Year of the Rooster
People born in the Year of the Rooster are often described as conscientious, punctual and organised; when you commit, you come well prepared. You have a sharp eye that spots problems in the details, and you care about how you present yourself. The sticking point is being hard to please, with others and with yourself. Naming what went well before pointing out what to change helps your advice land.
Love
In love you are dependable and thoughtful, and you build your partner into your plans. Correcting a little less and praising a little more makes your partner want to come closer.
Work
At work you suit quality control, finance, administration, editing and other precise work, and what you handle rarely goes wrong. Now and then, letting a good-enough version go out first makes both the schedule and your mood much lighter.
