Born in 1981: the Rooster
A Yin Metal Rooster 🐓
Roosters are organized, punctual, and honest to the point of bluntness. They notice detail others miss and take pride in doing a job well. As a Metal-element year, 1981 adds a determined, disciplined and self-reliant streak to the usual Rooster character.
The 1981 lunar year ran from February 5, 1981 to January 25, 1982. If you were born on or after February 5, 1981 you are a Rooster; if you were born earlier in 1981, you belong to the previous year's sign, the Monkey.
