The Rat
Years: 2020, 2008, 1996, 1984, 1972, 1960
You are the Rat, first of the twelve signs, and you wear that head start well. Quick-witted and endlessly resourceful, you read a room before anyone else has taken off their coat. You notice the opening, the shortcut, the useful person, and you move on it while others are still thinking. Charm is your quiet superpower. People warm to you fast, and you use that warmth kindly.
Underneath the sparkle sits a careful strategist. You gather, you save, you plan for the lean season, because you truly hate being caught short. You can be a touch anxious and a touch guarded, slow to fully trust, quick to worry. Yet with your inner circle you are loyal, generous and deeply affectionate. Adaptable and alert, you thrive on variety and rarely stay stuck for long.
In love you are attentive, playful and loyal once you commit, though you guard your softer feelings until trust is truly earned. You show devotion through small practical acts more than grand speeches.
At work you are ambitious, shrewd and brilliant at spotting opportunity before the crowd does, which makes you a natural entrepreneur and dealmaker. With money you are a careful saver who rarely gambles on what you cannot afford to lose.
