Ready for a new start? This year is the Year of the Rooster. (The Wood Rooster, to be specific.) According to this article in the Korea Times, the rooster signifies a fresh start. (Who else is crowing at the break of day?) The rooster is the only one of the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac to have wings and is regarded as a messenger connecting heaven and earth. The rooster's five virtues are knowledge, military expertise, courage, benevolence and credibility. Somehow those all sound timely. People born in the year of the Wood Rooster are considered thoughtful, truthful, motivated by dependability, disciplined and selfless.
The Year of the Rooster doesn't actually begin until February 8 or 9, depending on whose information you go by. This site reminds us that the last Wood Rooster year was 1945. So don't be too surprised if we turn out to have some big wake up calls in store.
