People born in the Year of the Rat tend to be strongly associated with secretive, aggressive, and energetic traits. This sign of the Chinese zodiac is ruled by the fixed element water, which makes Rats compassionate, flexible, intellectual and creative, but also passive-aggressive, manipulative and sometimes even self-destructive. Rat is a yang zodiac sign, linked to many masculine traits. Career-wise, Rats are very flexible, accommodating a range of positions from espionage to law enforcement.
Within the scope of the Chinese zodiac, there is a lot of leeway. The Chinese zodiac is actually a cycle, running through five elements in their yin and yang aspects and 12 animals. Consequently, the year a rat is born is very important, with rats tending to be natural leaders, as they lead the Chinese zodiac. The place and time of birth are also very important for rats; mice that are born at night, for example, are expected to face difficulties in their lives.
Like their animal counterparts, mice are sneaky and hardworking people. They tend to be extremely intelligent and intellectual, with many mice being lively conversationalists. However, they value privacy very much and dislike being pushed into a whole. Arguing with a rat can be difficult, as rats tend to get defensive when they feel cornered, resorting to meanness and frivolous attacks. It can also be difficult to make friends with a rat, and rats tend to have few friends they really open up to.
Rats are known to have a good sense of humour, although their sense of humor can be a little offbeat, and despite their short temper and aggressive nature, they are extremely sensitive. Rats are easily injured and can quickly turn to revenge, holding a grudge for a long time. Rats are also extremely energetic, versatile, and practical, often coming up with sensible solutions to a wide variety of situations. Rats have a tendency to lapse into hedonism which can be quite dangerous, especially when coupled with their naturally guilty nature, and some rats abuse themselves a little more than they really need to.
Working with a rat can be frustrating, because rats are very controlling, dominating people who crave order, and can be very critical. Rats do well in positions that allow them to work independently, such as espionage, or in jobs that allow them to solve challenging problems, such as scientific research. They are also fine as creative professionals.
Dragons, monkeys and oxen get along well with mice. Rats also tend to interface well with other rats, along with snakes, pigs, and roosters, thanks to their personalities, which can be quite charming and likeable despite their aggressiveness. However, mice don’t get along well with dogs, rabbits, tigers, and sheep. They are also known to get along very well with horses.
