Rat (Mouse) 1936 1948 1960 1972 1984 1996 2008		Yippee! Rats will have a very lucky and prosperous year. You may even enjoy magnificent career prospects, especially if you were born in 1948 (there may be a promotion ahead). All Rats - especially female Rats - looks like they'll be able to overcome all obstacles and push their way through to fame and fortune. If you're a married female Rat, you'll really be able to help your husband in his job this year. You'll do even better if you ask for help from others. Rats do best when they're in a crowd.
GENERAL		You are ambitious yet honest, prone to spend freely. (I don't anyhow spend!) Seldom make lasting friendships. (That's not me either...)
WORK		There will be many opportunities for you to outperform others and show your talent, especially If you were born in 1948. This is a lucky year career-wise for Rats born in 1960 as well. Everything will go according to plan, and your dreams will be fulfilled - if you put aside your pride to ask for the help of others and heed advice given to you. If you were born in 1984, your teachers may be amazed at your witty and clever remarks! (Amazed at me getting zero marks!) Stay humble (especially male Rats) - no one wants to help an arrogant Rat!
MONEY		The only down side to your year is your financial fortune. Because you are doing so well at work (and in love), you'll be tempted to spend, spend, spend! Try to control this impulse think ahead and save for the future. Rats born in 1936 should keep your eyes on the budget, or risk financial loss. For Rats this year, short-term investments are more profitable than long-term ones. (I'll take not of that..)
HEALTH		Any sustained illnesses will have a chance of recovery. Rats should watch what they eat and pay special care to the liver and kidneys, particularly those born in 1924 or 1972. (*Haiz*, less french fries already...)
LOVE and FAMILY		Married couples will enjoy a close and happy married life. Single Rats, especially those born in 1960 and 1972, will have lots of admirers - and the end of the year (near 2000) is a good time for you to get married. But don't rush - it's better to marry the right person later than to marry the wrong person sooner, but forever. If you were born in 1924, you may feel lonely sometimes. Don't be shy about being friendly to family and pals - they'll enjoy your company.

WOOD RAT Horoscope Feb 5, 1924 to Jan 23, 1925 Feb 2, 1984 to Feb 19, 1985 Rat People are so charming and attractive they are always surrounded by friends and admirers. They can also be lone tumbleweeds, seldom making lasting friendships. Known as Perfectionists, they never want to lose face. It takes an understanding friend to get them to "put on the dancing plumes." Rat people have vivid imagination and are known for creating extraordinarily magic moments in time. Not surprisingly, the sensitive Rats have the gift of insight and clairvoyance, so you better watch out what you think around them! Rats enjoy being leaders and pacesetters and usually enjoy extraordinary success in life. Hearty Bean Soup is one of the keys to good health for a Rat!! Wood rats don't care about firecrackers and whiz-bam-boom special effects. Still waters run very deep! Somewhat introverted and shy in social gatherings, Wood Rats nevertheless make a big impact when it comes to career, finance, and entrepreneurial projects. A big ego keeps this one focused on the big picture, talking only when necessary to make the next move. The enterprising Wood Rat knows and lives the rules in human dynamics: compromise, flexibility, "playing it by ear," the Golden Rule, and generosity. In the Love Boat, don't expect the Wood Rat to whisper a lot of sweet nothings; again, still waters run deep. They don't need words, they ACT their love, showering affection, kindness, and respect on their loved ones, who love them in return.
