The Metal Rooster
π Metal element Β· Yin polarity
Roosters are organized, punctual, and honest to the point of bluntness. They notice detail others miss and take pride in doing a job well. The Metal Rooster takes that base and runs it through the Metal element, which is determined, disciplined and self-reliant.
Metal is the element of autumn, structure and resolve. A Metal year sharpens focus and independence: a Metal animal knows what it wants and pursues it directly, sometimes at the cost of flexibility. In the Rooster, Metal sharpens and hardens the sign's observant and hardworking nature, producing the most exacting and self-reliant kind of Rooster. Where a typical Rooster might be critical, the Metal version leans toward holding back and thinking first.
