Just like a rat you are extremely persistent & ambitious. Your ability to hide your anger and maintain composure is a valuable asset which makes you renowned for your charm & grace. Just as rats consume in small amounts you too are thrifty and always wish to build a nest-egg for the future.

On the negative side, you may be fastidious at times, and your love for the grapevine may cost you your friendship with others.
