I wrote something in regards to Chinese horoscopes and how it affects luck and your elements. Having a few discussions with people recently about age gaps in relationships, it was kind of raised again.
I then dug around on google and came across this page on the SG forum.
It is more in detail and it gave some very interesting things ^_^
Taken from the forum:
METAL ROOSTER
Feb 8, 1921 to Jan 27, 1922
Feb 5, 1981 to Jan 24, 1982
Sometimes this one walks around with its head in the cumulus clouds, higher than the stars. You see, this rooster struts around with peacock feathers and they never ever ruffle. So much arrogance can make it hard to get along with others, especially when the Rooster is also intolerant of those who are less talented and a bit slower than normal. On the other hand, the Metal Rooster is extraordinarily talented. Of all twelve Zodiac signs, this one is probably the most high-minded of them all, with a very clean line of thought. The Metal Roosters can distinguish right from wrong very clearly and it doesn't matter which direction they pursue, they always wind up going the right way. If they confront a maze, or big problem, they will immediately see a solution because of their analytical, logical way of thinking. Through their perseverance, any hurricane becomes an orderly thing of beauty, just like that! When it's time for romance, the male Metal Rooster has no trouble at all, love just abounds; the female has a tendency to keep to herself, making connections less freely, but lastingly when they happen.
ROOSTER
Roosters are conservatives at heart. With roosters, what you see is exactly what you get. There are no hidden depths to the rooster's character. A rooster is not a complicated or profound character but rather a very forthright and straightforward person.
Nevertheless, roosters are sociable animals and love to receive attention. They make great hosts and adore entertaining. Enjoying being noticed and flattered, roosters sometimes dress a bit flashy to gain the attention of others.
Roosters strive to be attractive and are always beautifully turned out. All roosters are extremely conscious about their clothing and appearance. Even when they dress conservatively they are obsessed with their looks - they can spend hours standing in front of mirrors and will not bat an eye at spending $500 for a dress. However, that doesn't mean they don't care about money for in fact they live for sales, love to compare prices, and even if the bargain is only a few cents or a few dollars cheaper, they will be satisfied.
Precise and accurate observers, roosters have a very keen "sixth-sense". It is not an easy task to fool the rooster. His mind is cautious and skeptical. With the gift of perception, roosters make excellent troubleshooters, detectives, doctors, nurses and psychiatrists. Roosters are always up, out, and doing. You rarely see a relaxed rooster that sits quietly in the living room, doing nothing. Multitalented, roosters can become accomplished in many different ways.
Though sharp, practical, and resourceful, a rooster also likes to dream. And because he likes to dream, he will often disappoint his loved ones, for reality seldom matches up to the dreams he promises despite his sincere belief that they will come true. The main virtue in the rooster character is loyalty: they make devoted friends. When roosters love and admire someone, they will even try to catch the moon just to keep them happy.

Hmm.
Interesting stuff eh.. ^_^
Heh... very interesting... I'd forgotten that I'm a wood rat. And I found this about the wood people very funny:
ReplyDelete"Like the rings of a tree circle out and expand through the years, so too do those born under the Chinese Astrology Element of Wood. You Wood personalities seek chances for growth and for renewal in all you do, 'branching out' (excuse the pun!) whenever possible. Your open, expansive mind makes you a compassionate and generous friend, colleague and ally. You understand the inherent value of what you and those around you possess, and your confidence allows you to act upon your beliefs.
While your strength forms the backbone of any social group or partnership you're a part of, you could have a tendency to be a bit too systematic in your thinking, and sometimes your passivity allows others to overwhelm and inhibit you. Don't let yourself be lost in a vast forest, an anonymous tree among millions of others. Make your mark on the world -- you're especially adept at business ventures.
Open-minded Wood Signs are willing to explore all the possibilities!"
LOL.... :)
