Roosters are confident, precise, and proud of the work they do, with a sharp eye that catches every detail others miss. You speak your mind plainly and hold yourself and everyone else to high standards, which makes you reliable but occasionally hard to please. Beneath the polished exterior is someone who genuinely wants to be useful and admired for doing things right.
