The Rat

     A person under the Rat sign is said to be versatile and indefatigable. A Rat is probably the only loony in the world who'll attempt to swing a tennis racquet, play a violin and read a book all at the same time. Of course, if he'll hit the ball, strike the correct strings or understand the story is a totally different matter.

   Wherever they are, Rats always make it a point to appear calm, cool and col­lected. Confronted by great odds or im­pending danger, Rats project the image of complete self control. But don't let looks deceive you. Underneath the re­served exterior is a wildly thumping heart and a pair of wobbling knees.

The Male RAT

The male Rat is extremely shrewd and detailed, particularly in business. Don't close any deals with Mr. Rat for he's likely to tell you a bunch of lies without batting an eye. Occasionally, he will take a gamble, especially if the right opportunity exists and if the odds are worthwhile. To him, this means a good astrological prediction and waking up on the right side of the bed.

Mister Rat is equally cunning on matters of the heart. He can be extremely charming, suave, and gallant. But watch out. He can't take emotional disappoint­ments well.

The Female Rat

.    His counterpart, Miss Rat, can be a compulsive temptress. You'll probably find her walking the streets in frilly, see-through dresses, with plunging neck­lines. Her favorite pastimes are watching X-rated movies and reading romantic (erotic) novels.

Miss Rat is also opinionated. She thinks that her resolute views are always right. She regards the rest of the world as the minority with the wrong ideas.

Generally, Rats are sociable although they prefer to mingle with their own crowd in exclusive clubs. Don't think that Rats are snobbish though. They can be very generous, especially when you least expect (or need) it.
