In traditional Chinese culture, the energy of the Rooster is glamorous with an eye for detail. She appreciates an argument and likes to win, but has little patience for causes that drag on. This is a great month to make changes, which may until now have suffered delays. The instant you place mental focus on whatever you say or do, you will feel the power of it growing. The mind is like a laser beam: it empowers concentrated energy of thought.

Born with a sense of justice, the Rooster values equality and advocates for those who may find difficulty in speaking up for themselves with conviction and clarity. They have honest and passionate natures, which can be both an asset and a hindrance. Roosters may sometimes be blunt and argumentative, but if you have one on your side you can count on coming out on top.
