Phoenix Personality:

The rare and enticing Phoenix is a universal symbol of transformation, rebirth, and eternity. The Phoenix rose anew from the flames of purification and was not destroyed. In China, the Phoenix is honored as a symbol of the Empress, the earth, and feminine yin energy. The noble Phoenix is partnered with Dragon, a symbol of the Emperor, the heavens, and masculine yang energy.

An individual born in the year of the Phoenix has the potential to transform their soul. By overcoming obstacles - trial by fire - s/he can become a new person. Phoenix has opportunities to remedy actions from past lives and bring this new awareness into future incarnations.

Sometimes Phoenix is translated as Rooster or Chicken (the male referred to as cock and the female referred to as hen). We use the term Phoenix because we find it to be a more spiritual translation with the potential for personal transformation. When the spiritual journey of evolution and transformation is too great for Phoenix to bare, s/he may revert to the role of a rooster or chicken.

The year of the Phoenix is a time of practical endeavors, conscientiousness, hard work, and discipline. Politically, conservative police states gain power, and law and order are championed.
