Supercharming but also a bit conceited. Wonderful homebody and a good writer.

Slow plodding Rat with a serious outlook. Still dominated by Rat's appealing ways but his gambler instincts are curtailed by the Ox's caution.

Agressive and bossy, an overachiever. All will be well if he can save his money -- which the Tiger in him will resent.

May be docile and soft-spoken but his calculating ways will be increased. The charm of the Rat coupled with the Rabbit's astuteness will be hard to defeat.

Rat with expansive ways and a very large heart, sometimes too large for his purse. He will give you a loan and regret it afterward. The Dragon's strong will and the Rat's money-making talents will make him very successful in business.

Will have hoards of admirers. He will worm his way into your pocket as well as your heart. The Snake in him makes him wary of hidden dangers. He is a bit sly.

Dashing but daring Rat who will take many risks in life. The fickle-minded ways of the Horse may also make his love life turbulent. He will either be riding high on a wave of success or on the brink of bankruptcy.

Too sentimental. However, you may find his money-grabbing ways greatly tempered by good taste and refinement. Since both signs here are opportunistic, he will be adept at currying favors from those in power.

Very enterprising combination. He knows every trick in the book and won't hesitate to use it. With the Monkey's influence, he is less sentimental and will also have a fantastic sense of humour.

Extra intelligent and capable. But, oh so smug! The Rat in him is busy saving money while the Rooster side comes up with grand designs on how to spend it. He could redeem himself by applying all his administrative qualities to running a business with someone else's money.

The Dog in him tries to be fair-minded and unprejudiced, while the Rat's basic craving for wealth is gnawing away at the Dog's noble conscience. Still this combination could turn out a writer of great authority or a journalist / philosopher with an acid pen.

This Rat will hate carrying the Boar's scruples inside him. It makes him hesitate when he could take advantage of ideal situations. HE may end up being a do-gooder who gets no thanks unless he gets smart.
