Water Rooster
The Rooster says what it means. Sharp-eyed and exacting, the Rooster has little patience for sloppiness - in themselves or in anyone around them.
Water brings adaptability and depth - it wants to understand before it acts, moving around obstacles rather than through them. Paired with the Rooster's natural confident character, this produces someone who is outspoken but rarely passive about it.
Their strength is honesty - a willingness to name problems plainly instead of avoiding them. With Water's influence, that tendency is expressed in a distinctly fluid way.
Where to watch: The caution is bluntness: candor delivered without enough regard for how it lands. In excess, Water can become guarded or indecisive, overthinking rather than committing.
