Rooster
鸡 · Jī
The Rooster is the critic and the craftsman. Rooster years favor people who notice what is out of place and feel responsible for fixing it.
Rooster Personality
- Precise
- Observant
- Forthright
- Organized
- Proud
Roosters like things done properly. They have opinions, style, and a sharp eye. At their best they raise the standard of a team. At their worst they correct people who did not ask to be corrected.
Strengths
- Standards
- Attention to detail
- Clear communication
Weaknesses
- Criticism
- Perfectionism

Love
They show care by improving the shared life — schedules, homes, plans. A partner who hears only the criticism will miss the devotion underneath. Soften the delivery and this sign is deeply loyal.
Career
Editing, analysis, finance, fashion, quality control, medicine, and operations reward the Rooster. Vague goals with no feedback loop waste them.
