The Rooster is nature’s alarm clock and the signal that night has turned to morning.
It’s also the tenth sign in the Chinese Zodiac – and its position in the calendar’s origin story can tell us a lot about its associated traits.
In the Great Race, the Jade Emperor challenges a group of animals with crossing a river. The order in which they made it to the opposite bank would determine their place in the zodiac.
The Rooster’s tenth spot was won through teamwork; the cockerel managed to find a raft, while the Monkey and Goat cleared away weeds and branches and helped steer the trio to shore.
Like their namesake then, Rooster natives are characterised as chatty, social, hardworking and resourceful.
They’re also said to encompass a trademark ‘cock of the walk’ attitude, but can be guilty of vanity or boasting – as well as ruffling feathers with their honesty.
The Chinese zodiac, or shengxiao, splits Dragon signs into five elements; Water, Wood, Metal, Fire and Earth. That means that among Rooster natives you’ll find certain traits more prominent in certain birth years.
For example, the Water Rooster is associated with a compassionate nature, while the Earth Rooster is said to be particularly loyal and close to friends.
Below you’ll find everything you need to know about how 2023 will play out for these loud and proud birds according to Chinese astrology, from what to expect in love to how to bring yourself a little extra luck.

However, if you were born in January, February, or March, you may want to double check your sign using an online calculator.
Rooster horoscope for 2023
2023 is a Year of the Rabbit, and Rooster natives are in for some less than good fortune due to opposition to the age god, Tai Sui.
Simply put, it’s unlikely to be an easy ride according to the Chinese Zodiac. Expect obstacles, ups and downs, and periods of uncertainty in most aspects of life.
That said, by getting through whatever crises come your way, you’ll learn a lot and feel better equipped to deal with life’s challenges.
There’s also the opportunity to improve relationships through putting the work in, and to take better care of your body and mind.
Rooster love horoscope for 2023
In love, Rooster natives are advised to make the effort.
It’s predicted that single Roosters may miss the right person if they close themselves off emotionally, or if they refuse to put themselves out there due to fear or negativity.
Similarly, coupled-up Roosters’ relationships could suffer without work. Those born under the sign should avoid taking work (and its associated headaches) home to their partner, instead spending quality time together and letting the partnership be a refuge.
Difficult conversations may be necessary this year. Don’t shy away from what needs to be said and be prepared to accept the consequences.
Rooster work and money horoscope for 2023
Rooster natives with business ideas or plans to make a big investment, proceed with caution throughout 2023.
In terms of work, it’s not a good time for those born under the sign to change careers or take any major risks. The focus should be on building a solid foundation of skills and learning from mistakes.
According to the Chinese zodiac, Roosters should also take a look at their teamwork. Are there any areas where you could use a hand? Could fresh eyes help you accomplish your goals in a different way?
The theme of taking stock and being careful is big for this sign across the year. Rooster natives are advised to be cautious with investing and financial decisions, and to stick to a budget in case of any unexpected costs.
The Rooster that prepares for emergencies will fare far better than those that don’t, and a positive (yet risk-averse) attitude will also serve you well.
Lucky dates, numbers and talismans for Rooster signs
Lucky days: The 4th and 26th of any Chinese lunar month are said to bring good fortune for Roosters, but the 2nd, 5th, and 11th Chinese lunar months (èryuè, wǔyuè and dōngyuè) are also lucky.
Lucky numbers: The numbers 3, 5, and 8 are considered to be auspicious for Rooster natives, as well as combinations of these digits such as 35 or 83.
Lucky colours: Roosters should wear and decorate their homes with the shades yellow, brown or gold for good luck.
Lucky charms: The flowers gladiola and cockscomb are thought to be lucky charms for those born in a Year of the Rooster.
However, since this isn’t predicted to be a great one for the sign, natives are also advised to use Fu Dogs to protect their Feng Shui.
