Happy Year of the Rooster!

新年快乐!This year is the year of the rooster.  The zodiac works on a yearly cycle, and repeats itself every twelve years.  In the sequence, a rooster year comes after a monkey year and before a dog year.  Previous rooster years have been 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, and 2005.  Some of the world’s most famous roosters are Britney Spears, Jennifer Aniston, Bob Marley, and Jennifer Lopez.  Roosters are typically social, active, and popular because they are are loyal and devoted friends who are good at keeping secrets.  People born in the year of the rooster are said to be healthy and fight off illness well.  The predictions for this year are not too bright; they should try hard to work and make money and take precautions with their health.  All hope is not lost though, because the rooster’s romantic fortune will improve.

    It’s interesting to hear that each year has a different meaning when it comes to animals. I wasn’t born on the year of the rooster but I am still healthy.

    I definitely agree with the personality traits of the Year of the Rooster, and the types of people perfectly match this description. For example, my brother’s girlfriend was also born in the year of the Rooster, and she is very outgoing, energetic and she has never been sick or travelled to a hospital in all of the eight years I have known her. It is so interesting how the personalities of all these individuals described are intertwined in may ways, ranging from activity level, and secrecy. Thank you for sharing!
