Year of the Rooster · The Sharp Perfectionist

Portrait of the Rooster

The Rooster greets the dawn, and you greet every task the same way: punctual, prepared and impeccably organized. You are observant, hardworking and honest, sometimes so honest that people need a moment to recover.

You have high standards for yourself and a strong sense of style, and you take pride in doing things properly. Beneath the confident crow is someone who deeply wants to be useful and to be recognized for the effort.
