The Personality of the Rat
According to legend, when the Buddha invited the animals of the kingdom to a party, the Rat was the first to show. And Rats certainly like to be at the forefront. Active, sociable and born under the sign of charm, they make popular company.
They are also quick to latch onto opportunity. Wherever they are, they like to make the most of their situation. In conversation they engage with others, find out information and invariably make an impression. If a member of a group, club or indeed workplace, they like to be involved and play their part. They also have a good way with words, including persuasive skills. Their observant nature allows them to appraise situations and they are worth seeking out for an honest and unbiased opinion. They also make superb critics.
