02 / The story of the year

What kind of Rooster is 2077?

2077 is a Fire Rooster year. Its stem-branch name is 丁酉 (dīng-yǒu): the heavenly stem 丁 carries yin fire, and the earthly branch 酉 corresponds to the Rooster.

Zodiac animal: Rooster · 鸡
Year element: Fire
Stem & branch: 丁酉 · dīng-yǒu
Lunar year length: 384 days

Rooster personality in tradition

The Rooster is linked with watchfulness and the arrival of a new day. Jī is the general Chinese word for chicken.

The phrase “attentive & expressive” describes a traditional association with this animal, rather than a rule about everyone born in 2077. The year element is one part of the calendar; it does not establish a person's complete five-elements or Bāzì chart.

我属鸡。

Wǒ shǔ jī. “I was born in the Year of the Rooster.”

Rooster compatibility in folklore

Rooster, Ox and Snake form a traditional harmony group of three. Rabbit sits opposite Rooster, six places away in the twelve-animal cycle. These describe symbolic positions, not evidence of who will make a good partner.
