above all else, the Rooster is very straightforward and rewards others'
honesty in kind.Roosters aren't shifty or cagey and have no interest
in hiding behind a facade. They are the proverbial open book, telling
the truth and keeping their word. If you show your hand, the Rooster
will respect you for it. This kind of trusting behavior can tempt
tricksters to pull a fast one on the Rooster, but that would be a bad
move! Remember, this Sign doesn't indulge in flights of fancy and keeps
those eyes wide open at all times.
Roosters tend to be perfectionists and expect to be in control,
especially over their appearance. Primping and posing for the Rooster
can go on forever! Being noticed and admired is an aphrodisiac for
Roosters, and they can go a long time on a few kind words. Roosters also
adore being out on the town, especially if they're in the company of
adoring friends. The Rooster will also be the best-dressed one of the
bunch -- style counts with this Sign, regardless of the cost.
Roosters also expect to be in control of their surroundings,
including whoever happens to be in those surroundings. Roosters keep an
impeccably neat house and expect their lovers, housemates and family
members to maintain the same high standards of dress and conduct as they
do. This can cause problems with other, more relaxed types who just want
to be accepted as is. The Rooster needs the right partner, one who
understands this Sign's basically conservative nature. With the right
person, the Rooster can be the most loyal, trusting and supportive mate
around, one who bends over backward to please its loved ones. Some Signs
may just end up feeling hen-pecked, however.
Roosters need to learn to value their heart and soul as much as their
good looks. Their excellent people skills and sharp minds are qualities
that others will appreciate as much as a pretty face. This Sign would
also do well to learn to adopt the philosophy of "live and let live";
perhaps an appeal to the Rooster's logic -- that it's inefficient to
waste time nagging others -- will help this Sign learn to let others be
whomever and however they are.
The most compatible match for a Rooster is the
Ox or the Snake.
