----What animal sign were you born under? ----I was born in the year of the Rat. Rat(Born in 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008.): You are imaginative, charming, and truly generous to the person you love. However, you have a tendency to be quick-tempered and overly critical. You are also inclined to be somewhat of an opportunist. Born under this sign, you should be happy in sales or as a writer, critic, or publicist.
