Roc

Roc is the regular sign of the sixth month.

Those Born Under the Sign

Those born under the Roc are hard to truly understand, for they seem so contradictory on the surface - at once extroverted and introverted, strategic and spontaneous, focused and intuitive. This variability makes their true character difficult to pin down; they are an entire constellation of personalities, different depending on whom they are around. It is all because Rocs prize empathy above all.

Being so receptive, they can become mirrors of the people around them, holding strong opinions about others while taking a long time to understand themselves. They long to be admired for both their talents and their charm - which they sometimes struggle to embody - and to be seen as the steady figure who balances the turbulence around them. And because they know their own unhappiness ripples out to everyone near them, they feel an intense guilt and shame whenever they are unhappy.

In Tengu Culture

Among the Tengu the Roc is called Gagana, dedicated to the steel defender; those born under it are seen as natural-born protectors, expected to rise to the occasion and let their wings shield others every day of their lives.
