Flirty, flamboyant and colourful, you tell it like it is and expect it the way you like it. With high expectations of yourself and of others, some find you hyper-critical and insensitive when you are genuinely trying to help. Not everybody is capable of adopting your work ethic. Vain and talkative, roosters have a reputation for being self-obsessed. Once again, misunderstood, this is one of the most sensitive signs, you wear a heavy mask to protect your ego from scrutiny, so in order to project confidence you talk, and talk and talk. Efficient, alert and effective, you can be highly organised and your mind is like a dictionary.

Suitable careers: anything requiring detailed, specific knowledge, quirky art designers, medicine, science, accountants, beauticians.

Your Fortunes in 2008
Energetic fast-paced and arduous, 2008 is going to be a year you will remember. Money may not be as available as it has been recently and you may find yourself reluctantly dipping into savings. Plan for any expected purchases and exercise prudence where money matters are concerned. Although nobody would dispute how capable you are, even you have your limits so be careful not to take on more than you can handle. Work may be exceptionally stressful and situations may put you on the defensive. Carefully select your words when dealing with influential people as making the right impression could be beneficial later. That being said, do not overly concern yourself with appearances. Minor illnesses are sighted so give yourself the time and space you need to recuperate. Surround yourself with positive people who make you laugh and feel light as 2008 may be challenging but with your rooster resilience, nothing is going to stop you finding success.

Your fortunes in 2007
The end of last year may have seen large changes in your personal circumstances, a fresh start which although on the surface has created lots of new opportunities, you feel like you aren’t really moving at all. This may be further exasperated by bad advice you may get from friends or family who are going by the information you have given them, not the entire story. Also, although secretly you love activity and being busy, this year may see you so busy that you’ll want to yell “Stop!” Not that you can’t handle it, but love or family life may be affected by your missing involvement. You are not alone although you feel it. Look around you, you are loved and everyone is stood there with their hearts open.
