The Rooster in Chinese Horoscope. Characteristics and elements

Reading time: 0 min

According to the legend, when Buddha reached enlightenment he invited all the animals to celebrate their joy. Only 12 animals, the Rooster and 11 others, accepted the invitation, and for that they were included, from that moment onwards, in the Chinese zodiac.

How do I know if I’m a Rooster?

As we have indicated before, each animal ‘governs’ a specific year. The years of the Rooster in the Chinese Horoscope are: 1909, 1921 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017… and thus consecutively adding 12 years to the previous figure.

Essentials features of the Rooster

Roosters are exuberant; they know it and they love showing it to others. At the same time they are extroverted and friendly.

In general, they are good communicators, enthusiastic and fun. It is difficult to see a Rooster standing still or silent. Although it might seem that Roosters are very sure of themselves, in fact they are not: they need the constant approval of others to feel good.

Characteristics of the Rooster

Sensitive: those who were born in the year of the Rooster are extremely sensitive and it is very easy to harm them if you know how to do it.

Protectors: they like to take care of those who are close and, although they enjoy their independence, they have a feeling of belonging to their family and friends deeply rooted.

Educated: Rooster natives give great importance to conversation and, therefore, they strive to read and learn new things that can be used later in an event. They are usually intelligent people who do not mind being foolish from time to time if the situation requires it.

Extroverts: In general, the Rooster has the kind of personality that we all want to have close to us in a party: talker, witty and with many interesting stories to tell.
