Year of the Rooster鸡 (Jī) · Sign #10 of 12 · yin

Rooster-born are the natural perfectionists of the zodiac. They notice details others miss, organise systems others can't follow, and produce work at quality levels that set standards. Many surgeons, choreographers, accountants, designers, and high-performers are Rooster-born.

They're confident in their abilities (sometimes coming across as proud) and value direct, honest communication. They don't tolerate sloppy work in themselves or others. Their feedback is precise — useful when you want to improve, painful if you weren't ready.

The Rooster's shadow is criticism that overshoots. Their high standards can make partners and colleagues feel constantly evaluated. They benefit from learning when to deploy their precision (in work) vs. when to switch it off (in relationships, in mistakes that don't matter).
