Rat Chinese Zodiac Sign: Traits, Love, Compatibility
Wit and resourcefulness.
Rat
The Rat is wit, charm and resourcefulness. You think fast, you sense an opening before it opens, and you know how to win people over. Thrifty and well stocked, you find a way out of a tight spot where others give up.
In love
In love you are charming and attentive, and you value closeness you can rely on. You need a partner who is warm to be with and never dull.
In work
You are strong where quick thinking, timing and hustle pay off: trade, ideas, connections. Routine wears you down.
Strengths and weak spots
What to keep in mind
The animal of the year is one stroke, the same way a sun sign is. It describes the cast of your character. It does not hand out fate and it does not replace the whole chart of the sky. If you were born in January or early February, check your sign against the date of Chinese New Year.
FAQ
Which years are Rat years?
1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020, 2032. The circle repeats every twelve years. If you were born in January or early February, check your sign against the date of Chinese New Year.
Who is the Rat compatible with?
The easiest match is inside its own trine: Dragon and Monkey. The hardest is the opposite sign, which is Horse. Still, one animal of the year is a rough measure, and full compatibility takes two charts of the sky.
Rat is only the year you were born. The Moon, the ascendant and the planets are waiting in the full chart.
