Rat Chinese Horoscope

The month of January brings Rat natives the I Ching hexagram of fire over earth (35).

You’re extremely noticeable this month. You’re standing out from the crowd. Trying to hide will do no good. You are on stage, whether that’s in front of a few people or the whole world, so take advantage of this opportunity. Be prepared. Know what you want to say. You could end up getting a standing ovation.

The full moon is on Monday, January 13. Energy and tempers are running high at home. Rat, you might be rushing to finish a project while settling disagreements among family members. You could be drawn into an argument quite easily. This might extend to relatives who live outside the household but who still have very strong opinions.

The year of the wood Snake begins with the new moon on Wednesday, January 29. Rat, you’re ready for a new beginning in the area of friendships and connections. Over the course of the year, this is a good time to get involved in community organizations, attend hobby groups, and do some professional networking. Booking up your evenings and weekends for a couple of weeks isn’t a bad thing, and it could bring you many new acquaintances and a few new friends.
