The element of Fire gives a sign added determination. Fire signs are the doers of the Chinese zodiac and often have compelling personalities. The Fire Rat certainly has much in his favour, with his earnestness and good people skills being assets that will serve him well throughout his life. During the Tiger year he will have the chance to use his strengths, but he needs to be disciplined. Scattering his energies too widely could affect what he is able to achieve. The Tiger year requires focus.

In the Fire Rat’s education, he needs to stay well organized and concentrate on what has to be done. Working steadily throughout the year will not only allow him to fare better but also to learn more. In addition many Fire Rats will be introduced to new subjects or skills, and by applying themselves and working at these, they could discover certain strengths they will be keen to develop in the future. Educationally, this can be a positive and interesting time, but to benefit the Fire Rat needs to be committed and make the most of his chances.

This also applies to his interests and recreational pursuits. If there is a skill that he wants to learn or improve on, he should find the time to do so. In order to get results he will need to be disciplined and concentrate on what he wants to do, even if this may mean cutting back on other activities. But the effort he makes can reward him well.

There will also be a good chance for the Fire Rat to get to know others over the year, especially through his interests, and he may appreciate a special friendship and some lively and fun times. However, while socially the year will see some good times, a certain care is needed. If the Fire Rat should find himself involved in activities or high jinks he has misgivings about, he should follow his better judgement. Similarly, if he has concerns over any matter, whether educationally or personally, rather than dwell on it by himself he should talk to those in a position to help and advise. Fire Rats, do take note and remember that support and advice are available to you.

Many Fire Rats will also have the opportunity to travel during the year and whether their trips are connected with their studies or a holiday, they can add some excitement and interest to the year.

As far as the Fire Rat’s domestic life is concerned, he needs to be open and communicative. Those around him will often be keen to encourage and help him, but to benefit he does need to be forthcoming. If he is also prepared to contribute to home life, he can generate a better understanding with his loved ones and enjoy more as a result. Again, it is worth the Fire Rat making the effort. Whether in his home life, his interests or his school-work, the more involved he is, the more he can benefit.

For Fire Rats born in 1936, this is a year for deciding on plans and carrying them out. If the Fire Rat lets himself get distracted, there is a risk that chances could slip by and he could find himself not able to make as much of the year as he would like. His ideas could concern almost any area of his life—perhaps modifications to his home, hobbies and projects he wants to pursue, travel or some other area of interest—but by giving some thought to what he wants to do and putting in the effort, he can enjoy some satisfying times. Also, sharing thoughts with those close to him can lead to more happening as well as to offers of additional support.

Another factor in the Fire Rat’s favour will be the way he keeps himself informed. This can lead to hearing of opportunities or offers that are ideal for him or benefits that could help his present situation. This is a year to be aware and open to possibility.

Whether born in 1936 or 1996, this can be a rewarding year for the Fire Rat, but it is one requiring effort and discipline. However, if he focuses on what he wants to do, makes the most of the support of those close to him and seizes his opportunities, he will often be pleased with the results his efforts and diligence can bring.
