The first position in the Chinese Zodiac, the Rat, is one of charm, creativity, and survival. Those souls born into Rat years learn the lesson of “concealment,” as an embryo is hidden within the womb. The Rat is analytical, always curious, and highly intelligent. Rats inhabit a private world, one that is hidden from view and camouflaged—a place of retreat. They use charm to deflect and evade unpleasantness whenever possible. Under duress, Rats know how to take cover, artfully dodging both expectations and intrusions. Because they are always alert, Rats may seem anxious or nervous at times. Their attentiveness allow them to avoid many traps and dangers in life. The Rat represents fertility , the ability to live unseen, and intelligence. Being consumate suriviors, Rats have the ability to adapt easily to most circumstances.Talkative and fascinating, the Rat is a natural in social situations, and is always a favorite party guest. However, the Rat is essentially introverted by nature and feels the most comfortable when socializing with close friends and family. Master of many trades, the eclectic Rat has an innate sense of human nature and is observant of those around them. According to Chinese folk legend, as maturity approaches, Rats are believed to acquire the gift of prophecy. They are natural teachers, and enjoy imparting life’s knowledge to all who care to listen (often doing so well into the midnight hour).The most harmonious time of day for the Rat is between 11 p.m. and 1 a.m., when the dark yin force reaches its peak. The stealthy Rat rules these arcane hours that encompass the yin and the yang. It is said that the Rat has a split personality because of this. In spite of their love of parties and sharing of nightly confidences, midnight should be a time of rest and regeneration for them.
