Rats' fortunes in 2016 may not be flourishing like before, but there is also no big changes happening to them. They can accomplish their work with high proficiency, and it may bring them promotion or salary increase. What troubles them most is their sensitive and emotional personality, which may result in disputes with people around. Fitness is pleasant, but they should avoid high-risk activities.

Occupying the 1st and most prominent position on the Chinese Zodiac, the Rat symbolizes such character traits as wit, imagination and curiosity. Rats have keen observation skills and with those skills they’re able to deduce much about other people and other situations. Overall, Rats are full of energy, talkative and charming but they have a tendency to become aggressive.

Rats are full of good advice but they will never share their troubles with others. They are honest individuals and they enjoy living for the moment. They’re also capable of surviving any situation.

Thank you Sue and Vicky.
