DID YOU KNOW
Legends abound how the tiny rat became the first sign in the Chinese zodiac when the Lord Buddha summoned all the animals. Many claim the Rat hitched a ride on the kind and helpful Ox, and jumped off at the last moment to get there first. While the Horse was arguably a faster option, some legends claim the high-spirited Horse refused to cooperate, or was too polite to race ahead of the others.
Lucky symbols for Rat people include the numbers two and three, the colours blue, gold and green, as well as the lily and African violet.
The Rat is happiest with the Dragon, Ox or Rabbit, and will achieve great things when teamed up with the Dog or Monkey. The Rat lacks patience when dealing with the Rooster and will never get along with the fiery Horse. It?s the polar opposite of the Rat?s water element.
