The Rat - Energetic and Ambitious
Years: 1912, 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996
Unlike its lesser liked and earthly version, a rat in the Chinese horoscope is an
extremely hard-working and ambitious animal. Another positive feature of this four
legged and often misunderstood creature is that it is intelligent, an opportunist and
very family orientated. The rat is always careful with its money to the point of ultra
cheapness! One key rat weakness is that it is rather emotional and loses its temper very easily.

The Ox - Patience is a Virtue
Years: 1913, 1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997
A person whom falls under the sign of the Ox is an extremely strong minded and patient
person. However, this strong mindedness can often boil over to stubbornness and they often
have a strong independent streak. Such is their individuality; they often seek to gain
extreme positions of power whereby they do not have to share responsibilities. They are
however very loyal to their close friends and will do anything for them.

The Tiger - Fierce yet Sensitive
Years: 1914, 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998
Tigers are sensitive, deep thinkers yet they are also ambitious and often confident individuals.
Like a normal earthly tiger, they can transform from being calm to being extremely short-tempered
in an instance; aside from this slight character flaw, they gain the respect of others very easily.
Their strong sense of independence means that they are often high achievers whom want to be the
best at everything; thus they are often noticed in the public arena, and as such tend to rise
to positions of great importance in a short period of time. Tigers make extremely generous
friends whom care about their loved ones and will go great lengths to help a friend in need.
