Earth Rooster personality

Roosters are organized, honest and detail-oriented. They take pride in their work and appearance, though they can be critical and blunt.

As a Yin Earth sign, your element adds its own flavor to the Rooster nature. Tradition pairs each animal with one of five elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) in a repeating cycle, so the same animal has five different elemental versions over 60 years.
