The Rooster sign carries the Yin Metal energy. It is pure Yin Metal: sharp, shiny, beautiful like a gold hairpin. If Yang Metal is like an axe, Yin Metal is like a dagger or a keris: small, intricate, can be mistaken for a mere item for display — but it can still kill.
The Rooster is also one of the four Peach Blossom or Plum Flower signs of the Chinese zodiac – the four signs of irresistibility. The Rooster is glittering and alluring. However, similar to the Horse, this power of attraction comes with a price: the Rooster suffers from Self Penalty, it does not get along well with other Roosters. This stems from her main weakness: vanity. This vanity is not necessarily related to her looks; it can also be related to her work or her creation. The Rooster needs to world to see her, to assure her that she is top bird – the most attractive, or the brightest, or the best at work – and there is only place for one top bird on the Rooster’s stage. Deep inside, what the Rooster really craves is validation.
2023, the Year of the Water Rabbit, was difficult for the Rooster. She was obstructed and drained, and most of her shines was lost through the drudgery of the year. This changes in 2024, as the Dragon is the Rooster’s natural ally: when they meet, they generate Metal energy. This strengthens the Rooster but exhausts the Dragon – but the Dragon is naturally drawn to support the Rooster. So this year, the Rooster might hold the key to tame the year’s energy. Use this power wisely.
The 2024 also brings supportive energy for her wealth, with the Wood stem of the Wood Dragon year indicating work opportunities. Her status as the Dragon bestie also means that new friendship and relationship opportunities are plentiful. However, there is a risk that her need for bling may lead to overspending and bad romantic decision.
If the Rooster can learn to be more self-aware and to rein her vanity, she can use her natural power this year to prosper in both her career, wealth and relationship. Rooster, 2024 is a promising and supportive year for you; put away your mirror and step out into the world.
