    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.

    Shadow

    Anxiety, opportunism and a tendency to hoard or gossip when insecure.

    Love and Work
