RatPersonality Traits:
People born under the year of the Rat tend to be forthright, generous
and easy going to all of those that they love and care for. They
generally have happy, lively personalities and are very outgoing, although
they can get very edgy when upset. On the whole they are successful
in what they choose to do and are full of imagination and possess very
good memories. During a crisis rats come into their own because they
are level headed and intuitive, but often their energies can be scattered
by their over ambitious tendencies. If their over ambitious
enthusiasm can be avoided there is no reason why Rats should not do
well. The Rat is a lover of money and a hater of waste and idleness.
The year of the Rat: is symbolic of opportunity and good prospects.
Business in general is forecast as being good although it is possible that
bleak years will follow. However anything that began in the year of
the Rat should in theory be successful.
