Rats in General
The Rat is the first animal in the Chinese zodiac. The Rat person is charming and ambitious. They are always busy and seldom able to relax fully. If not, they get bored easily or get bad tempered. They enjoy going to parties or having a quick round of chat. Rats like to reach their goals by fair play. They are shrewd and not easily fooled.

Rat Strengths
Rats are lively, sociable and easy to get along. They are ambitious and like to see others put in an honest day's work. The Rat is a real family person and devoted to their loved ones and family. At home, they do not reveal any unattractive personality traits. Rats make good advisers to others but not to themselves and are generous to those they truly love, even if not loved back. Rats are also hardworking and thrifty and able to sense danger. Rats are honest and meticulous and intelligent.

Rat's Challenges
Rats are practical but lack courage. Can be extravagant and greedy. If the Rat is not careful, the greedy side of the Rat could lead to all kinds of trouble. Rats are secretive, self-indulging and self-seeking. They love to criticise and gossip. Rats should avoid being over-worked and being over-ambitious. Rats should avoid trusting another Rat or those born in the year of the Rabbit and Goat.

Rat's Prosperity in other Animal Years
Rats flourish in Rat, Dragon and Monkey years, but have to scrabble about in Rabbit, Horse and Hen years

Rat Compatibility
Best love match: Dragon - together you'll inspire each other to reach heights you never knew existed. You've finally met someone as wild as you are!
Probably best to avoid: Rat - love should never be this much hard work!
And compatibility with the other signs?
Ox - expect steadfast devotion in return for your sexy ideas. Prepare to dance around this partner's obstinacy.
Tiger - passion powerhouse, as bouncy as you, offers lots of sexy fun. Counter bossiness with good-humoured cool.
Rabbit - patience is rewarded when you get to know this lover's quiet and sexy strength - but it has to be for keeps!
Snake - this shy, mysterious lover maddens and enthralls you. They adore your energy and your smart take on life.
Horse - a challenge indeed! Passionate, make or break courtship is fun while it lasts - and could just last forever!
Goat - this homey, domesticated lover will needs lots of pampering - but their faithful heart can be ample return.
Monkey - a brilliant partnership of bright, like-minded fun lovers. You fuel each other's ambition. Sex is sensational.
Hen - can you cope with critical comments? Laugh them off? This is a sexually but exacting lover.
Dog - this dear, devoted partner demands a lot of petting. Your endless reassurance is repaid with total loyalty.
Pig - this sexy, sensuous lover comes with lots of baggage - friends, family, lifestyle. Can you enter into the spirit?

The Sexy Rat
For you, love is all about acquisition and once you've set your sights on someone, only a restraining order can keep you away. This persistence pays off in bed too, as you're always open to new and exciting sex games. Domination, role-playing and even a spot of bondage are just a few of your favourite things - but woe betide any partner who lets the sparkle fade from your lovemaking. Another of your favourite activities is steamily telling your partner exactly what you mean to do with them, until they just melt with lust. In fact, the only downside of your adventurous sexy nature is your short attention span. Once you've lured a lover to you, your eyes tend to start roving again - so do try to recognise when you're onto someone good.

How to Trap a Rat
Look at a Rat boldly across a crowded room, then turn your back and ignore them - they'll soon come over to try and steal your attention again. Once your Rat is there, whisper that you have a fantasy that no one has ever dared to act out - they'll simply be desperate to rise to the challenge.
