2008 is the Year of the Rat
The Chinese astrological cycle begins with the year of the Rat; so Rats like to be first, pioneers, at the forefront of the action. Restless and inquisitive, those born under the influence of the Rat are active, both physically and mentally, and tend to lead busy lives. Rats are formidable problem solvers, finding workable solutions to the knottiest problems. Traveling is one of their favorite pastimes. They have a natural talent for the arts, specifically writing. The Rat possesses attributes ranging from charming and humorous to honest and meticulous. The Chinese say those born in these years make good and wise advisors, yet they can never decide for themselves and change direction constantly. However, Rats at times hunger for power and money, leading some to be gamblers and others to be manipulative or petty. They can worry and fret endlessly, especially about their health, which creates internal stress. To combat this, Rats need space and understanding, love and companionship. Rats are best known for their charm and intelligence. They possess a marvelous sense of humor, which makes them stimulating and amusing company to have around.
