The Rat has yet another very good year to look forward to throughout 2012, which is great news. Career and those in business for themselves will find that they quickly boost their career to a new level as long as they do not read this advice and decide to take a lazy approach and are sure to make themselves heard in the workplace.

Rats looking for work may find that their luck is taking a turn for the better as long as they are quick to approach the employers; this could lead to fast advancement within the company in 2012. There will be some amazing opportunities in 2012; you need to keep a very close eye on your spending in 2012. This year should be used as the year of saving for upcoming events like birthdays etc. and also saving for long term like a retirement fund or a big purchase that has to be made.

2012 will turn out to be a very sociable year for the Rat, especially with the fast paced year of the Dragon. The Rat will find that they have the ability to easily impress people and get along well with new people throughout 2012.

Single Rats can expect exciting times for romance this year especially those born in 1924 and 1984 (wood Rat) and even expect wedding plans, if you are a married or committed Rat you should be careful not to neglect your partner as with a successful year this can easily happen so make lots of time to spoil them. Overall, 2012 will be a superb year although you need to be careful with your health, make sure your diet is good and you drink plenty of water as problems with the stomach may occur particularly if you are a water Rat born in 1972. Make sure you leave time for yourself and try to relax more as stress can be an issue and you may feel down at times, whatever is on your mind right now it WILL pass and you are on or soon will be on the right path. Romance will be good for Rats born in 1984 but do not take things for granted.

Rats born in 1924 should be prepared to take rest when possible in 2012 and those born in 1960 need to be careful with their diets and be sure to get plenty of exercise in 2012.

Younger Rats born in 1996 should be prepared to put a lot of time in when studying as the amount of effort you put in now, affects you in later life.

Enjoy your year and remember they are not as bad as you think, give a little leeway on your side too, if you don’t know what I am talking about you will soon.

As a Rat you are in affinity with the Ox. For your protection, you should have a key chain/pendant of an OX with you at all times throughout the year in 2012.
