Prospects for the Rooster in 2017
The Year of the Monkey (8 February 2016–27 January 2017) will not have been the easiest for the Rooster. Being methodical and liking, to plan his activities. He could have found situations in the Monkey year exasperating and sometimes seen in an uncharacteristic quandary over certain decisions. The pressures are not set up to ease in the closing quarter of the year and he will continue to face numerous demands.At work many Roosters would prefer to concentrate on their existing duties but could have additional tasks to deal with, perhaps through staff shortages or new objectives being set. Quite a few Roosters will despair over what is happening. However, what occurs can give the Rooster the chance to add to his skills, learn more about his industry and is in contact with other colleagues, and his performance in often difficult situations can enhance his reputation. September and December could see potentially important developments.
In the closing months of the year being a traditionally expensive time, the Rooster should pay close attention on his spending and make early provision for large purchases and any gifts he has planned.
His home life will see much activity at this time and there may have to be compromises over certain arrangements. The more that can be agreed upon in advance, the better. Equipment breakages or delays in the delivery of certain items may be inconvenient and the Rooster may have to sort out several problems. However, amid all the activity there will be some lively and agreeable occasions and travel opportunities to look forward to, especially as 2016 draws to a close.
The Rooster will be eager to celebrate the start of his own year and with good reason. With his personal sign ruling, he will feel more in charge of his own destiny and better able to make progress in the way he wants. And with a disciplined approach, he can make significant gains.
For any Rooster who has felt held back in recent years and disappointed with his progress, this is a time to focus on the present and regard this year as the start of a new chapter in his life. If he has plans and objectives in mind, now is now time to set them in motion. As Virgil noted, ‘Fortune favours the bold.’ In the Rooster’s own year, which begins on 28 January, fortune will favour the bold and enterprising.
In his work, this can be a time of decision-making. For Roosters who are discontented in their present role or have been in the same position for some time and are feeling staid, this is a huge time to review other options. As they realize, it rests with them to bring the changes they want, and by exploring possibilities they may succeed in finding an ideal challenge. For some, this could involve a change of commuting or location, but they will often be buoyed up by being in a modern working environment and being given the opportunity for professional growth.
Similarly, Roosters seeking work should put past frustrations behind them and actively follow up any openings that interest them. They know they have a lot to offer and many will be given an opportunity they can build on. Often what they are offered will be different from what they had done before and will require some adjustment, but it will give them the chance to train different ways.
For Roosters following a particular career, again this is a year of development. Having proved themselves in some often demanding situations, many will now secure promotion and progress their career.

This is also applicable to his personal interests. If there are activities the Rooster would like to pursue or projects he wishes to carry out, he should act. ‘There is no time like the present’ and inspired Rooster can get enormous pleasure from what he states in his own year.
Progress made at work will increase the income of many Roosters, but care is still needed in financial matters. During the year, Rooster may well be tempted by huge purchases, including equipment and appliances. Rather than rushing these, he is needed to allow time to see what best meets his needs and his budget. Some Roosters are spendthrift and discipline is advised. Also, with Rooster being one who wants to look ahead, if he is in a position to start a savings plan or add to a pension policy, this could be something he is grateful for in years to come. Rooster years reward sound fiscal management.
With his busy lifestyle the Rooster should aim to take a holiday this year, and if a specified destination appeals to him, he should make enquiries. Trips booked early on in the year can have to look forward to later on.

Affirmative action can bring sparkle and distinctive meaning to their year. March, May, August and October could see the most shared activity.
Roosters who find love could, however, find it helpful to let their romance blossom over time rather than rush. This way each will get to know the other better. Rooster’s specific year is capable of bringing him considerable personal happiness.
His home life can also be rewarding, with the Rooster himself often playing a vital role. He will have ideas concerning improvements and domestic arrangements, and by planning these out, will ensure that a lot happens over the year. And when those in his household are facing work changes or other pressures, his attentiveness and matter-of-fact approaches (he speaks openly and honestly) will assist in many a situation.

Whether advancing his work position or his interests or taking up, something new, Rooster should make the best use of his year.
