A Rat's most obvious qualities are his charm, his intelligence, and his imagination. But unless they work on their defects, their aggressiveness, their individuality, and their insistence upon living only at their own rhythm will alienate people from them. Rats are clever and opportunistic workers, and don't work well in groups-- unless the group is dependent upon him. A Rat can be something of a spendthrift. The luckiest rats are born on a warm summer night; if a Rat is born in the winter, he will have to work very hard all his life to feed himself. Rats must absolutely have passion in their lives, and cannot live without it. They adore travel and the intriguing, and also have a penchant for wandering in places such as caves, grottoes, catacombs, caverns, and underground passages. Rats make good salesmen, writers, critics, politicians (of extreme parties), legal and financial experts, criminologists, dectectives, anatomical pathologists, doctors, anaesthetists, and spies.

The infancy, childhood, and youth of the Rat will work with few problems; however, their adolescence may often cause problems due to their extreme sexuality. A Rat's maturity will be more difficult; since they are engaged in financial difficulties, it will be a time of financial ups and downs. In old age, the Rat will be more peaceful. He can master and perhaps even shed his aggression and greed.

Rats are often anxious and tormented when it comes to their Love Lives. A Rat's emotional life is never simple, since he is subject to mad attractions, inflamed liasons, and excessive emotions, which often frighten people away. While an egoist in his social life, in love, a Rat is capable of unlimited generosity. A happy Rat is bound to be faithful, in a deep and passionate way, but the commitment is fragile. A failure in complicity or a disappointment or disagreement might ruin it, and he would look elsewhere for love. Sexually, Rats are passionate, enjoy a variety of pleasures, and don't lack imagination.
