Year of the Rooster
 
The optimism of the Monkey year overlaps the year of the Rooster, but the Rooster tends to be overconfident and is prone to come up with nonsensical plans. While the colorful Rooster brings bright and happy days, he also dissipates energy. Better stick to pratical and well-proven paths. Forget about that controversial best seller you were going to write. No get rich quick schemes this year, please!"

The Rooster Personality 
  
People born in the year of the rooster usually are good looking and like to show themselves off. Instead of being idle, they always appear to be decent and shrewd in public, even the most timid one of them.

Gossips and more sensible observers (good at watching other people's expressions and weighing their words carefully) are two typical kinds of people born in the year of the rooster, both of whom are difficult to get along with.

 
Chinese Zodiac Compatibility - Rooster
 
It is interesting that they can get along well with people born in the year of the snake, because their sanguineness and undaunt-edness and the latter's shrewdness and slipperiness complement each other. People born in the year of the ox also welcome their liveliness because it animates their dull lives, and those born in the year of the dragon like to learn from their far-sighted ambition.
They can also make good friends with the people born in the year of the tiger, sheep, monkey or pig. But there may be fights with others born in the year of the rooster and people born in the year of the mouse. It is difficult for them to have close relations with people born in the year of the rabbit, for their contentiousness will often violate the latter, though they are usually kind-hearted and concessive. Their relationship with people born in the year of the dog is changeable. When their views are identical, they will become close friends, otherwise, they will regard each other as strangers. When necessary, they can cooperate with each other. But if there is a marriage between them, it is doomed to failure.

 
The Rooster Child
 
As a child the Rooster-born will be a self-starter. A good student, fast learner and industrious little soul, he or she will be forever poking around for answers. You can rely on him to pursue his studies, or anything else that attracts him, with self-generated zeal. It will be a joy to teach him, as he is sharp, intelligent and precise. He will have all the tendencies of a bookworm.

The Rooster child will be neat and orderly. He will do things in the proper sequence and is a creature of meticulous and exacting habits that will sometimes really annoy you. He won't be reticent about his opinions either--more of a wise guy around the house. Tough and well-disciplined, he will save the most pocket money among the children. He could be petty about minute discrepancies and will plan the simplest routine with military precision.
