The Earth Rooster is the most practical, logical and reliable of the Roosters. It has a clear mind and knows how to properly structure plans to carry out projects. 

This element is passionate, ambitious and fiercely competitive. Those born in fire years are often strong and confident, but they can also be impatient. They are able to defy the odds, but sometimes need to keep their ego in check, as their dominant personality is not always welcome. They tend to gravitate toward improvement and innovation. When it comes to career, fire-born individuals show tremendous leadership potential.

The Fire Rooster upholds its values and proclaims its achievements with lots of energy, though it also reveals its nervous tendencies and uncertainties. 

This breed prefers to feel the ground beneath their feet. Those born in wood years have lots of conviction and certainty. They gain material and non-material goods in an ethical manner - their efforts are lucrative but also sustainable. They are open-minded toward development and improvement, and they present their ideas with persuasion and assertion.

The Wood Rooster behaves less rigidly than its Roosters companions. This breed of Rooster is considerable and sociable.

Water is adaptable to change (unlike metal, for example, which shows more resistance). Variability, flexibility and interdependence are core qualities of this element. Water makes for an inquisitive mind that enjoys learning and mental stimulation. Those born in water years are sensitive and communicative, as they have a strong sense of intuition. They tend to have a more passive approach and can sometimes get tired easily.

The Water Rooster is quite intellectual and eloquent. On professional level, it gravitates toward fields related to humanities, art and culture. 

Those who were born in metal years are strong, firm and principled. They stay calm and in control when others are upset, as they are able to handle challenging situations. They are obstinate and ambitious - metal personalities aren't afraid to use their imagination, but they are also very goal-oriented. 

Other types of Roosters are somewhat open-minded toward alternative perspectives, but not the Metal Rooster. They are confident about their opinions estimations, and it is difficult to persuade them otherwise. They appear to be untouchable with their sound logic and wisdom. This type of Rooster is very interested in gaining financial security, but only for its own benefit.
