Year of the Rat

I don't know. I just became aware that my Chinese Zodiac is the Rat. The Rat? Is this a good thing? Why couldn't this year be something like the year of the Lion? The Rat? These are not clean animals people!!!!!!! However, I'm not going to take away from it. I just need to find out more about this.

That is why I love the Library. You can get so much information in so many different ways: atlas, encyclopedia, dictionary, fictional books, non-fictional books, Internet and last but not least LIBRARIANS!!!!

I found this piece of information on the Internet. Maybe being the rat is bad afterall.

THE WATER RAT 1912 AND 1972
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.
