Combined Western and Chinese Zodiacs
Virgo Rooster

Sixth in the sequence of the Western zodiac is Virgo, the great problem-solver. This sign is equivalent to the years around age 40, when the frivolities of youth are put aside in favour of a clear system of organization for the future. Virgos are motivated by coordination, logistics, planning. They tend to be extremely goal-oriented. They are brilliant at saving money and managing their calendars, learning new skills, or setting up environments where everything has a place and can be located when needed. As an Earth sign, Virgos usually focus on physical realities rather than abstract matters, although the Mutable quality of Virgo gives them a keenly analytical, reflective side. At times, Virgos may be too rigid in their need for structure, making them appear inflexible, even domineering. They can also see selective disclosure as key to their schemes, which may breed resentment if others feel left in the dark. Most Virgos, however, have little difficulty applying their awesome problem-solving skills with dedication and generosity. Families and businesses with Virgos in their midst are often among the happiest and most successful in the zodiac.

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.
