Rat Libra wins the love of others at first sight. Lovely, charming and polite to everyone, regardless of their true relationship to man.

Communication and friendship
Since the Fire Rats are very mobile and love novelty, they make new acquaintances very simply, but not everyone is worthy to enter the circle of the closest people. The attention and admiration of those around them is very important to them, so they are often great storytellers, readers or participants in all kinds of events.
Charming, which is well known. With the help of their charm they can control people. If you do not enter the circle of close people, then be prepared that the Rat will use you.

One of the main difficulties in communication is rat sarcasticity and its inability to restrain harsh criticism. This makes her a straightforward, but sometimes unbearable interlocutor.
Professional field
Purposefulness and passion for hoarding make her climb as high as possible up the career ladder. For the sake of profit, representatives of this sign are not shy to use any means. The reason for this lies in the fact that for the Rat self-realization in every area of life is very important.
She uses her developed mind both as a way to achieve promotion honestly, and as the main weapon for intrigue in the workplace. Exposure to emotions makes her commit rash acts, which can nullify all previous successes.
Love and relationships
Love is the only weak point, because under the influence of emotions, representatives of this sign lose their heads, and for the sake of their love they are ready for anything. They are not used to controlling themselves and hiding emotions, so be prepared for the violent manifestations of passion and for attacks of wild jealousy.
Family and Children
The rational mind of the Rat tells her that in a house full of children it is impossible to optimally distribute her time, so she prefers to plan her life in advance. From the outside it seems that she is a tyrant, but in reality she is trying to make her life and the life of her family more comfortable.
Rats are wonderful parents who teach children life wisdom by example. As a result, their children very quickly become real support to their parents. The rat is very caring, but it will never begin to restrict the freedom of the child, since it itself does not endure control.
She is gentle, generous and generous to her beloved spouse, striving to surround her family with maximum comfort.
Compatibility
Rat - Rat - one of the most difficult, but passionate combinations. Their union will have a lot of emotions, passion and jealousy. At first, everything will be gentle and romantic, as if they would meet a soul mate, but over time, inconsistencies of characters that no one will smooth out will emerge, and each such encounter will end in a scandal.
Such love rarely goes into marriage. This union was created in order to look at themselves from the side.
The Rat - Bull Union is very favorable. They are able to understand each other perfectly. An imaginative Rat needs the peace and support that the Bull is able to give without ridicule of its fears. He is very serious, collected and respects the boundaries of another's personal space, not trying to control his partner.
Tandem Rat - The Tiger can be complicated by the instincts of the Tiger, which needs new victims.

The union is possible if the Tiger refuses to flirt and ridicule, and the Rat learns to restrain his emotions.

The rat does not trust Rabbit, but considers himself able to outwit him, therefore he is not worried about the occurrence of rivalry.
Rat - Dragon - a very favorable union, which is complicated by the Dragon's desire for admiration and worship.

On the whole, the Rat admires the mind and vision of the Dragon and is ready to do anything for it. In turn, the Dragon will be very pleased with such worship.
The Rat and the Snake are one of the strangest alliances for love and relationships, but a good combination for friendship. They appreciate each other and value communication. They adapt quickly, are smart and prudent, but the Snake is used to shocking others, and the Rat, although it attracts attention, makes it more elegant. For the Snake, fidelity is a relative concept, and this cannot but hurt the feelings of the Rat.

The rat, however, does not understand why, after a romantic period, there is no such emotional continuation, it becomes closed and aloof.
Rat and Rooster are absolutely incompatible. Although they have various positive qualities, they do not notice them in each other, seeing only flaws.
