The Rooster, as told in legends, originated from the many starts that fell onto Earth. People sing praises about it, as it is believed to possess the five virtues - proficiency in the arts (as represented by its crown), dexterity in sporting activities (the claws of its feet), courage (it would not hesitate to fight its enemy), benevolence (sharing food with others), and trustworthiness (crowing at daybreak without fail).

People born under this sign usually have good foresight and are perceptive. Their prediction of the future is uncannily accurate. However, impatience and worrying unnecessarily are their biggest drawbacks. They love to dress up and have a preference for flamboyant clothes. Praises and compliments from others are very important to them, but given their strong sense of pride, they do not take too well to criticisms. They show enthusiasm in the things they do, and will not tolerate sloppiness. As a result, they give others the impression that they are eccentric and nag too much.
