Ascendants of the Rat
The ascendants below are related to the Chinese Lunar Sign of the Rat. Each period of time during the day corresponds to a different Chinese horoscope. So, although it is the Rat’s individual choice on which path he will take in life, there may perhaps be other “inner voices” which will influence him. These “inner voices”, “other self” or “inner struggle” comes from their conflicting ascendants.
11PM – 1AM: The Rat Hours
You are very charming, perceptive and a proud person occasionally. You are also openly inquisitive and loves attention. You will excel in being a lawyer, writer or reporter and will easily pick new things up. You are famous for your dry humor and sharp wit. However you can also be domineering and demanding so you will need to keep your ego in check if you don’t want to scare your friends and workmates away.
1AM – 3AM: The Ox Hours
You are a serious Rat that will like things slow and steady like the Ox. You will still maintain your charisma but will be less of a risk taker. You will also tend to be more homely and less adventurous than the other rats and will be very strong-minded and will go far with strength and intuition. You will not be easily deterred from your pursuits and will succeed in your endeavors.
3AM – 5AM: The Tiger Hours
You are an overachiever. You are quite insatiable and will always try to strive for more. You will also find it hard to hold on to your money and will be more generous compared to other Rats. You will also be a more colorful character that people will find interesting to be with. The world is a stage, especially when the spotlights are on. You like to perform and will shine on stage or in films.
5AM – 7AM: The Rabbit Hours
You are a very soft-spoken Rat with very good taste. You are also very diplomatic in approach and very calculative and ambitious but signs may not be seen until it is too late. In other words, nobody can read your intentions yet you have many ideas in your mind.
7AM – 9AM: The Dragon Hours
You are a very big hearted Rat and may sometimes be overly trusting. You will also be less covetous than the others and will also have leadership capabilities and will most likely gain wealth and power. You are generous but will be prone to making disastrous money-related decisions. Having the Dragon as your ascendant will prove to be advantageous.
9AM-11AM: The Snake Hours
You are a very charismatic and intelligent Rat that will be loved by many. You are also very secretive and introspective and will value privacy and will not open up easily. You also have a lot of sex appeal thanks to the Snake’s influence. It is not easy for others to read you, and you will always be an enigma to the people surrounding you.
11AM-1PM: The Horse Hours
The Horse Rat will be very attractive but will also throw caution to the wind. This will also cause your love life to be turbulent but will be successful in your careers or fail in them. You must learn to exercise restraint if you want to succeed in your endeavors, in both your love life and also in your work.
1PM-3PM: The Sheep Hours
You are a very sensitive but caring and loving Rat and you have good taste. You will also be able to make good investments and can easily persuade others to do what you like. You are also a very opportunistic person who will always get things done your way. However, the Sheep in you will be sentimental – perhaps a little too over sentimental.
3PM-5PM: The Monkey Hours
This Rat will be a very crafty and resourceful one, but a less sentimental one and more inventive and creative. You are a natural problem solver that will always have a solution for every situation. The Monkey in you means that you will find every trick in the book and the Rat in you will not hesitate to use it to achieve your means.
5PM-7PM: The Rooster Hours
You are a perfectionist Rat that will continue to increase your capabilities and alertness. However the Rooster’s influence will cause this Rat to not be thrifty and they will not be able to save much money even though the Rat side will try to save up money. This Rat will also be quite generous in spending and overconfidence will be their main enemy.
7PM-9PM: The Dog Hours
You are very fair minded and unprejudiced but will be forever torn between your morals and your lust for money and power. You are also very outspoken and critical. You would most probably end up being a writer with authority, something like a book writer or journalist of sorts – any way to get your point across to the masses.
9PM-11PM: The Pig Hours
This Rat is most easily taken advantage of and is generous from all sides but will have lots of friends and will be envied by many people due to that. You will always be surrounded by people who will love you unconditionally as you are able to give the same unconditionally as well.

This helps me to know what I need to improve and also to understand other people’s characters to that easy for us to work with them, be understanding and help each other to improve. I’m a Rat born during Rooster hour, overconfidence is what I should look into it.
We always stuck and said why this person behave this way, why they do not understand us, but this horoscopes help me a lot.
I hope everyone feels the same too.
