Year of the Rat
 The imaginative Rat is charming and very generous to those they love. They tend to be quick-tempered and over-critical if they feel unappreciated or insecure. Rats can make good writers, excellent critics and productive publicists. They are forthright, tenacious, intense, meticulous, charismatic, sensitive, intellectual, industrious, charming, eloquent, sociable, artistic and shrewd. They can be vindictive, manipulative, self-destructive, envious, obstinate, critical, ruthless, intolerant and scheming

Forcast for the Year of the Rat
This year you need to trust what you desire and what you intuitively feel. This will be a year full of financial challenges and pitfalls that could cost you a lot unless you are very careful. Many things will be hard to predict and it won't necessarily be your own actions that create these hardships around you. The economy will go through a number of hic-cups and this will affect everyone but especially those who often give to others before considering their own needs. Your most compatible mate would be an Ox, a Dragon or a Monkey.
