According to one legend, the Rat was the first in a race arranged by the gods to settle a dispute among the 12 animals over who should come first in the cycle of 12 years. Another legend says that when Buddha summoned all the animals in the kingdom to his side, the Rat was the first animal to arrive followed by the 11 others.
People born under the year of the Rat are generally known for their shrewdness or intelligence. They are aggressive and achievers who seek to be movers and leaders. Some people born under the year of the Rat may seem calm on the outside, but on the inside they are as much a bundle of nervous energy as the more obviously restless Rats.

The quick wit and organization skills of the people born in the year of Rat make it possible for them to finish more tasks than most people. The Rat are perfectionist and have very stubborn streak that makes them often insist that they should live by their own rules.
Though often sociable, charming and charismatic, the Rat are actually choosy with friends and will only confide to closest pals. They Rat are also very loving and they treasure those close to them. At first, the Rat seem distant and guarded because by nature they are very protective of their feelings and it may seem to be hard to get through them at first. They are also not very romantic lovers. But the Rat make up for it by being sensual, loving, and loyal.
