The Rat is the first animal sign of 12 Earthly Branches. According to the Chinese Five Element theory the Rat is in the Water group and connected to placid water, cold water or rain.

The Rat is Yin Water, the last element of 10 Heavenly Stem. It is connected to knowledge, memory, and learning. The Rat has a strong memory in learning and remembers the previous life experiences.
