Love
Each animal in the zodiac has its unique characteristics and not all animals get on with each other. Some are more compatible with one another than others.
The Rooster is most compatible with the Ox, the Dragon, or the Snake. It does not get on as well with the Rat, or the Rabbit.
Predictions
As for what lies ahead for the Rooster, China Highlight’s astrologers said: “As 2023 is a year of the Rabbit, Roosters, you will suffer from opposition to Tai Sui (the ‘age star’) in 2023, and your luck will be particularly unfavourable.
“You should maintain an optimistic attitude, be prepared to meet various challenges, and put in more effort than last year.
“You are predicted to have poor career development prospects in 2023. Studying a lot in your spare time and learning the knowledge and skills related to your current work can bring you better career development luck in the future.
“The wealth projection for you Rooster people in 2023 is extremely unfavorable because of the impact of your career problems on your earnings.
“The love fortunes of you Rooster people will offer up a great turning point, and your love life will be highly enriched.”
