If you’re a Rooster like Dolly Parton and Jackie Chan, September is all about keeping calm and carrying on – but what about the other 11?

Chinese astrology is based upon a combination of yin and yang; the five elements of fire, earth, metal, water and wood; and the 12 animals of the zodiac. A lunisolar calendar is followed, dictated by the rhythms of the solar system.

The eighth month of the Chinese calendar represented by the Water Rooster, Gui You.

The rooster corresponds to the hours of the day between 5pm and 7pm.

The rooster relates to communication and renewal.

This month is all about letting go. Get ready to clear through some emotional blockages and get rid of any physical clutter. Don’t be afraid to make space wherever your life might need it.

In traditional Chinese culture, the energy of the Rooster is glamorous with an eye for detail. She appreciates an argument and likes to win, but has little patience for causes that drag on. This is a great month to make changes, which may until now have suffered delays. The instant you place mental focus on whatever you say or do, you will feel the power of it growing. The mind is like a laser beam: it empowers concentrated energy of thought.

Born with a sense of justice, the Rooster values equality and advocates for those who may find difficulty in speaking up for themselves with conviction and clarity. They have honest and passionate natures, which can be both an asset and a hindrance. Roosters may sometimes be blunt and argumentative, but if you have one on your side you can count on coming out on top.
