The Chinese Rat zodiac sign is also known for their hoarding habits, packing away things until a time of need, and being able to survive under difficult conditions. They are flamboyant, and known for their excellent taste and expression of style.

Chinese Rat Zodiac Sign – Strengths:

The Chinese Rat horoscope sign is known to be tidy, carefully grooming themselves, their food, and their environs. In general, those born under the Year of the Rat are clever, and the careful management of their resources tends to leave them materially secure.

Additionally, Rats are sociable and witty, winning people over with their cleverness and sheer social charisma. When presented with a problem, their curious and thoughtful nature can lead them to find sensible solutions.

Chinese Rat Zodiac Sign – Weaknesses:

Chinese Rat star sign qualities are not all good ones, just like any animal sign. They are also well-known for their timidity and inability to concentrate under stress. This lack of courage makes them ill-suited for any form of leadership position. In fact in that position, their timidity can lead to poor decision making, if they can bring themselves to decide at all.

Like a Rat at a feeder bar, they can be easily drawn in by their alcohol addictions and private interests. The benefits of frugality and resource hoarding turn into a vile trait in the out-of-control rat. And they will profess their avarice to be a benefit to them.

Chinese Zodiac Rat – Male Personality Traits:

The male rat personality is typically a charming man, debonair, and clever. He is physically pleasing, though his appearance will bear some semblance to that of the rat. A reduced cranium size, high cheekbones, narrow and hollow cheeks, a larger head, and a pointed chin, yet all composed in a way that pleases the eye. They are graceful and slender as a rule, and are adept at those activities that involve grace and agility.

The Chinese zodiac rat man is decidedly mechanically inclined, his hand-eye coordination is exceptional. His work ethic is excellent and he will sometimes be prone to overworking himself. For all that, he is blessed with robust health. It is good to keep after the Rat Man. His tendency to ignore real existing health problems is well-known.

Chinese Zodiac Rat – Female Personality Traits:

Rat women have a certain something, that bit of magic that draws the eye. They don’t tend to be classically beautiful, or the very sign of model beauty, but their charm is beyond compare. Their energy is bright and addictive, drawing others in with their magnetism, and tend towards tomboyish tendencies a bit. Like the rat-men, her features are angular, almost elfish in their narrowness.

The Chinese Rat zodiac female’s most distinctive feature is bound to be her pointed chin, which can make her appearance seem somewhat sharp and angular. Their figures tend to be slim, showing their grace in their dancer’s form, though a love of food and comfort can lead to a certain rotundity later in life.

The part of the rat woman’s health that is important to maintain is her nerves, she could be said to be very nervous, living on her nerves. Maintaining the health of her nervous system and stress levels is important to her overall existence.

Chinese Zodiac Rat – Career:

Chinese Rats excel in the world of business. When it comes to negotiation a Rat knows what they want, and how to convince others to get it. Their intuition gives them the edge to know what buttons to push to use their negotiation skills to where they want it to end.

The Rat Chinese star sign is well-suited for the planning stages of a project but isn’t as well-suited for the follow-through. They perform best when working independently, but even then they tend to let their projects slide a bit when it hits the work phase.

Chinese Rat As A Boss:

Rat makes a good boss. They’ll be gracious, encouraging, and friendly. They perform best in those situations where their charisma will be an asset. They are loyal to those who perform well and will be generous with rewards and promotions to the same. Their one failing is a deep enjoyment of verbal jousting. Those who can’t take their playful banter may find themselves with hurt feelings.

Chinese Rat As A Co-Worker:

Rats can make a deeply valuable member of a team, helping to coordinate and keep morale up. They excel, however, when allowed to work independently and take ownership of a task to which they’ve been set.

In Chinese astrology, the rat’s ability to charm and persuade makes them an excellent front in a sales situation. But transparency of what they’re working with is important, as they enjoy understanding the inner workings of a situation.

Chinese Zodiac Sign Rat – Money:

The Chinese Rat zodiac sign likes the comfortable life and has a tendency to extravagance when spending, but is adaptable enough to deal with any financial situation. Part of this is their tendency to have a nest egg stored away, and the security that brings.

The drawback to this habit is a tendency to be greedy and hoard above their needs. The Rats have the idea that greed is a valuable asset to them. This is not a default state of the Rat, but one who has lost the vision of a broader situation can turn inwards and become selfish.

Dating A Chinese Zodiac Rat:

Chinese zodiac Rats make excellent dating partners, as they are loyal and gregarious. Their charm can bring you in and make you feel like the only person in the world. They will be generous to those they love, enjoying showering gifts and luxury on those who have taken their interest. You won’t have to concern yourself with them being disloyal, as it’s against their inner nature to do so.

The Rats’ biggest failing is a tendency to thriftiness depending on their situation. For all their tendency to buy gifts, a Rat gone to the bad will instead be deeply controlling in financial matters and can be downright cheap in these circumstances.

Chinese Zodiac Rat – Love:

The Chinese Rat zodiac sign has a strong tendency towards being sapiophile. Nothing will get their fire up as quickly as a partner with a brain. They love to talk, to fantasize, and to dream. A loving partner who can meet them on this ground will find an imaginative and curious lover.

They’ll explore every delight with their partner, and their tendency towards stealth makes them the masters of sensual debauchery. The Rats seek a partner who is playful, gregarious, and preferably curious without being adept.

This then allows the rats to show their lover the way through their sexual underworld. They do tend to promiscuity if they are without a dedicated partner. But when they are in a committed relationship they will be only theirs.
