If you were born on December 1, 1972 you are a Water Rat. Rats are keen and unapologetic promoters of their own agendas. This
Sign is motivated by its own interests, which often include money; greed can become a problem if the Rat isn't careful to
keep its priorities straight. This Sign's natural powers of charm and persuasion can definitely come in handy! Although they
are often hoarders, Rats can be very generous to those in their "pack," namely friends and family members who have proven
their loyalty. Others might perceive them as quick-tempered and sharp-tongued, but never boorish. Verbal jousting is a great
pleasure for the Rat, a Sign that everyone around will quickly learn either to love or to hate.
Rats enjoy being on the outside looking in, as the outside affords a view into the inner workings of a system or situation.
The Rat's keen mind always seeks out new knowledge, to be stored away for future use. This ever-curious Sign also welcomes
challenges as a way to stay sharp. If boredom sets in the Rat is no fun at all, but that isn't likely; this Sign knows how
to keep itself entertained.
Rats are very lively and need a lot of mental and physical stimulation. They can be calm and perceptive, but sometimes their
brains can cause a mental restlessness, tempting them to take on too much, only to discover they are unable to meet their
commitments. Rats are blessed with one of the best intellects going. Add to their intelligence a curiosity and a bright imagination,
and they seem as sharp as a needle.
Being guided by the Water element means these Rats have a knack for influencing people. With their strong intellectual powers
and great insight, they are also great puzzle solvers. They are quick to understand others and are incredibly practical people.
Rats apply their talents to their everyday lives, making them obliging, generous and compassionate to other people. Generally,
they are liked and respected by everyone. Like all Rats, however, they can be determined to seek their own gain, and will
not mind using these talents to achieve it - though generally without losing anyone's respect in doing so.
Money-wise, the Rat is pretty much middle of the road. Changing free-spending ways could lead to financial security if they
are willing to make the effort. Their natural charisma attracts members of the opposite sex like wildfire, but Water Rats
often don't set their standards high enough and are quite indiscriminate in seeking love affairs, until they finally settle
down later in life. Once this happens, they advance pretty far exhibiting oodles of charm with their loved ones.

Dear Rat, be a bookworm, and you'll profit from the year well. Do you know that reading is for the mind what exercise is for
