Combined Western and Chinese Zodiacs
Capricorn Rooster

Capricorns embody the autumnal period, around the mid- to late-sixties of a human lifetime. They tend to have an ingrained faith in their own abilities, as if they were born already blessed with great life experience. They are grounded by their element of Earth: diligent, patient, and adept at conserving resources to further their significant ambitions. Above all, Capricorns are masterful at exercising control, at understanding and wielding power. The challenges they face tend to arise from an innate pessimism, an impression that time is running out for them to capitalize on their abundant skills.

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.
