If you were born in the Chinese Year of the Rat, you were born under the dual sign of charm and aggression. Your exterior is calm and well-balanced, but inside you are totally restless. You can be a creator of embarrassing situations, a niggler, a grumbler. You like to be part of the ‘In Group’, but have more acquaintances than true friends. You need to be self contained. Above all, you are an opportunist, making the most of any chances that come your way. You can sometimes be mean or narrow-minded, but nevertheless you are honest. You prefer to live by your wits than by work, and unfortunately you spend money as quickly as you earn it. You can be very generous and sentimental with the ones you love, and can make a success of your life if you manage to master your perpetual discontent and your insistence on living for the present. You have a charisma that draws others to you, are sociable, sensitive, and usually well liked.
