The Chinese Zodiac Calendar
Chinese Zodiac– Year of rat
People born during the years of 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996 and 2008 according to the Chinese calendar (exact days on the western calendar vary) are under the influence of Rat. A typical Rat is always energetic, sociable, smart and witty. You know how to present your best image for others, and people surely enjoy your presence very much. You are also full of imaginations, and very curious about all things around you. Sometimes, however, you might appear to be egocentric and stubborn.
As a Rat, you are extremely meticulous and organized. Others might not like to work with a perfectionist, but you like to stick to your principles. Smart as you are, you can always achieve your goals. You are also alert and observant, knowing the best timing to grasp opportunities. You are very suitable for jobs that can enable you to exercise your imagination, such as marketing, advertising, art, creative writing, etc. The standard nine to five office jobs are not the best fit for you. One reminder for you is, try to ask for advice for important decisions since sometimes you seem to be very indecisive.
If you are thinking about investment or starting your own business, go ahead as long as you choose the right industry. Your have very positive career prospects. A promotion might even occur soon. But remember to cherish your current opportunities before you look for the next one. Your overly-active personality could sometimes harm you.
