Wow. Got to check out roosters. They've shown up in the Bird and Animal horoscope.
Thanks again Annie, and for your comment about not particularly liking the birth stone for your sign. That makes me feel better about not relating to some of these things. Fun to delve into though.

that is weird. Virgo has a rooster? I read "Virgin" once was "unmarried maiden"
so the madien has a rooster as a power animal.

as for not having your power animal where you live. I haven't seen any gryphons around
