People born in the Year of the Rat, according to the Chinese zodiac, are quick-witted, resourceful, and versatile with strong intuition and quick response. They have excellent taste, are a good friend and are generous and loyal to the ones they love.
Rat people are meticulous and diligent with a sharp perspective, capable of taking advantage of various opportunities well. They are sensitive to others' emotions but are sometimes impulsive and lack persistence.
Despite their strengths, Rats can be timid, unstable, stubborn, picky, lack of persistence, and querulous. They love to gossip which can lead to accusations of rumor-mongering.
Rats are most compatible with Ox, Dragon, and Monkey, mutually beneficial relationships marked by similarity in traits and common outlooks. However, there can be issues with Horse, Goat, and Rooster.
