A social lot, Rats tend to make friends easily and are concerned with the welfare and activities of others. They have a need to be surrounded by people and are generally relaxed in the company of others. Known for their charm, they usually are not lacking for friends.
Rats tend to be hard workers who use their imagination to guide them on the road of life. However, they sometimes lack the confidence to put their ideas into action. They have a strong sense of self-preservation and make good problem solvers. They should stay away from bureaucratic situations as they can become sticklers for rigid discipline and routine.
They are observant creatures, who like to be in the middle of the action. As they are good critics, they generally do well as writers or journalists. In fact any job which brings them into contact with people or the media is a good choice for them.
Rats are sometimes thought of as opportunists because they are constantly seeking new ways to improve their lives, rarely letting an opportunity slip by them. As a result of this tendency, they can sometimes become entangled in schemes or plans that may not be altogether scrupulous.
When it comes to money, Rats are considered thrifty. Some would say they are greedy. They tend to keep their money within their family, spending it on those that are close to them as well as on themselves. They like the life of luxury and to dress and live in style. They also have a tendency to hoard and acquire goods.
With their pleasant, amiable nature, Rats have many friends. They make good conversationalists; although at times they can be indiscreet. They are family-oriented, often partaking in large clans. Furthermore, they are faithful to their partner, children and parents. Those born under the sign of the Ox, Dragon and Monkey or other Rats make good partners for Rats.
Rats are a talented lot who are surrounded by friends. Provided that they focus and concentrate on their interests, they should be able to capitalize on their capabilities.
