A year of opportunity and great bounty, in which fortunes can easily be made. A time to make long term investments. Ventures begun this year will be successful; however, it is important to avoid taking unnecessary chances or risks. Success this year depends on being prudent and discriminating; then all will go well.

Rats are known to be hard-working and thrifty, shrewd and very adroit and handling and hanging on to their money. Alter and level-headed, they are gifted with foresight, keen intuition, and fine business acumen that is matched equally by their instinct for self-preservation.

Although tight with their money, Rats are genuinely caring souls who do not take their relationships lightly. They are true sentimentalists who cherish their families, friends and associates, and are prone to get entangled in others' affairs because of their strong emotional attachments. Although quiet and reserved on the surface, they are actually easily agitated and full of nervous energy, which they are able to contain, since they are not lacking self-control. What irritates them is most is idleness and waste of time and resources, as waste in any form is contrary to their own industrious natures.

Rats are charming, bright, outgoing, and have a highly sociable personality. They have a forthright and honest manner and enjoy parties and large gatherings. They have a remarkable eye for detail and an excellent memory. Rats are highly inquisitive and very good at gathering information from and about others, although they are expert guardians of their own secrets.

The greatest pitfall of the rat will be their avarice and ambition, wanting too much too soon.
