The Character of the
Rat
The Rat is first in cycle of the twelve animals and corresponds to the Earthly Branch Tzu. Tzu is associated with the 11th month and matched to the hours of the day between 11 p.m. and 1 a.m. Wherever humans are found the Rat is also found; rats find their way into every corner of the world and can survive in any conditions.
You are gregarious, sociable, intelligent and polite. You are also strong-willed and humorous. You make friends easily but do not form any deep friendships. When you first meet someone you are open and sincere and expect to be treated in the same way. If you are created or deceived you quickly take the same way. You have a vivid imagination, discriminating judgement and the ability to translate your ideas into reality.
Underneath an eloquent, carefree and happy exterior you are calculating and miserly. You refuse to pay more than your fair share of expenses although you are happy to accept others’ generosity. The good impressions which you initially create is soon destroyed by your criticism and pettiness. At a superficial level you know how to put others in a good mood and how to maintain a good social atmosphere.
You are impulsive and persistent in business and friendships. You use your sharp intelligence to assess situations and then take advantage of any available opportunities. You appear to be a patient and forgiving business partner, but you secretly distrust your associates. Try to be more patient and understanding.
You will be a cooperative and loving marriage partner. Aman born in this year is passionate from the beginning of a relationship, whereas a woman born in this year is usually passionate and committed after marriage. Someone born in the year of the Dragon will make a good marriage partner because both of you be long-lasting in spite of many arguments. You will feel confident and safe if you marry someone born in the year of the Ox. Partnerships between people born in the years of the Rat, the Dragon and the Ox are called a Three Harmony.
You will be happy if you marry someone born in the year of the Monkey provided the Monkey is not too dominant. A marriage with someone born in the year of the Snake, the Dog, the Pig or the Tiger will be happy but not perfect. Avoid marrying someone born in the year of the Horse because the Horse is too independent and honest for the Rat. A woman born in the year of the Horse on the Way ( 1906, 1966 ) should be wary of marrying aman born in the year of Rat: she would be cheated throughout her marriage. You are suited to a marriage with someone born in the year of Rabbit as long as your relationship is founded on a firm friendship; if your friendship is superficial your marriage will end in disaster.
You are suited to a career as a publisher, writer, commercial trader, critic, accountant, shopkeeper or musician.
