2017 - the year of which animal? Fiery rooster
The rooster is the only representative of the feathered family from the 12 signs of the Eastern calendar. Animals, reptiles and fabulous creatures took into their company the Rooster, which appeared in the clearing after the call of Buddha only tenth, as the legend says. Considering that there were 12 participants in the clearing in total, we can conclude that the Rooster was in no hurry. This is not so, just the Rooster rarely allows himself to be drawn into unknown adventures - he needs to weigh everything, check, and - put things in order in case of a long absence. That is why the Rooster was not in the forefront, but he was firmly convinced that he would remain until the end, no matter how fate turned.

Each representative of the 12-year cycle of the Eastern calendar must go through five elements, which correspond to their colors:
Green color characterizes the tree
- Red is a symbol of fire
- Blue represents water
- Earth years are colored yellow
- White is the color of metal.

As a result, a period of 60 years is obtained, after which the signs repeat their elements. 2017 will be held under the sign of the Red Fire Rooster, which promises us an even brighter and more eventful rooster year than usual.
Characteristics of the year of the Rooster
To believe or not to believe in the Eastern calendar is a personal matter for everyone, but there is no smoke without fire, it was not for nothing that ancient astrologers carefully verified their star charts with the movement of the luminaries and drew conclusions about the general laws of each year. The Year of the Rooster is rarely full of disasters, wars and destructive natural disasters, rather, on the contrary - one has only to remember that 1945 was the year of the Rooster.
The Rooster always favors and singles out those who work hard, because the Rooster himself, by the grain, seeks food not only for himself, but also for a large family. The main distinguishing features of the Red Rooster are courage and kindness, dignity, loyalty and benevolence. As a rule, in the year of the Rooster, well-conceived and well-thought-out projects are carried out, especially with an eye to the future, not one-day. The Rooster categorically does not welcome easy money, lottery wins and any adventures, with all its outward showiness and extravagance, in the soul the Rooster is a notorious conservative.

Distinctive features of people born in the year of the Rooster
In the year of the Rooster, creative and extraordinary personalities are born, many of whom become artists, composers, diplomats or military leaders (Yves Montand and Katherine Hepburn, Johann Strauss and Richard Wagner, Andrei Gromyko, Alexander Suvorov and many others). All of them are characterized by accuracy on the verge of pedantry, concentration, perseverance and responsibility. The kindness of people born in the year of the Rooster knows no bounds, but this is creative kindness - if they saw an abandoned animal, they will take it for themselves or put it in good hands, without fail checking whether their protégé is well settled. Active, active Roosters often always follow the fashion, their clothes are distinguished by unusual cut and bright, but not lurid colors, because from birth such people have impeccable taste.

Their only drawback, rather, an inconvenience for those around them - the inability to hide their feelings and incontinence in speech. The rooster always speaks the truth, in the eyes and behind the eyes, sometimes at a loss. But this is how the fighting cock character is manifested.
Predictions for the New 2017 of the Red Fire Rooster
The new 2017 year, according to forecasts, promises to be quite stable, without obvious crises in political and personal life. It is quite possible that peacekeeping leaders will appear on the world stage, who will be able to noticeably "steer" the situation towards international agreements. Many mass sports and entertainment events are expected, which will leave good and bright memories.
As for the life of each individual taken person, the year of the Rooster is perfect for the implementation of the most daring and ambitious plans, whether it is starting a business or buying a home, even moving to another country. A slightly frivolous Rooster can bring some confusion into his personal life, trying to show the temptations of a new relationship.

But, if everything is good and strong in a couple, then light flirting will not hurt, and in the presence of conflicts, that very temptation can become the logical conclusion of an already ended relationship and the beginning of a new life. In any case, weddings are traditionally played in the year of the Rooster and this year is considered very successful for replenishing the family.
May the Red Fire Rooster help us live a stable, healthy and happy year.
