Year of the Rat Personality & Fortune

Rat (子) is the first of the 12 Chinese/Korean zodiac signs, anchored in Water element and midnight winter energy. People born in Rat years are quick-witted with an unerring eye for opportunity.

Small but smart and adaptable, the Rat instinct is finding an escape route first when crisis hits. Self-made wealth is a recurring pattern.

Strong financial fortune — but over-caution can delay big decisions, and Rats sometimes judge people too quickly.

Generous with close friends, cool toward outsiders. Career strengths: finance, IT, analysis, consulting — anything requiring sharp thinking.
