For the Chinese,we entered the Year of the Rat ! Does that mean that all the " Rats" will become rich in 2008?

Is that true ?

I am a "Rat" ( born in 1972), but I am not Chinese !
What is the meaning of being a "Rat" when we enter the Year of the Rat ?
Does it mean I will be very very lucky? That I will win the lottery ? That I will become rich? That I will find at last the woman of my dreams?

WHAT DOES IT MEAN EXACTLY ?

Give me some serious information about that, please ...

Thank you in advance, and Happy Chinese New Year !!

It has nothing to do with luck. It is a way to keep track of age.

no the chinese callendre/ new year or what ever is never something to trust

It doesn't exactly mean this is your lucky year. It just has some characteristics. The Rat is aggressive, charming, smart, courageous, family-minded, and easy-going. So suppose, you are to have those characteristics. Similar to horoscopes.

I myself is also born in the year of the rat and I'm a chinese. But this doesn't means that i'll be lucky on this rat year. It's like horoscopes that based on the observations of stars or some sought of things like that and its not 100% accurate. Whether you will be winning lottery or not is based on your luck and not your zodiac sign.

traditional chinese culture:you need to wear red clothes throughout your body,it helps you live in a lucky way

Year of the Rat predictions

1. Hilary Clinton will be the next US President. When she sees a rat, she will scream with tears in her eyes. Women will give her their votes because they also scream when they see a rat. Men will also give her their votes because they want to protect the fair sex.

2. Oil prices will reach $120 a barrel - because the rats steal too much oil making the supply tight.

3. The world economy will be gloomy - more people will be as poor as a church mouse.

4. There will be serious earth quakes as the rats are more active underground disturbing the earth.

5. There will be more break-in because of the more activities of rats (Chinese call thieves "rats") "You dirty rat you!"

IT MEANS THAT ITS THE YEAR OF THE RAT. NOTHING MORE -_-

No, it means the year of the Rat, if you are born of rat, then it is your year, but doesn't mean you will get rich as astrology isn't science, can't be trusted!

Well, it's just saying it's your year~!!! The rat is the first out of the twelve zodiac, which are rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, dog and pig respectively. It's probably used as a way to calculate and guess someone's age more easily. I'm a Chinese but I don't really listen to those fortune tellers; if they're so great they would be rich by now.

No, actually it means you'll be unlucky. It is called 鐘お姝?("Offending Tai Sui"). However, you can buy a pendant from a Chinese fortune teller that'll protect you from this.
