It is. It's your zodiac year! It's supposed to be extra lucky and what not.

It means that I know what your age is this year
or approximate.
Of course, even though you're born in the year of the rooster, but different years you have different luck and there is no definite good/bad luck. Some zodiacs may have more good luck this year and some may have more bad luck, it varies over years. I'm no teller of this kind of thing so I'm not quite sure.
Happy CNY everyone

They say being born at the beginning of the year of the dragon is extra good luck.

Really? I've never heard of it I was born at the tail of the year of the dragon I like the dragon.
But the rat still comes first, no? I wish there was a year of the cat.
Anyone who was born in 1989 after CNY is in the year of the snake (I think it's after Feb or something.)

Ah, the Chinese lunar calendar. So confusing. :P A few years ago there were two Mays (well, not really May, but rather the fifth month was doubled for some reason), and the new year sometimes comes in January.
Gung hay fat choi, gung xi fa chai, and shi nian quai le everyone. (I don't know enough Mandarin to know if the last two were right or not. XD)

Oh, and happy marriages to everyone but I don't know that one.
