Overview
The Water Rat is intelligent and very perceptive with the benefit of knowing many great skills and putting them to use whenever possible. They are deep thinkers who will express their thoughts visibly and convincingly
which can help them out in hard times. The Water Rat is always eager to learn new things and is very talented in many different aspects of life which will help them out a great deal if they can apply themselves to one thing at a time as they will be able to accomplish a great deal when using their skills both in work and home life.
The Water Rat is an intelligent, observant, popular person who loves to attend parties and social gatherings at all times. They may have a fear of loneliness which can lead to them getting involved with the wrong group of people that they would connect well with.
Relationships
People will feel relaxed in the presence of a Rat as they make friends with the greatest of ease and are able to keep a conversation at a high point. People often feel happy to take a Rat’s advice and opinions constructively. Rats are generally great communicators although they can sometimes be a little careless by being quite critical about others to their face; if you want an honest unbiased opinion then the Rat is perfect for this, but do not fear if you are a Rat as people will be prepared to forgive you due to your bright and alluring mannerisms.
Throughout their long and exciting life, the Rat will make many friends and will find that they are especially suited to other Rats and Ox’s, Dragons and Monkeys, they can also get on well with Tigers, Snakes, Roosters, Dogs and Pigs; the sensitive Rabbit and Goat will find the Rat a little too critical and blunt for their liking.
The Horse and Rat will also find it difficult to get along with each other; the Rat craves security and will find the Horse’s unpredictable moods and rather independent nature a little upsetting. The Rat is very family orientated and will do anything to please those closest to them. They are exceptionally loyal to their parents and can be a very caring and loyal parent themselves.
Career
The Water Rat is a particularly skilful writer which can help in their career if they are involved with a career like journalism, creative writing or something similar.The Water Rat has a tendency to get sidetracked very easily in different tasks and would really benefit from trying to concentrate on one thing at a time before moving on to the next task. The Rat is a very hard worker and will always use their ability, imagination and quick thinking to their advantage in the workplace. There are times when a Rat may lack confidence, this will affect how they put their ideas across in the workplace and this can often stop them from receiving the recognition they deserve.
Many Rats have made excellent journalists and writers and also excel at personnel or public relations work and any other job that involves being around people and the media. This is due to the fact that a Rat’s skills are appreciated in times of crisis; the Rat is an extremely resourceful character and is able to draw amazing powers to take it through the worst possible situations. The Rat will always want to be around a busy environment where there is a lot of action, if they ever find themselves in a restrictive environment they can become a perfectionist for regulation and everyday routine.
Finance
The Rat is an entrepreneur and will constantly be on the lookout for ways in which he/she can improve his/her lifestyle and wealth and will hardly ever let an opportunity pass by. Another attribute of the Rat is their attitude to money, the Rat is very thrifty and to some he/she may appear mean, the reason for this is because they like to keep their money within their family. The Rat is generally very generous to their partner, children, relatives and close friends. The Rat often finds it hard to deprive themselves of any luxury object they desires so they can often be generous to themselves.
The Rat hates waste and is rarely ever prepared to part with old rubbish around the home; this can cause clutter which can be very bad around the home. The Rat can be very greedy and will rarely refuse an invitation to a free event.

Married to an Ox for 29 yrs. Lots of water in my eyes due to my empathic nature. My Ox is less emotional and twice as strong as me in that way. I feel deep and love hard. Family doesn’t fully understand me. My Ox doesn’t care to. She knows she and my kids and grandkids are the center of my existence. My Ox knows when she calls I’ll come running. And I’ll love it because I need to be needed.
I swim fine through the currents of my life…how can I help you?
No water in my eyes except a few times in my life but hey who doesn’t. Sometimes I see so much I feel alien but what a gift! I have everything I need and more.
I’m the same so observant and intuitive it’s unreal
You think i play smart? But of course! i am a water rat after all. What else! <3
You killed me slowly. What about water rat’s love life? nothing, huh? i thought so.
Also, those people have a lot of water in their eyes. I bet you did not know that.
