Rooster 鸡

The Rooster is precision: standards, punctuality and the courage to point at the flaw.

The Rooster is the cycle's craftsman: exacting, observant and not shy about standards. It reads as precision, diligence and an eye for what is not being said or done properly.

The shadow is criticism and vanity: the Rooster can be right and exhausting. The useful reading is craft — the chart shows whether it becomes excellence or nitpicking.
