Information taken from The 7th Planet

ROOSTER

AUTUMN is your season.
SEPTEMBER is your month.

Personality:
Your bright red comb frightens bad spirits away in Chinese tradition. Protected from them, you don't hesitate parading around ostentatiously in public. Hungry for honors and medals, you love to be recognized for your talents at their just value and to be congratulated in all circumstances. Spiteful people who criticize you quickly get clawed because you hate being criticized. Your best quality is your frankness. You always say what you think even at the risk of hurting those close to you. Yet you always hide your real feelings out of an extreme sense of propriety because you can't stand people meddling in your affairs. In public, you are a true Rooster: an extravagant dandy who is curious about everything, you strut down the street - a smooth talker who loves to be the center of attention. Appearances are more important to you than what's inside. If people don't look at you, you get depressed. You will happily spend hours before the mirror to admire your wonderful, flamboyant feathers. But your attention to detail and perfectionist nature sometimes make you forget the essential. A loyal and courageous friend, you don't hesitate attacking if you need to defend them, even if the battle seems lost in advance. You respect the rules whatever happens because you are a real conformist. Your fault: You are somewhat narcissistic and pedantic.

Work:
You have your feet on ground and your head in the accounts! An expert planner and master of beautiful discourses, you excel at organizing and directing the work of others on a well-outlined path. You use tested methods rather than trying to initiate new ones, but methods as old as the world allow you to make money easily. You know your work and how to take measured risks. Risky undertakings make you "sick". Although your obsessive perfectionism tends to slow you down, it also helps you to avoid certain traps. When you have succeeded in a mission, your superiors would be well advised to show their appreciation. Honors and recognition motivate you like the devil!

Money:
Your qualities as a manager help you to invest wisely and you often save the ante as well; you back down before no expense to shine in the eyes of society: sumptuous dinners, dressing to the nines, the hottest cars, showy jewelry, etc. Those close to you have to keep up the pace and style, which makes you look generous in their eyes. In fact, only your friends profit: you are generous only because you care about how you look in the eyes of society; you are very stingy with those you do not know and keep a rigorous account of expenses, stopping yourself before you go into the red.

Love:
As a conformist, you prefer stability to adventure and simple sentiments to passionate ones. But living with you can be trying because you don't hesitate commenting on the pimple your partner has on their nose or the ugly bulge around their waist while you yourself, accept no criticism. You are incorrigibly jealous and tolerate no rival. If your partner has the misfortune to look elsewhere you quickly become aggressive. To seduce you, your partner must find you irresistible, take care of your every need, be understanding, and have a taste for social life.

The Rooster in the year of the Horse: the Rooster needs diplomacy!
The organized Rooster may find his feathers become rather ruffled in the year of the unpredictable Horse as events fail to go to plan and detail is forgotten. These operating standards may see the Rooster rise to what he sees as a challenge, however the Rooster is not being asked to fight, he is being asked to observe and learn. This task will be made much easier if the Rooster is willing to quiet his know-it-all beak.
The self-assured Horse will trot along oblivious to the frustrations of the Rooster. This in itself will infuriate the cocky Rooster possibly causing an outburst of articulate words from our fine-feathered friend. If the Rooster is wise he will save his energy for more constructive pursuits. In business, compliant effort in difficult times will work favorably for the Rooster, whereas trying to dominate against the odds will only serve to exhaust and baffle him.
Therefore, this is a year where the Rooster must try to work in harmony with the gregarious Horse whilst still pursuing his objectives. In so doing he will learn much about him self and others and add a wealth of valuable knowledge to his already bulging repertoire. A good outlet for his mental energy would be to join a debating group. The Rooster's health and finance should both be placed under a watchful eye and nurtured using only tried and true methods to ensure their blossoming growth.
As already mentioned, the Rooster does need to consider his relationships with care. In so doing he may find his helpful nature being called upon by those in need, with due appreciation as his reward. He will feather his family nest by taking more interest in activities and demonstrating a caring attitude to his partner. Single Roosters may find love affairs are passionate and stormy but may blow over soon after they've begun.
The Horse year is not the most congenial climate for the Rooster to be crowing his call and therefore he must not expect everyone to be happily marching along to it. By observing a caring and accepting attitude he will certainly make his life easier and will emerge with greater wisdom for his efforts.
