According to my birthdate, I should be a Rooster. I don't really see those traits in myself, however, after reading the Dog traits, it seems that it's more me...almost to a T. Is there anyway I could be in some sort of "transition" group? Any help would be appreciated. BTW, my birthday is 01/18/82.

I am a Rooster. But most of what you said about Rooster cannot find on me. Especially on the financial side. Ever since I married, I have been worried about money. Until now over age 50 getting worst! My husband left me for other woman and does not provide money to the family. Now, I am really struggling to earn money to support my 3 children amd myself. At this age people plan to "retire" but I start to go out to work to get money!Not only me, I know a few of my friends who are Rooster year also suffer mentally and financially like me!Luckily I am strong, else I will be like some of my friends have depression.

well my ex who I have two children by is/was (I left him finally)abusive physically and mentally, helped with kids in the beginning then faltered altogether, he doesn't even speak with them anymore. No he does not work (but he could have been very successful Musician) he depended on me totally for 19 yrs. No he was not faithful, he cheated constantly.

Comment #20 by elonne on March 19, 2009
THIS COMMENT IS FOR CAROL #6 POSTED FEBRUARY 21, 2009. I understand your hurt, humility and depression. The bottom line is that life does go on. Have you ever heard of what comes around goes around?? this is so so so true, we need to talk! I have been there, may still be there, but I am focused on opening a business myself right now and cant let man problems distract me!! I may have some words of wisdom for you, or better yet you for me, I am actually 39, but have been through it. God is good and he will see us through, we just have to give it all to him and he will work it out!!! let go and let God!! how can we contact each other and talk??
Comment #21 by MICHAEL on March 13, 2009

Comment #22 by Stephanie on March 13, 2009
Yes, am with a Rooster and he is all of this! I just wish it would have mentioned that he likes to listen to bad relationship advise and that when he is stressed he takes it out on his mate, by being angry anytime you try to talk to him with stuff on there minds but i Love him he's a scopio
Comment #23 by Jill on March 05, 2009
My ex husband for sure. Except for the meticulous part, and what can I say? Stubborn! I am divorced for a reason!
Comment #24 by Bonnie on February 27, 2009
I do appreciate this information regarding my personality type...I agree with mostly all of what has been shared,especially the intellectuality,attractiveness,humanitarianisn,needing to be the center of attention as well as frankness,valuing the need to remain organized at all times,and spending money wisely;however,I am hopeful that I will soon become wealthy(monetarily) very soon since I believe that I should have been rich long before now(age:64).
Additionaly, I have many associates,friends from all walks of life yet it has been difficult to acquire/meet the person of my dreams.Could I please receive some assistance on this subject? Thanks!!!
Comment #25 by Carol on February 21, 2009
I am the Rooster to a fault. Loving, caring, My tactless, honest mouth gets me in trouble, but I have learned to be much smoother, but I do say what I believe is true. I am a Sagitarious and love being one. I was 8 mo old and a premie in 12/4/45, wonder I loved, oldest of six, Married a Taurus, stubborn, nom talkative, great sex, but an alcoholic/womanizer, married 42 years and finally I had to divorce him. Still love him and he is with another woman and says he still loves me. Why? why can't he just leave her and come be with me. We are retired and I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him, but he wanted lots of affairs and I am an attractive, intelligent woman, he didn't like my spending money and having nice things, Biggest problem with him and I made money. I pray for him, I crave him, and I really wish he would give it a chance one more time. I have never been so emotionally hurt, ongoing for almost twenty years of the 42. I just miss him, I grew up with him, knew him from 16 on, two wonderful children and a lot of it was a pretty good life. I did a lot in the marriage, cook,clean, build a house,pay bills, help start business and had corporate jobs in a small community and was a real helpmate to him. when I would not put up with the last affair, I was a bitch on wheels, I wish I could have kept my mouth shut and ignored it, but I couldn't. It was to humiliating and his girlfriend loved the game. He still says he loves, me and we might work out someday, I hope it isn't just something he says to make me feel their is hope and a chance. I would really give it my best try, I just wish he could see what he has done to our family. Threw away assets of over a million and now we basically have nothing much. no home for me(he lives with girlfriend who drinks with him and is l6 years younger. I am retired and ill with fibramyalgia/depression/anxiety attacks, not much fun. I wonder how it will all turn out. I am really trying to get on with my life, but I am scared. I will run out of money in about two to three years to cover all my necessay needs and he won't be there for me. I don't know what to do. I pray an answer comes soon. thanks for listening to the tale of the rooster and the horse sag. and taurus.
Comment #26 by crystal on February 18, 2009
I am so much like the rooster I am Cancer the crab and my best is a Scorpio also falls under the rooster but she saves so much better than.I believe that most of this is true except that neither of us needs to be the center of attention. We are beautiful though.

Yes, I also come under this "rooster'''
category. I love to crow in the morning

how grateful I am to have so many challenges each day in order to be 'perfect'. Does that fit me? ----

Comment #38 by Harold on February 04, 2009

category. I accept! Just now, finding out
a lot of things that I never paid any mind whatsoever, I'll keep an eye on the development as my life continues.
Thank you!

Comment #46 by Nancy on December 26, 2008
Suits me to a "T" especially the candor bordering on tactlessness. However, after people get to know me, that seems to be what they appreciate the most!

Oh....the Rooster is so me...
Comment #48 by Yvonne on November 23, 2008
Response to E.T. the answers you seek are not found here, unless someone responds to your comment. I believe this is an area to post comments or concerns you may have about the outline you give. This is also a place to find that your not alone out there with the same ideas or thoughts.
My daughter is the Rooster, and some things apply however others don't. I myself, a monkey ;) http://lema1234.site50.net
Comment #49 by Judy on November 22, 2008
