       I am the self-proclaimed acquisitor
       I  am a link yet I function as a complete unit
       I aim at encompassing heights
       And strike my target
       Sure and steady.
  
       Life is one joyous journey for me.
       Each search must end with a new quest.
       I am  progress, exploration and insight.
       I am the womb of activity.

       I am the Rat.

The charm of the Rat personality is as universally known and loved as the Walt Disney character Mickey Mouse. He could be forthright and honest but in such a disarming manner that you find yourself at a disadvantage.

Remarkably easy to get along with, hardworking and thrifty, he will be generous only to those he is inordinately fond of, so if you get an expensive gift from him, you should certainly rate yourself high in his esteem. However, inspite of his penny-pinching ways, he will never be found wanting for admirers as he emits such fantastic appeal.
