Wood Rooster personality

Wood turns the Rooster's eye for improvement toward development rather than correction alone. A clear standard becomes something to help another person reach, with cooperation giving candour a more encouraging tone. The challenge is assuming that helpful attention is always welcome, especially when a companion wanted space to experiment before receiving a detailed account of what could be better.
