Rooster

Precise, industrious, and clear about the standard.

Element: Metal
Birth Years: 1945 · 1957 · 1969 · 1981 · 1993 · 2005 · 2017 · 2029

Character

You do not put off what has to be done and you keep to the time. Nothing in the detail escapes you, which earns trust in roles that need managing and checking, and your own standard is definite enough that vagueness irritates you.

Strengths

Diligence, thoroughness, time-keeping. Hand it over and nobody needs to check.

What to Watch

A high standard easily becomes strictness toward others. Frequent correction wears a relationship out.

Compatibility

Strong with Ox and Snake, harmonious with Dragon. Friction with Rabbit, the opposing branch.

Advice

This is not a call to lower your standard — only the one you apply to other people, by a single notch.
