The Wood Rooster in Chinese Astrology

In Chinese astrology, the influence of the Wood element is to grant a certain warmth in a sign, making it more generous in nature and open to helping others without any thought of self-interest. When this element is associated with the zodiac sign of Rooster, the result is a personality in whom many of extremities of the Rooster nature are toned down while some positive traits are heightened.

One of the most distinctive traits of the Rooster is a drive towards perfection. This person sincerely believes in the maxim that what is worth doing is worth doing well. There is never anything shoddy or half-hearted about their endeavors and when faced with any responsibility, they will bring all the wealth of their industrious and meticulous natures towards completing it as perfectly as possible. However a consequence of such a meticulous nature is that the Rooster tends to be walk alone in the journey of life. His/her standards are too high for most people to follow and the typical Rooster is not the kind to gloss over human failings, no matter how minor. However the Wood Rooster is better able than others of the hen coop to work as part of a team or group. This Rooster is less individualistic in nature and though he/she is still conscious of the standards to live up to, he/she does not always expect others to subscribe to them. He/she is more social in nature and even in the professional sphere the Wood Rooster’s intelligence and creativity allows him or her to delegate work to suit everyone's strengths. The result is not only a project that is finished earlier and succeeds better but also one which leaves positive vibes in its wake.

Even though the Wood Rooster is more social than most of the other elements, this is not to imply that he/she is no longer capable of their innate honesty. He/she is still a frank character and will definitely offer an opinion without mincing words, when asked to do so. However the difference with the Metal or Fire Rooster is that the Wood Rooster is less outspoken and does not wish to go out of his/her way to offer advice or suggestions that may have a critical basis. This has the double advantage of making the Wood Rooster’s opinions valuable but without him/her appearing to be hurtful to others.

Despite a bent for self-importance, the basic Rooster nature is genuinely caring. 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. When tempered with Wood, the Rooster’s innate aptitude to help others is further amplified so that they can often be found working hard in service-based professions like healthcare or using their organizational talents in aid of charitable institutions or volunteer work. Wood Roosters sincerely want to make the world a better place and they have the talents and confidence to take on big causes.

In the personal sphere, the Wood Rooster carries the sign’s natural affinity for fashion to a higher level. Thus though this Rooster still loves to preen and primp, he/she has a more elegant sense of style. No wonder then despite many of the basic traits of the sign, the Wood Rooster turns out to be an attractive partner and a life-long friend.
