It is the Year of the Pig. As I was looking at my year this came out- about the Year of the Cock…

Loyal and trustworthy, people born in the Year of the Rooster are sociable, very accomplished and usually very well-dressed.

Shrewd and daring, they are outspoken and even boastful by nature. Most annoyingly - Roosters always think they are right … and very often they are!

Sharp and analytical, Roosters are generally deep thinkers and it is a rare occasion when something gets by them. Though abundantly practical, Roosters are also big dreamers. They are courageous by nature and know how to get what they want. If thwarted in attaining a big ambition they can become moody and downcast. However, they usually recover from a loss quickly. Roosters are rarely still for any length of time and must always be busy doing something.

Shy and conservative at heart, Roosters are can be overly concerned with their appearance and often buy the most stylish of clothes. They love to entertain, and a party hosted by them is almost sure to be the most memorable and extravagant of any.

Roosters are noted for doing anything in their power to keep friends and loved ones happy, and are disappointed if they fail. For their sincere and straighforward care and concern, Roosters are usually much loved and respected by all who know them.

Successful in any field they may choose, Roosters usually do well as publicists, entertainers or restauranteurs.

And for my loved one, who is the Year of the Dragon:

Seemingly born under a lucky star, the dragon is the most vital and powerful of any in the Chinese zodiac, although with an infamous reputation for being a hothead - and possessing a sharp tongue!

At any social gathering, you know a Dragon has entered the room as the air starts to tingle with the energy they exhude. Enthusiastic, and confident sometimes to the point of swaggering, Dragon people inspire confidence in others with their honesty and quick wit.

Natural “movers and shakers”, Dragons can sometimes be overbearing to lesser mortals who do not share the their natural self-perception as absolute rulers of all they survey. However, their great popularity stems from a soft and sensitive heart, which the Dragon only reveals to trusted friends and loved ones who delight in their tender concern.

Not shy in the least about going after what they want, Dragons can be their own worst enemies - aggressive to the point of tyrannical, and may be heard running off at the mouth without thinking.

However, after having made a foolhardy decision, Dragon people often recover quickly and admirably continue on to follow their hearts’ desire with dauntless determination. Gifted with innate courage, tenacity and intelligence, those born under this sign are most often a shining success at whatever field they choose.
