According to Chinese folklore, each animal is associated with certain personality traits. The Rooster is the tenth Sign of the Chinese Zodiac. It is a Yin Sign associated with the Metal Element. Recent Rooster years have been 1957, 1969, 1981 and 1993. The next Rooster year will be in 2005. Roosters are highly flamboyant people, and their appearance is very important to them -- they are never satisfied with how they look. They are friendly, pleasant and obliging people, who can prove themselves to be as resourceful and talented as they say they are in moments of crisis. Roosters have the ability to take life as it comes, and indeed may appear a bit too relaxed for the nerves of their intimates. They are fiercely independent, and rely solely upon themselves in all questions of support and effectiveness. The female Rooster is not a malicious sort. In fact, you are quite popular with people due to your inordinate friendliness and generosity, often towards total strangers. You are lacking in tact, as you are a very honest person and have yet to master the art of the "white lie." You appear to be a frivolous social butterfly, but deep down inside you harbor secret passions that do not admit of easy expression. You apply yourself to each separate task as though there were nothing else in the world at that time. You can be very jealous of the unwarranted success of others, even of good friends, but this streak in you is kept carefully under wraps, as you don't like to offend anyone with what you perceive as your infirmities. The male Rooster, true to the label, is constantly engaged in trumpeting his own worth to the world. You crave recognition for what to you is the perfect personality. You are entertaining, witty and charming, and have no problems winning friends and influencing people. You prefer the company of the opposite sex, and will be jealous of any rivals, even in the social sense. You are not very good at saving money, and prefer to spend it on processes and things that tend to enhance your appearance in the eyes of the public that you like to imagine that you have. You have a very good memory for interesting incidents, and can transform them into riveting yarns when the mood strikes you and others are present to hear you spin your tales. ¡¡ · 1.56" in diameter, 2.5mm in thick. · Encapsulated in clear plastic case for perfect protection |
