CNY: The Year of the Rooster Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

CherryCacher: This one has sadly bought the farm (again!) and rather that replace it, I am choosing to retire it. It has server the caching community well for over 12 years, but most of the rest of the series has been archived, so I am issuing the Rooster's swan song. Farewell cachers!

Geocache Description:

The CNY series celebrates the Chinese New Year. The 12 animal signs of the Chinese Zodiac are presented. Eleven will have a number needed for the coordinates to find the twelfth for this Chinese New Year, The Year of the Dragon.

The rooster is almost the epitome of fidelity and punctuality. For ancestors who had no alarm clocks, the rooster's crowing was significant, as it could awaken people to get up and start to work. Another symbolic meaning the rooster carries is exorcising evil spirits. People used to worship ancestors and believed in fortune telling for a long time.

Strengths
Roosters are deep thinkers considered to be honest, bright, communicative, ambitious, capable and warm-hearted. They have strong self-respect and seldom rely on others. As most roosters are born pretty or handsome, they prefer to dress up. They have a quick mind and hot temper. They like to be busy and neat. Roosters are not reluctant to fall behind others and hate dawdlers.

Weaknesses
They might be enthusiastic about something quickly, but soon might be impassive. They are often a bit eccentric and have difficulty relating with others. They are critical and think they are always right. Like their fortunes, roosters' emotions swing from very high very slow. They can be positive but selfish, caustic and too outspoken. They are narrow-minded and vain. They probably refuse suggestions but would like to lecture others. If they can overcome their arrogance being sincerely in speaking, they will make more progress.
