Start fresh–it’s the Year of the Rat

    Happy Lunar New Year from Design Kompany 2008

    If you have a kid this year, he might end up a spy.

    Lunar New Year this week marks the official beginning of the Year of the Rat, or 鼠, according to the Chinese Zodiac.

    The Year of the Rat is thought to be a good year to start a new job, get married, or otherwise make a fresh start.

    Anyone born this year is considered a Rat, with similar character traits as people born in 1972, 1960 and multiples of 12 going further back.

    Some traits of people born in the year of the Rat, according to the Internet’s most trusted resource Wikipedia are…

    • Rats are usually highly exclusive and selective when choosing friends. They often have only a few very close friends whom they trust.
    • They have immense control of their emotions. Rats are masters of mind games.
    • Rats need to learn to relax sometimes, as they can be quite obsessed with detail, intolerant and strict, demanding order, obedience, and perfection.
    • Rats can find true happiness if they can develop their sense of self and realize it leaves room for others in their life as well.
    • Best friends and love interests: Monkeys (1992, 1980), Dragons (1988, 1976, 1964), and Oxen (1985, 1973…)
    • Professions include psychiatry, accounting, acting, and espionage. –Wikipedia on The Rat
