METAL RAT
Jan 31, 1900 to Feb 18, 1901
Jan 28, 1960 to Feb 14, 1961
General - Rat people are so charming and attractive they
are always surrounded by friends and admirers. They can also be
lone tumbleweeds, seldom making lasting friendships. Known as Perfectionists,
they never want to lose face. It takes an understanding friend
to get them to "put on the dancing plumes." Rat people have vivid
imagination and are known for creating extraordinarily magic moments
in time. Not surprisingly, the sensitive Rats have the gift of
insight and clairvoyance, so you better watch out what you think
around them! Rats enjoy being leaders and pacesetters and usually
enjoy extraordinary success in life.
Specific - If ten people are deserted on a desert island,
one of them will lead everyone to safety and that person will undoubtedly
be the decisive clear-thinking Metal Rat. This is a natural
born leader who inspires everyone through unparalleled leadership!
Quite the visionary, the idealistic Rat will see cathedrals in
the middle of the desert and make believers out of non-believers.
He or she has all the traits necessary to win and keep friends,
charm, sincerity, trustworthiness, as well as a sense of humor
and grand adventure. The enormously capable Metal Rats are very
successful in their career, with financial rewards keeping them
forever in clover. When it comes to love, Metal Rats' hearts tend
to be a bit brittle because they have been wounded by past love
affairs. However, when the Rats finally find the right person,
they will do all they can to pursue love, using every means at
their disposal. Love becomes a high priority.
WATER RAT
Feb 18, 1912 to Feb 5, 1913
Feb 15, 1972 to Feb 2, 1973
General - Rat people are so charming and attractive they
are always surrounded by friends and admirers. They can also be
lone tumbleweeds, seldom making lasting friendships. Known as Perfectionists,
they never want to lose face. It takes an understanding friend
to get them to "put on the dancing plumes." Rat people have vivid
imagination and are known for creating extraordinarily magic moments
in time. Not surprisingly, the sensitive Rats have the gift of
insight and clairvoyance, so you better watch out what you think
around them! Rats enjoy being leaders and pacesetters and usually
enjoy extraordinary success in life.
Specific - When water rats talk, people listen.
Commanding and eloquent, always the center of attention, the Water
Rats also have a soft side that endears them to the world. When
the world needs, Water Rats are there. Humanitarian fighters against
hunger, illness, sadness, they try to bring happiness to others
through their compassionate endeavors and smiling warmth. When
the world wants a friend, it's the loyal and sincere Water Rat
which draws them in. The Water Rat has a successful career but
money-wise, it's pretty much middle of the road. Changing free-spending
ways could lead to financial security if they are willing to make
the effort. Their natural charisma attracts members of the opposite
sex like wildfire, but Water Rats often don't set their standards
high enough and are quite indiscriminate in seeking love affairs,
until they finally settle down later in life. Once this happens,
they advance pretty far exhibiting oodles of charm with their loved
ones.

WOOD RAT
Feb 5, 1924 to Jan 23, 1925
Feb 2, 1984 to Feb 19, 1985
General - Rat people are so charming and attractive they
are always surrounded by friends and admirers. They can also be
lone tumbleweeds, seldom making lasting friendships. Known as Perfectionists,
they never want to lose face. It takes an understanding friend
to get them to "put on the dancing plumes." Rat people have vivid
imagination and are known for creating extraordinarily magic moments
in time. Not surprisingly, the sensitive Rats have the gift of
insight and clairvoyance, so you better watch out what you think
around them! Rats enjoy being leaders and pacesetters and usually
enjoy extraordinary success in life.
Specific - Wood rats don't care about firecrackers
and whiz-bam-boom special effects. Still waters run very deep!
Somewhat introverted and shy in social gatherings, Wood Rats nevertheless
make a big impact when it comes to career, finance, and entrepreneurial
projects. A big ego keeps this one focused on the big picture,
talking only when necessary to make the next move. The enterprising
Wood Rat knows and lives the rules in human dynamics: compromise,
flexibility, "playing it by ear," the Golden Rule, and generosity.
In the Love Boat, don't expect the Wood Rat to whisper a lot of
sweet nothings; again, still waters run deep. They don't need words,
they ACT their love, showering affection, kindness, and respect
on their loved ones, who love them in return.

FIRE RAT
Jan 24, 1936 to Feb 10, 1937
Feb 19, 1996 to Feb 6, 1997
General - Rat people are so charming and attractive they
are always surrounded by friends and admirers. They can also be
lone tumbleweeds, seldom making lasting friendships. Known as Perfectionists,
they never want to lose face. It takes an understanding friend
to get them to "put on the dancing plumes." Rat people have vivid
imagination and are known for creating extraordinarily magic moments
in time. Not surprisingly, the sensitive Rats have the gift of
insight and clairvoyance, so you better watch out what you think
around them! Rats enjoy being leaders and pacesetters and usually
enjoy extraordinary success in life.
Specific - With bon mots and sparking wordplay, the witty Fire
Rat engages in spirited discussions and debates on all matters
of intellectual inquiry. These free spirits like to find their
own way in life and resent well-meaning friends who suggest other
ways of doing things. They are independent, that's all, certainly
not stubborn, and this independence leads Fire Rats to pursue adventure
over status quo, competition over coasting, and persistence over
giving up. Free spirits are naturally attracted to other free spirits
who approach love with interdependence, never clinging or cloying.
Fire Rats are like Flamenco dancers, passion exploding with sensuality.
Ardent lovers for sure, Fire Rats are deeply devoted to friends,
family, and loved ones.

EARTH RAT
Feb 10, 1948 to Jan 28, 1949
Feb 7 , 2008 to Jan 25, 2009
General - Rat people are so charming and attractive they
are always surrounded by friends and admirers. They can also be
lone tumbleweeds, seldom making lasting friendships. Known as Perfectionists,
they never want to lose face. It takes an understanding friend
to get them to "put on the dancing plumes." Rat people have vivid

around them! Rats enjoy being leaders and pacesetters and usually

Specific - The early years of the Earth Rat's career
seemed like nothing but burning the midnight oil at the time. But
in retrospect, the strong work ethic, discipline, caution, and
long hours are what led to their current life of abundance for
themselves and their families. Today there is more time to enjoy
the fruits of their labor and to do the things they put off for
too long. Life is filled with weekend escapades, longer excursions,
and membership in the Unofficial Adventurer's Club, which requires
its "members" to live life to its fullest. One very fulfilling
area of their lives is Love & Romance, hearts and flowers all
the time. Earth Rats are very dependable souls and always attentive
towards the needs of their loved ones. Together, they share a love
that will last for all the moons of their lives.
