Rat

 

 

Sign:

 

The Rat is the sign of charm

 

Basic Character:

 

The Rat individual is industrious with a strong sense of family

responsibility. The rat is intelligent but not in the bookish sense,

for here is the successful entrepreneur or perhaps a captain in

industry. The Rat has immense drive and stamina: a perfectionist.

A Rat also tends to be overawed by class differences, particularly

when the Rat is at the lower end of the scale. In spite of their drive

and industry, the humility of Rats warrants recognition for they are

very outgoing and generous people. Although it is classically

believe this is true on account of the Rat's outgoing nature.

The Rat by his industry and hard work also offers good pickings to

thieves: the year of the Rat may therefore show an increase in the

crime rate. In tune with the over-prolificness of the Rat, there

could well be a rise in the birth rate in a Rat year. The overview is

that there will be increased productivity in every field of human

endeavour in a Rat year.

 

The Rat lover:

 

Rats are able to control their feelings and will generally present a

cool facade to the outside world, regardless of whatever volcanic

emotions they may be feeling inside. But these are passionate

creatures whose feelings can be deeply stirred and though able to

control them as a rule, when the volcano does erupt, watch out!

Perhaps one of their faults is their inability to actually talk about

their feelings to those they love, and consequently they tend to

repress them - thus adding to the volcanic pressure. As well as

being deeply passionate these are sensual creatures who simply

exude sexuality and who greatly enjoy all forms of physical

stimulation. The Rat parent: Rats make good, warm-hearted,

spontaneous parents. They have plenty of wit and good explosive

problem. Because Rats are so broad-minded, they tend to favour as

wide and as liberal an education for children as possible.

Adventurous themselves, they enjoy joining in their offsprings'

imaginative games, encouraging both mental and physical

exploration. But there are times when the Rat's keen mental

powers will lose patience if their display a lazy mind or are

disinterested academically; then the Rat's short-temper will

explode.

 

The Rat child:

 

Childhood for the young Rat is perhaps the happiest time of their

life. From a very early age they will show an aptitude for sports

and games and a love for the outdoor life. As children they are

inquisitive and consequently eager to learn, to explore their

environment, and expand their awareness. At school, Rat children

may excel in languages and if they are academic and choose to go

on to higher education, chances are they will choose humanities or

literature studies. Generally speaking, this group make keen

students who are always ready to pick up new skills.

 

Health:

 

Rats are wiry and tenacious and never give in to ill-health. If they

are ever ill, they will simply fight their way back to health again.

People born under this influence need to watch their sweet tooth or

they may put on weight. Old age seems to be a time of peace and

contentment for this group but, ominously, according to legend

rats tend to die a sudden death. Careers, hobbles and pastimes:

Writing, acting, music, arts and handicrafts, anything to do with

the theatre, sports and travel.

 

Compatibility:

 

The Rat is naturally attracted to the hard-working Ox, the loyal

Dragon and the security-conscious Snake. He delights in the

versatility and escapades of the Monkey and can have successful

relationships with the Tiger, the Boar, or another Rat. Rats and

Horses rarely get along unless there are mitigating features in the

charts of the individuals involved. The Horse is too changeable and

selfish for the clannish, conservative Rat. Alliances with Roosters

are equally unwise; they are too dramatic and impractical for the

Rat, who can see through their act need for affection. Sheep will

spend the Rat's money on frivolities and the Rat may suspect the

Sheep will treat his affections with and equally open-handed

aplomb.
