    The Rat Energy

    First of the twelve, the Rat won the Great Race by riding on the Ox's back and leaping ahead at the finish. Rat people are clever, adaptable, sociable and quick to spot opportunity. They are thrifty and practical with a sharp memory.

    The Water Influence

    Water is winter's stillness and stored power: intuition, wisdom, communication and adaptability.

    How to Work With the Year

    A Water Rat year blends the Rat's quick-witted, resourceful and charming nature with Water's themes of wisdom, depth and flow. Lean into those qualities, and watch for the shadow: anxiety, opportunism and a tendency to hoard or gossip when insecure.
