2020 Chinese Lunar Year of the Rat ‑ Prosperity

Those born under the Chinese lunar sign of the rat (2020, 2008, 1996, 1984, etc.) are said to be influenced by the primary traits recognizable in the normal activities of rats in nature. These traits include being highly adaptable, extremely resourceful, smart, and generally amiable. Such traits are reflected to some degree in those born under this sign. As they are developed, the outworking of the traits may lead to greater prosperity and wealth in their lives.
