METAL RAT – 1900, 1960

Once upon a time you were stamped with the spirit of good investing skills!  You are the investors.  My, my, how you do love money!  You also tend to try to hide your emotions.  You love to impress people and to hang with the influential folks.  You have a great gift to turn cents into dollars.  Metal rats are very calculating creatures!  You must always have a plan behind your plan.  You know what I mean!   It is also important to remember that you are very good at completing a job!  Learning to compromise and being more flexible will take you a long, long way in business and in life.  I can already see and you shaking your heads and saying no!
 

WATER RATS – 1912, 1972

Once upon a time you were stamped with the spirit of opportunity!  Like the metal rat, you are also calculating.  Hungry and thirsty for more security!  You rarely will miss an opportunity to persuade the others of your thinking!  You know how to get what you want by pleasing people.  You communicate quite well!  Most water rats are willing to smell and swim towards new trends.  You know how to make certain to capitalize on them as well.  Some of you leave clear and recognized tracks on the writing world.  Your pen never dries up!  You live without the desire to be a front line leader.  Nothing to be ashamed of, so long as it is leadership of pure head and heart! 
 

WOOD RAT – 1924, 1984

Once upon a time you were stamped with the spirit of self- confidence!  You have many artistic talents.  Be ever cautious that you don’t bite off more than you can swallow, my friend.  You shouldn’t be concerned with that, though, because you generally put everything to good use!  You’re hardworking and a great promoter.  Well thought of by others.  Great researcher, scratched in with a bit of ego!  That’s okay!  You aren’t generally opposed to compromise. However, don’t let others steal your cheese away when you’re not looking.  Be ever watchful!  I know, like all you rats, you work hard for your security!  You are smart and even wise rats.  Therefore, I know you will watch out for all the different kinds of traps that are out there. 
 

FIRE RAT – 1936, 1996

Once upon a time you were stamped with the spirit of being busy!  You are here and there, you’re everywhere.  Open fields, no tight or cramped spaces for you.  Look at you scurry and go!  You like to visit people and places.  You enjoy taking big risks, and you like to share big portions of your cheese with those close to you.  You enjoy competition and learning about new things.  Okay, so you’re not much of a diplomat, but you do manage to be popular anyway. Although, you are gone many times, and many miles away, that never means that family is not important to you.  You’re just out there checking out the best places and types of cheese.  

EARTH RAT – 1948

Once upon a time, you were stamped with the spirit of caution! Your reputation is in good standing.  Slow and steady is your path. You know the outcome of strong foundations and the time that it takes to build them up.  You’re an old rat in a young rat’s body. How about that!  Okay, so you may not be as generous and open with your funds as the fire rats, but you’ll be sure to take care of yourself and your own!  You are a very focused soul, as thorough an individual as anyone can be.  Wild "get rich" projects aren’t to your thinking. You know how long it took you to save the money that they are hoping you will invest.  No, fast and easy is not your path.  You much prefer to savour your cheeses!  Lady luck always knows how to locate you!  Most of the time, it’s indoors, unless you’re doing some yard work.  It is pure pleasure watching you add those final touches to all you do.  Very disciplined soul!  Happy and content are two of your favourite things to be.  You’re careful about where you speak your mind.  You don’t take rejection as your only chance either!  Patience and persistence, that's you.  You’re quiet, but one should not mistake this to mean that you are a pushover!
