the rat

Rats are hard working, thrifty, even avaricious. They are impulsive only if their calculations indicate the possibility of a gain. Material values are very important to rats and they take great care with their possessions. They are slow to offering their friendship, but when they do, it is long term. They yearn for a numerous family, offering them certainty and stability. They are slaves to conveniences and to their schedule of life, which they respect strictly. Their formalism is pregnant; aesthetics is very important to them and natives are lovers of arts; they have innate talents for drawing, painting and music. Rat natives are very gathering; they have a nostalgia for old, memory charged objects. They are natural born archivists and collectors, being very thorough; with them, everything is in place, labeled and ordered with precision.
They have an inclination to gossip and never-ending small talks. Their critical spirit is very developed but they should learn to use their qualities in order to create something, not only to express their opinion on what others have done.
The sentimentalism of the rats is of legend and in intimacy they prove to have sensitive, delicate souls, inclined to poetry and romanticism.
