The Water Rooster
π Water 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 Water Rooster takes that base and runs it through the Water element, which is adaptable, perceptive and persuasive.
Water is the element of winter, depth and adaptability. A Water year makes an animal more intuitive and persuasive, better at reading people and bending around obstacles rather than confronting them head-on. In the Rooster, Water deepens and adds subtlety to the sign's observant and hardworking nature, producing the most perceptive and adaptable kind of Rooster. Where a typical Rooster might be critical, the Water version leans toward holding back and thinking first.
