Love, friendship and work

In love two of the same temperament can feel instantly understood, but the spark can fade without contrast. As friends they are comfortable and low-maintenance. At work they should split responsibilities clearly so the same weakness isn't doubled up.

Making Rooster & Rooster work

Two Roosters can be very close, but neither naturally balances the other. Deliberately divide roles so the same weakness isn't doubled.

The recurring snag: the Rooster can be critical, the Rooster critical — and under stress each tends to bring out that side of the other. It rarely needs a big conversation. Naming the pattern out loud, early and without blame, is usually enough, because most Rooster–Rooster disagreements turn out to be the same one on repeat.
