Born in 2008: the Rat
A Yang Earth Rat 🐀
Rats are sharp observers who spot an opportunity before anyone else and act on it. They are thrifty, sociable, and quick to solve a practical problem. As a Earth-element year, 2008 adds a grounded, practical and patient streak to the usual Rat character.
The 2008 lunar year ran from February 7, 2008 to January 26, 2009. If you were born on or after February 7, 2008 you are a Rat; if you were born earlier in 2008, you belong to the previous year's sign, the Pig.
