Astrologists suggest that 2017 will be an exciting year for careers and financial investments, and there are predictions that this will be a great year to get married and advance in your professional relationships. Although red is the celebrated color for 2017, it’s best to avoid red in your clothing and accessories and instead use colors to best complement reds and the fire element, such as earth tones like yellows and browns.

Roosters are said to be warm hearted, independent, determined, ambitious and hard working, but many roosters can also be impatient, critical and even selfish.

Astrologists say that Rooster years are often hallmarked by integrity and efficiency – all of your hard work will pay off and lead to success.
