Chinese astrology is based upon a combination of yin and yang; the five elements of fire, earth, metal, water and wood; and the 12 animals of the zodiac. A lunisolar calendar is followed, dictated by the rhythms of the solar system.
Elements of the month: yang fire and water
The 11th and penultimate month of the Chinese calendar is represented by the Fire Rat, bing zi.
The rat relates to survival, resilience and caution.
This month is all about exercising self-control to avoid unfortunate outcomes. As the Western year comes to an end, it is time to welcome new energy and prepare to make 2025 a year of opportunities for personal growth. There will be plenty of unknowns that may cause significant changes for many; the key to success is always having a plan B.
Remember, no matter what troubles you may face, always try to help others along the way, and work together towards your respective goals. When you are doing well, remain focused and always show gratitude. When the tides are against you, hold onto your dreams and grit your teeth. Success will come.
In traditional Chinese culture, those born under the sign of the rat are highly playful and active, especially late at night when they become alert. Attentive and highly creative, they are usually first to show up at any event and are associated with a pioneering or entrepreneurial spirit, strategy and invention.
Born in the Rat year: Active, intelligent and quick to spot the potential of any situation, Rats always eager to get projects up and running, believing completely in what they are doing. Meticulous organisers, they always have a plan – and a backup plan, should things go awry. People born in the Chinese Year of the Rat treat others fairly and expect the same in return; they are deeply offended if their trust is abused. When dealing with a Rat personality, never corner them or push them into a situation they do not want to be in.
