The Rooster Zodiac Sign in Chinese Astrology

Among the animal signs in Chinese astrology, the Rooster is not the easiest type to understand and much less get along with. And yet this complex personality has traits that can go to make the most loyal companion, expert employee as well as worthy human beings.

The Rooster is known for their pursuit of perfectionism. There is nothing shoddy or half-hearted about what they do and they firmly believe in the maxim that what is worth doing is worth doing well. Thus a Rooster can often be exacting and uncompromising in his/her high standards and this can be differently expressed in different aspects of their lives. When turned on themselves, the fastidious nature of the Rooster is manifest in their stylish and well-groomed personality. They are quite particular about what they wear and how they turn out in public. Likewise they are finicky about neatness and their homes are most likely to be tidy and shiny as a new pin. However this is not simply about being obsessive or compulsive, rather their concern with cleanliness and their habit of always arranging or re-arranging things is a direct expression of a personality which holds order and structure in high value.

Then again when directed outward the orderly mind of the Rooster finds expression in basic honesty and a desire to arrange the lives of others. Thus the Rooster may be prone to handing out advice even to those who are less welcoming of it; at its extreme, the Rooster will not shy away from passing criticism or judgment on the abilities and actions of others. The fact is that the Rooster is not only strives to live his/her own high standards but is often applies them to others as well and this makes the Rooster rather unpopular at times. Having said that, it needs to be emphasized that this critical streak in a Rooster is never for selfish reasons – it is most often motivated by a genuine concern for others and a sincere desire to help others be the best they can.

Despite their inward and fussy nature, the Rooster is realistic and practical. While a male Rooster may not write volumes of poetry praising his girlfriends’ eyes, he will make sure that she has the most comfortable rooms in their vacation suite with exactly the right view of the ocean. Likewise a female Rooster may not be the most imaginative Mom around, but she will ensure that her kids are fed nutritious diet and their school projects are ready way before the submission date. This is because the Rooster is down to earth and is interested in those actions that end in tangible results.

However what saves the Rooster from being boring and pedantic is that they are genuinely caring about others. One of the chief delights of this character is to be of real help to someone in need and the Rooster will often go out of his/her way to assist people who they may not even know personally.

The aptitude to help others and a keen practical mind makes the Rooster ideal for professions like nursing, healthcare, politics, economics and the like. This is because the Rooster is a thinker but mainly along logical lines. So if there is a shelter for the homeless children to be constructed or funds to be raised for an environmental cause, the Rooster can be trusted to come up with solutions that are practical and capable of being implemented on the ground.

Then again the fastidious nature of Rooster makes them suitable for careers where an attention to detail, a logical mind and close scrutiny are highly valued. Thus if someone is looking for an efficient secretary, a keen mathematician, an astute accountant or capable office supervisor, they would do well to shortlist the CVs of Roosters. At the same time though, the fastidious Rooster needs clean, orderly work environment and will not be happy in jobs which regularly pit them in dirty or unsavory surroundings. Above all in order to deliver their best, the Rooster should be told at the very beginning what is expected of them and what the end result should be and then left to themselves to plan and execute their progress. Constant hectoring and interfering will only upset the Rooster since this is someone who likes to be in charge, if not of the entire project, at least of his/her own little operation.

Owing to their desire for perfectionism and their fastidious natures, the Rooster is a born worrier. So as far as their health is concerned, this personality is prone to conditions which have nervous-based origins, like asthma among others. For the same tendency to worry, the Rooster figures more often than others in the ranks of hypochondriacs. They are also big eaters and may need to watch their diet especially later in life. A well-balanced lifestyle along with consciously reducing stress could be beneficial for Roosters. They are particularly fond of Nature and a life amidst the calm rolling countryside could be just what the doctor ordered for this character type.

As far as personal relationships are concerned, the Rooster has the potential to be an extremely pleasing or an extremely trying partner. The desire to be of help and attention to detail means that the Rooster is best equipped to keep and manage a well-run and beautiful home. His/her partner can not only look forward to domestic comforts but more importantly be assured of the fact that the budget and finances are taken care of. However at times the fussy and clucking nature of the Rooster may be too infuriating, especially for partners who like to be left alone in their own little mess. More than that, the constant feedback from a Rooster including advice on how to manage money, what car to buy and what to eat for breakfast could be somewhat trying to those living with them. And yet Roosters make one of the most committed and faithful partners.

Even though they would like to manage their loved ones’ lives every now and then, they have their family’s best intentions at heart and can be trusted to stand by them through thick and thin.
