1912, 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008The Year of the Rat (February 2, 2008- January 25, 2009) marks the beginning of a new cycle of the Chinese lunar calendar. Each year of the 12 years in the cycle is named for an animal - Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Ram, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Boar. According to legend, the animals raced across a river to determine their order in the cycle. The rat crossed the river by riding on the back of the ox, jumping ahead at the last minute to win the race.
People born in the year of a particlar animal are said to share characteristics with that animal. You are imaginative, charming, and truly generous to the person you love. However, you have a tendency to be quick-tempered and overly critical. You are also inclined to be somewhat of an opportunist. Born under this sign, you should be happy in sales or as a writer, critic, or publicist. Some Rats: Charlotte Bronte, Truman Capote, Catherine I, Mata Hari, Wolfgang Mozart, William Shakespeare, George Washington.
