Even if no one in the environment believes in their success, they will do without support. In a sense, universal denial even provokes the Rats: they will go ahead, will use all new tools to achieve their own goal.

These are good interlocutors with whom it is not boring, they are cool to joke and will be interesting for a long time.

These are emotional and open-minded people who are often disturbed by self-will. Only the interlocutor or the woman is fascinated by the male Rat, as he is stubborn, clings to little things and it is impossible to argue with him. In love, they are open to experimentation, they love challenges and provocations, they are able to arrange them themselves. In youth, men of this sign are in search of an ideal. It’s just that the woman doesn’t like them: and if something is missing by the standards of the Rat man, he may forgive her. But all the same, it will remodel "for itself."

They have an interesting appearance. And even if the Rat is modest by nature, she knows how to present herself. Character and temperament leaves its mark on appearance. Not always self-confident, they are prone to shocking.

To balance, a male Rat cannot be deceived. When he is confident in his irresistibility, he begins to make mistakes. Light doubts will keep him in good shape, they will make a person more penetrating, attentive. In this state, he has developed analytics, he calculates steps and makes no mistakes. But a man convinced of ideality begins to do frank stupidity.His “blows the roof”, the error follows the error, it is hard for him to stop.

In work, he is ready to be the best, and he has a lot to do.

If he feels that the work does not bring him pleasure and does not become a resource for him, he will leave it without regret. The Rat man has a flair: if things are bad at work, he will feel it before his colleagues. If there is a thunderstorm in the family, he will not wait for its beginning, he will react first. If the partner deceives him, he will quickly figure it out. In the family, this man will be a good friend, faithful and reliable, but you should not expect special romanticism in marriage from him.

But the female Rat is not without male features. She is decisive, businesslike, in a difficult situation she can get together and not panic. This is an energetic sign, a woman will think about fatigue only when everything is over: in the process of the most complex and energy-intensive business, she is maximally assembled, active, productive, and works tirelessly.

For all its moral ideals these women are real materialists. They do not mix these two spheres, they are able to accept, and without a twinge of conscience they accept expensive gifts. They become truly generous only in relations with loved ones. If an expensive gift is directed towards not the closest person - this is a calculation.

These are optimistic, outwardly bright women, whose merryness, however, may conceal nervousness and even self-doubt. They are afraid of a situation where uncertainty will become noticeable when they become vulnerable. Therefore, Rats are thrifty, they know workarounds, lay straws and do everything to not stay with nothing.

They can pass the exam better than others because they have learned everything by heart. For example, they themselves are not able to do something outstanding - to write a poem or a picture. But they will learn everything to the smallest detail, will understand poetry and painting better than many.

Among the Rats there are many who others call arrogant. The woman herself does not consider her determination and perseverance to be arrogance: just as long as the rest are delicate, she takes her own. Moreover, thanks to her ability to chat with her, she will pretend that the situation is outside her power. A contradiction also arises in the scale of values: often rat women are the best analysts, advisers. They can decompose the situation of a friend in such detail, so precisely, that one does not need to go to a specialist. But they show less rigidity to themselves, allow them to shift moral standards when it comes to them personally.

This child sincerely loves his family, he is attached to her and will not exchange her for any friends. But it quietly coexists with a sense of possessiveness well developed in the Rat's child.

If trouble happens with their relatives, they do not spare efforts to help. In the family, they value loyalty, but if they are disappointed in a partner, they are capable of treason. And this is not a one-time action, they look at a new partner, try on, plan a possible transition to a new family. And they often repent of it, because the spouse is a person whom they once loved very much, they put a lot of effort into building relations with him.
