Year of the Rat
According to Chinese folklore, people who are born under this Chinese sign are creative, honest, generous, ambitious, quick-tempered and wasteful. Rats are said to get along well with monkeys and dragons, and to get along poorly with horses.
Rats are a symbol of good luck and wealth. Clever, intelligent and quick-witted. This sign is ambitious and strong-willed, and is motivated by its own interests, which often include money and power. Natural charm and persuasion. They are energetic and versatile and can usually find their way around obstacles, and adapt to various environments easily. Its natural charm and sharp, funny demeanor make it an appealing friend for almost anyone. The Rat likes to know who is on its side and will treat its most loyal friends with an extra measure of protection and generosity. The Rats are strongly family oriented. Although they are often hoarders, Rats are very generous to their family and friends. The Rats have a great capabilty of accruing and holding on to items of value.
A valuable lesson for Rats is to learn to consider others above themselves, at least sometimes, and be direful not to force their ideas on others. Rats are fair in their dealings and expect the same from others in return, and can be deeply affronted if they feel they have been deceived or their trust has been abused. Sometimes they set their targets too high, whether in relationship to their friends or in their career, but as the years pass they will become more realistic and tolerant. If they can develop their sense of self and realize it leaves room for others in their life as well, Rats could find true happiness.
In the middle age, if everything goes smoothly, Rats will be able to achieve their life goals. Till the old age, their careers could reach the highest success. However, the latest happiness, honors and wealth, if Rats meet with the Horses, they may lose their luck although they are wealthy.
Famous people born in The Year of Rat include Richard Nixon - former President of the United States, George H. W. Bush - former President of the United States, Jimmy Carter - former President of the United States, Claude Monet - Painter, Hugh Grant - actor, Marlon Brando - actor, Samuel L. Jackson - actor, Prince Charles and Gwyneth Paltrow - actress.
