The
Restless Rat 
Animal traits: In Chinese mythology,
rats are considered very wise animals. Chinese
believe that a rat is nervous, and analytical,
always curious, and bold enough to take risks,
but at the same time makes use of its intelligence
to weigh the risk factors carefully and avoid
dangers and traps.
Character: Those born in the Year
of the Rat are clever, curious, imaginative,
and charming, fast talkers, and high livers,
who take more intellectual than physical approaches
to life, but nevertheless passionately enjoy
all its material pleasures. The Rats are risk
takers, but they usually calculate the risks
precisely before leaping into action. However,
their wit, creativity, and curiosity make
them good critics with keen, deep insight,
and thus their advice is well-respected by
friends and enemies. Most Rats get more accomplished
in 24 hours than the rest of us do in as many
days. They are confident and usually have
good instinct. Stubborn as they are, they
prefer to live by their own rules rather than
others. It won't be an easy task to work with
Rat people. Why? Simple, because they are
also 100% perfectionists.
Lifestyle: The Rats love to go to
parties and spend quite a lot of time chatting
with their friends. Although they can be quiet
sometimes, it is rare to catch them sitting
quietly. They usually have more acquaintances
than real friends and they respect and cherish
those close to them. Once you become their
real friends, they will treat you as their
family. The Rats are self-contained and keep
problems to themselves. Even though they can
be talkative sometimes, they never confide
in anyone.
 Emotions:
Despite their ability to cope with almost
any circumstance, the Rats are really quite
vulnerable in a number of ways. Internally
they tend to be emotional, subject to stress
and quiet discontent. Behind the facade, they
have a tendency to be quick-tempered.
Career: The Rats are very organized
and talented, and are suited for any kind
of career. They can succeed as accountants,
businessmen, critics, writers, publicists,
lawyers, engineers, politicians, financial
planners, artists...
Love: The Rats are not romantic,
but once truly in love, they make hot and
intense lovers. Love helps them overcome their
inborn emotional secretiveness. The Rats may
be hard to see into at first glance because
they are so protective, even though their
outside is tough, inside they are passionate
creatures. They are very loyal and devoting
to their families. |
