The Solid Character of the Metal Rat
The year 1960 gave us the toughest, most unprincipled people. Which Rats are most feared? Of course, Metal, because in her look, character, manner of behavior, even her gait lies real metal, hardness, inflexibility before the will of others. This is a very picky, uncompromising boss, before whom all his subordinates tremble. The Metal Rat likes to insist on its own, to achieve its goal by any means. One should not expect concessions or indulgences from her, weakness is alien to her, and therefore she despises this quality in other people.

Of course, Wooden, because she is not able to concentrate on something specific, and also loves to spend money. It is incredibly difficult for her to choose just one activity, so she is dispersed into several at once. The Wood Rat strives to do everything at once, to embrace the immensity, and this destroys it. She starts one business, abandons it and runs to another; with this approach, you can be left without a livelihood. Therefore, you should stop internal impulses and concentrate on only one, most important goal.

> Year of the Rat
Charming appearance and charisma are the hallmark character traits of people who born in the year of the rat. People of this sign are mostly distinguished by their thriftiness, and at the same time, a generous attitude towards loved ones. Elegance and inner strength are their main character traits. External composure and attractive cheerfulness are only bait for your opponent. With longer communication with such people, you can notice that under their calm and serene “sign” are hidden internal processes of anxiety and aggression.
Also, many of the people born in the year of the rat are essentially petty, although you cannot take away their neatness, pedantry and ambition. They are purposeful, thanks to which achieving success in any business is their main life credo. Their straightforwardness and strength of character are easily visible in their position in life. Thanks to their own charm and attractiveness, they try their best to benefit from everything that surrounds them: friends, relatives, and material possessions. Living one day at a time, they manage to accumulate significant savings in order to provide for their old age
The ability to keep their own skeletons in the closet, other people's secrets and business secrets is a key factor in their success in life. Spending the stormy second half of their lives, childhood and adolescence are usually carefree and happy for such people. Thanks to a turbulent adult life, situations arise with the risk of losing your entire fortune in a gambling game or an unsuccessful business deal, and there is also the possibility of losing family happiness due to a one-day affair on the side. Depending on the time of birth, old age can be either calm or uncertain and troublesome. If a person was born in the year of the rat in the summer, a long search for material wealth to survive, with maneuvering between the existing traps of life, is not excluded; if in the winter, old age is more likely to pass in peace and prosperity.
Misconceptions and failures in life often occur due to personal weaknesses. The love for beautiful decorations and shiny, bright shop windows often lets such people down. Such people cannot resist a flattering swindler, a malicious swindler or a crafty person, for the simple reason that they can mistake the ordinary for something exceptional and special. Their deliberate lies without reason often lead to confusion and confusion. With the aim of hidden influence on the interlocutor from their environment, they often deliberately create a special atmosphere around themselves. And despite some difficulties, they often achieve their goals. The ability to make any person work for themselves, the ability to use the opponent’s shortcomings, and an unusually developed sense of self-preservation often saves them from exposure.
Without demanding any privileges for themselves, they give others the opportunity to improve their living conditions, while they themselves do not miss any opportunity to make their own life better. Sometimes, sacrificing their own interests, they patronize and take care of their neighbors, sometimes treating them as personal property. Hating loneliness, such people are constantly looking for suitable company, while giving preference to friends and relatives. In stressful situations, the character of such people is dominated by courage and courage, as a result, without hesitation, they easily go to the aid of the weak and those in need in difficult situations.
Disappointments and grief will more than once accompany them along the path of life, in which case they are capable of recklessly leaving everything for some time and hiding in their hole. But after a short respite, they leave their hole, go out into the white light and continue to act. This is how they restore their inner strength. People who were born during these years are not called rats for nothing, because they are able to sense impending disaster, be it a flood, earthquake or fire. They also predict upcoming successful moments, such as winnings in gambling or lotteries, but what a pity that at the same time they often lose their heads from success and can suffer greatly from this, passing off what they want as the real thing.
Women who were born during these years are usually very diligent and caring creatures. It happens that they, forgetting what is actually in their closet or refrigerator, buy all the goods in stores in a row, but this happens for only one purpose - to increase stocks. Rat women usually have a well-developed imagination, framed by an amazing fantasy. Such women are not uncommon in the world of art, painting, journalism and show business; they can also be found among the elite of business society, politicians, in consulting and auditing companies, where their creative opinion is very important for the development and prosperity of enterprises. Often, experienced leaders of political forces or business networks listen to the advice of such outstanding personalities.
It often seems that such women are overly loving, even to the point of reckless relationships, but this opinion is superficial. In fact, hidden behind the appearance of a seductress is a realist with cold calculation and a sober mind, capable of deeply meaningful actions in order to obtain certain benefits for herself. Unfortunately, sometimes such women, using the path of least resistance, use close people in order to spend their lives at their expense. Also, sometimes such rat women, destroying the happiness of strangers, achieve short-lived benefits for themselves, even without any special intention of creating a home. It is a matter of honor for them to see such a thing through to completion, even if they know for certain that their mission is doomed to failure from the very beginning.
Oddly enough, with such a mentality, rat women find themselves an idol or an idol, worshiping which they find the role of an object of platonic love. Such romantic feelings and sentimentality are often observed in them, since it is in this incarnation that they manifest themselves most clearly.
Based on observations, there are two main types of female rats - introverted, withdrawn into themselves, and extroverted - open to communication. The first type usually has a small circle of acquaintances; they are rarely the first to make contact. They are also characterized by a demanding and critical attitude towards the world around them. Extroverted women feel great in a large company of their friends, whose company they really need.
Rat and Rat
In love, two rats will have an incredibly tender relationship - they will simply bathe in love and tenderness! Since all sorts of funny aspects of their obvious rivalry are possible, skirmishes and quarrels should be avoided. Is friendship possible between rats? Undoubtedly yes. But to do this, they will have to fight the temptation to do even the smallest nasty things to each other. They can also be excellent business partners; they will succeed in the form of employees and co-authors.
Rat and Ox
For a strong and successful marriage, a condition is needed under which the wife will have to be faithful and stand firmly on the basis of realism. To improve mutual understanding, the Ox will have the task of coping with his stubbornness, self-will and waywardness, and the Rat will need to add fun. The Rat’s peace of mind depends entirely on how the Ox will monitor him, because she always needs a sense of personal security. There are no interesting topics for conversation or conversation, so in a friendship they will not feel particularly alive. They are not entirely compatible in business relationships, because the Ox does not have the qualities of a business person, he is a simple worker, but sometimes he likes to give orders.
Rat and Tiger
Their relationship is completely unpromising, so marriage will be problematic. They have huge incompatibility of characters and the Tiger will constantly lay claim to unquestioning power in the family. They will also have problematic relationships in friendship, because the Rat in relation to the Tiger is expressed as a strong materialist. Well, for business relationships they are more or less suitable for each other, since both can be honest, both can earn money and live luxuriously. But still, in order to avoid any misunderstandings, all their profits must be divided in half, divided equally.
Rat and Rabbit
These two signs should still refrain from marriage, because the Rabbit will not be able to resist the huge temptation to devour his soul mate entirely (even when he has great love for his Rat), and she, in turn, will not really like such adventures. Between these signs, such a concept as friendship cannot exist. It will be dangerous for the Rat to be close to the Rabbit in business relationships, so they will not be business partners.
Rat and Dragon
For a marriage, these two signs are very compatible. But their marriage will be even more favorable if the Rat, who is madly in love with the Dragon partner, flatters him in everything and constantly. A brave, good sense of humor, courageous, strong-willed Dragon and an energetic, cunning and crafty Rat in a marriage will only strengthen their relationship. But the most important thing in their relationship is, of course, a huge carnal attraction and a rather important probable voluptuousness in both spouses. The friendship between them is also real. In a friendly relationship, the Rat and the Dragon will value and cherish each other, so this relationship can easily turn into a love one. For good business relations, a necessary condition will be for the Dragon to fulfill the responsibilities of the leader and the chief executive of the Rat.
Rat and Snake
Their marital relationship will not be entirely successful, because the Snake has such a quality as mystery, one can probably expect betrayal from it, which will have a detrimental effect on the Rat, for whom such an attitude can cause a lot of problems, disappointment and even tragedy. And only if the Snake can categorically refuse infidelity, their marriage can have the right to life. Since both signs love to chat, their friendship can exist, but it will start and last only thanks to this. They have very high potential for interesting business relationships, although they may only seem interesting.
Rat and Horse
It is better to refuse such a marriage immediately. At first, even passion and outbursts of emotions are possible in this union, but then it comes to squabbles and quarrels, as a result of which divorce is inevitable. These two signs are simply not created for friendship. They have completely different interests, so there is no mutual understanding between them. In business relationships, they will constantly have hostility, disagreements, and confrontations, so in order not to harm each other, it is better for them not to cooperate.
Rat and Goat
In this marriage, they will have everything in half. They have both the same character traits and contradictions. In addition, the Goat will be very closed to her companion. If the Rat is financially secure, then the Goat will be able to graze in the fields without fear and be completely satisfied.
Rat and Monkey
It is one of the most successful marriage combinations. Everything will be great for this couple, and they will be happy together.
