Fire Rooster year

1957 Chinese Zodiac: Year of the Fire Rooster

Quick answer

People born from February 4, 1957 through February 3, 1958 are Fire Roosters. (Born on February 4, 1957 itself? The exact boundary falls at a specific hour that day — a birth time settles it.) Born in 1957 before that date? You belong to the previous year — the Fire Monkey.

The Rooster sees the loose thread from across the room. Observant, exacting, and constitutionally honest, Roosters keep the standards everyone else quietly relies on — the checked figure, the pressed detail, the schedule that actually holds. They announce the dawn as they see it, popular or not. The shadow is criticism that arrives sharper than intended, and a perfectionism that grades its own reflection hardest of all. At their best, Roosters are the trusted eye: the person whose “this is good” means it is actually good.

The Fire year turns the brightness up: more warmth, more theatre, conviction that arrives before caution does.

♥ In love

Loyal and surprisingly warm once trust is set. A Rooster shows love by noticing — and needs a partner who hears their honesty as care, not attack.

◆ At work

Excels in quality-critical work: accounting, law, editing, surgery, operations. Vague briefs and moving goalposts offend a Rooster’s whole nervous system.

Why this element: The heavenly stem 丁 (Ding) carries Fire; the Rooster's fixed element is Metal. That combination is what makes 1957 a Fire Rooster year.

The Rooster temperament in full — love, career, trine allies and clashes — lives on the animal page.
