Chinese Zodiac
The Rooster

The tenth sign in the Eastern zodiac is the spirited Rooster. Never ones to fade into the background, Rooster natives tend to make a powerful first impression, freighted with vigor and panache. Yet it is a mistake to underestimate what lies beneath their stylish exterior. The Rooster is one of astrology's true powerhouses, capable of extraordinary efforts in pursuit of their chosen goals. Indeed, Rooster souls are not only tireless in their work, they also display a keen intuition for group dynamics. In their element in social settings, there is something magical about the way the Rooster can capture the fashions of the moment, while simultaneously initiating the fashions of the future. Naturally, these talents come at a price. Rooster natives are prone to arrogance and self-absorption, and it can feel as if the only voice they want to hear is their own. In suitably resilient company, however, this sign is a true marvel, destined to attract profound and well-justified admiration.

In the middle ground, with plenty of potential but some reticence, are signs from the Trine Families that the Rooster does not share a direct connection with. These include the Horse and Tiger, and the Pig and Sheep. The Chinese zodiac makes some harsh judgements about unfavorable energy connections. For the Rooster, these are their Opposition sign, the Rabbit, and their Adversary, the Dog.
