5 PM – 7 PM (the Rooster hour — dusk vigil, sharp precision)
The Rooster is the tenth animal — the sign of precision, boldness, and unfiltered truth. Roosters see clearly and say what they see, which is refreshing when you needed it and brutal when you didn't. If the Monkey adapts, the Rooster announces.
Precision
You get details right that others miss. Your work has a signature quality.
Honest speech
You say what you actually think. The room may not like it, but it's clarifying.
Discipline
You do the thing you said you'd do. Reliability is baseline for you.
Style
You have visible taste — dress, home, presentation. You take pride in how you show up.
Courage
You'll be the one who calls the emperor naked. It costs you sometimes and it also saves rooms.
Perfectionism
You'd rather not do it than do it imperfect. Whole projects sit at 90%.
Critical tongue
The eye that catches errors doesn't stop at work. Partners feel graded.
Pride
You struggle to admit mistakes because admission feels like diminishment.
Rigidity
Once you've decided how things should be, you're inflexible about alternatives.
Vanity
You spend real time on appearance and get bruised when it isn't noticed.
