How the Rooster operates

You have standards and you apply them to yourself first. Quality, order, detail — you make things correct. Your directness is a gift people thank you for later and flinch at in the moment; timing is your lever.

In love

You are loyal and practical, and you show love through improvement — which can land as criticism. Lead with appreciation twice as often as with correction.

At work

Anywhere accuracy matters: operations, finance, quality, craft. You are the reason things don't fall apart. Ask for authority to match the responsibility.

The hard truth

Being right is cheap. Being right in a way people can hear is the skill.

Strengths

✓ Unusual attention to detail
✓ Honest
✓ Very high work standard

Work: Define what is good enough to publish or hand over.
Watch for: Perfecting something no one asked you to perfect.
