The rat is often known as the sign that brings material wealth. Hoarding and saving away becomes easier when there is more to be found. However, the rat is an opportunist in that way and can often be found where there is war, famine, and other strife.
Truly knowing how to get things and how to use what s/he has, the rat can be very practical and useful. Even using people falls under the rat’s knowledge, but this can be taken too far into manipulation. The rat needs to be careful of ego and of using others.
And yet, that is all part of the rat. With lines kept firmly in check, the rat’s ambitions and intelligence along with his/her practical nature can get the rat far in the world. If the rat in your life isn’t enjoying wealth and material gain right now, you can be well assured that s/he is working on plans to get there or even executing the plans right now.
