Overview - This will be a difficult year for Rats. You may lose significant amounts of money and investments if they are managed carelessly. If you expect and demand anything this year, chances are that you will lose more than you stand to gain. It is best to be confident, clear minded and cautious.

Work - You will see success at work if you stick to your course and don’t ask for too much. You are the type of person that every organization needs to be a leader. However, you may not have enough manual skills and will need to learn more about the business and how it is accomplished. If you can see the big picture not for you but for everyone, you will have made a significant leap forward in your career and will be generously rewarded.

Money - Be very cautious with money this year, Rat. Your luck is thin and you could lose everything if you are not careful. Put your money in a safe place and avoid large expenditures until later in the year.

Health - You will enjoy good health all year with no sign of illness.

Love and Family - You will discover something new about your partner that will touch you deeply. You thought you understood love, and then suddenly it transformed itself and became less obvious and more beautiful. This revelation will be private and difficult to explain.

猫和老鼠是邻居，又是好朋友，它们都想去报名。猫说：“咱们得一早起来去报名，可是我爱睡懒觉，怎么办呢？”老鼠说：“别着急，别着急，你尽管睡你的大觉，我一醒来，就去叫你，咱们一块儿去。”猫听了很高兴，说：“你真是我的好朋友，谢谢你了。”
　到了报名那天早晨，老鼠早就醒来了，可是它光想到自己的事，把好朋友猫的事给忘了。就自己去报名了。 　　 　　
　结果，老鼠被选上了。猫呢？猫因为睡懒觉，起床太迟了，等它赶到时，十二种动物已被选定了。
　猫没有被选上，就生老鼠的气，怪老鼠没有叫它，从这以后，猫见了老鼠就要吃它，老鼠就只好拼命地逃。现在还是这样。 　　 　　
十二生肖的顺序是：鼠、牛、虎、兔、龙、蛇、马、羊、猴、鸡、狗、猪。 　　 　怎么让小小的老鼠排在第一名呢？这里也有个故事。
报名那天，老鼠起得很早，牛也起得很早。它们在路上碰到了。牛个头大，迈的步子也大，老鼠个头小，迈得步子也小，老鼠跑得上气不接下气，才刚刚跟上牛。老鼠心里想：路还远着呢，我快跑不动了，这可怎么办？
　它脑子一动，想出个主意来，就对牛说：“牛兄弟，牛兄弟，
