Horoscope Compatibility: The Rat
If you're born in the year of the Rat, you're an attentive and passionate partner who's not afraid to show your affections.
Your emotions are highly charged at the start of a relationship and you expect your affections and emotions to be reciprocated.
You're easily hurt if you feel you've not been included in your partner's plans. You may then turn petty and could be difficult to handle.
Hence your relationship may be turbulent, with many highs and lows.
What you need is someone who can give you the security and love you need and you'll be a wonderful and faithful companion.

When two passionate people come together, it may seem like the entire universe revolves around the two of you.
You enjoy the intensity of the relationship as you both share a sense of humour.
However the two of you may be so similar that you begin to get on each other's nerves over time. When that happens, one of you or both of you may become resentful and you start picking on each other's faults.

Both you and your partner appreciate each other's need for privacy. You are astute; your partner is sensible. Your partner adds stability to the relationship that you need.
Since you are the more passionate and spontaneous of the two, you'll be the one more likely to spice up the relationship.

As you're always up for a new challenge, and your partner is easily bored by day-to-day routines, the two of you share a need for constant change and stimulation.
However your partner is likely to be more adventurous than you, which may be rather unnerving to you at times.
You may be uncomfortable with his or her carefree approach when you're trying to maintain a committed and stable relationship.

Your partner is more cautious and reserved than you are, and may have difficulty keeping up with your drive and energy. He or she may not be adept at dealing with your unpredictable nature and your mood swings.

Both of you expect loyalty and commitment from each other although your partner may take a longer time to commit.

Both of you will initially be won over by the thrill of romance and nothing else seems to matter.
After a while, though, you're likely to pull back. Unlike your partner, who may be so exhilarated by the relationship that he or she may forget his or her responsibilities, you'll still be keenly aware of the practicalities of life.
Your partner's total involvement in the relationship at the expense of everything else may concern you. And you may respond with sharp criticisms that are hurtful.
For this relationship to work, you should hold back your criticisms, especially if your criticisms are not constructive. And your partner needs to calm down and address his or her responsibilities beyond the relationship.

Keeping up with your drive and energy will be a challenge for your partner. Although both of you are romantic, your partner has a more laid-back attitude while you're determined to make things work within the shortest period of time.

Both you and your partner's personalities generate energy and excitement in the relationship.
Both highly competitive in nature, the two of you may engage in game play. This should be kept in check for the relationship to grow healthily.
Your passion and intensity may be too overwhelming for your partner who needs to feel he or she is in control at all times.
For this relationship to work, you should allow your partner some space, and he or she in return, needs to be more honest and less manipulative.

When you first encounter your partner, you may get an impression that he or she is quite superficial because he or she enjoys being in the centre of attention and in socializing without getting into in-depth discussions.
You need to get pass this first impression and you'll be pleasantly surprised to discover that your partner's wisdom, honesty and openness.
Both are highly critical and will appreciate each other's keen judgement.

The care and affection your partner shower on you are exactly what you look out for in a relationship.

Using Your Lucky Direction To Attract Love
Different Feng Shui schools of thought have different ways of defining the Romance sector of your house that you can use to attract Mr. or Ms. Right into your life.
We've talked about using your Chinese zodiac sign and the Green Dragon White Tiger sectors in previous posts.
There's yet another way to define your Romance sector and that's based on Eight Mansions Feng Shui. Under this school of thought, there are four auspicious and four inauspicious sectors in your house based on your Kua number.
By activating your Yan Nien sector, you'll be able to attract love into your life.
To do so, you can position the stove in your house to face your Yan Nien direction. So if your Yan Nien is East, you should position your stove to face East.
Of course, it might not be easy to relocate your stove. There are other ways to activate the sector, including sleeping in your Yan Nien sector, placing a vase of fresh flowers or rearing fish in that sector.

Love Blossoms Despite Being Miles Apart
A long distance relationship is often described as challenging. You're unable to see each other on a frequent basis; you miss out on the physical intimacy; and both parties need to trust each other a great deal.
If you find yourself caught in this situation, you may like to use Feng Shui to help sustain your long distance relationship.
What you need to do is buy a musical box, preferably made of wood, and present it to your partner.
Ask him or her to place the musical box at the Southeast sector of his or her bedroom. To enhance the effect, you can also get your partner to present you with a musical box too and you should also put it in the Southeast sector of your bedroom.

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
There's actually more than one way to locate your Romance sector and we've previously talked about locating it using your Chinese zodiac signs.
Another way, based on classical landscape Feng Shui, is to employ the help of the White Tiger and Green Dragon sectors of your house.
If you stand at the center of your house, facing the front door, the Green Dragon sector is the wall to your left and the White Tiger sector is the wall to your right as shown in the picture below.

The Green Dragon is a Yang (masculine) sector and the White Tiger is a Yin (feminine) sector. If you're trying to attract a man, you'll need to activate the energies of the masculine Green Dragon sector. If you're trying to attract a woman, you'll need to activate the energies of the feminine White Tiger sector.
Once you've located your Romance sector, you can use fresh flowers to help you activate the sector to attract the love of your life.

Activating Your Luv Spot
After you've located your Romance sector in your house, it's time to activate the sector.
Flowers are often used to activate the Romance sector. There are a number of things you need to pay attention:
1. The vase must be filled with fresh flowers and clear water. You should not have an empty vase.
2. Only fresh flowers should be used. No synthetic flowers. (That would have made things so much easier, wouldn't it?)
3. Ideally, display 4 stalks of flowers.
3. Choose flowers with vibrant colors and without thorns. Never use black or white flowers.
4. Pay attention to the color of the vase.
If your Romance sector is in the East or Southeast sector (belonging to Wood element), you can use a green vase.
If your Romance sector is in the South (belonging to Fire element), you can use a purple or red vase.
If your Romance sector is in the North (belonging to Water element), you can use a black or blue vase.
If your Romance sector is in the West or Northwest (belonging to Metal element), you can use a white or gold vase.
If your Romance sector is in the Southwest or Northeast (belonging to Earth element), you can use a yellow vase.
Should the thought of changing water and flowers regularly not excite you, there's always a lazier solution.
You can get a pair of mandarin ducks and place it in your Romance sector.
A pair of mandarin ducks symbolizes marital bliss and should do the trick too.

Locating Your Luv Spot
If true love has been eluding you, you could increase the chances of meeting someone you fancy by activating the Romance sector in your home.

For those of you born in the year of the Rat, Dragon, or Monkey, your Romance sector is in the West.

For those of you born in the year of the Rooster, Ox, or Snake, your Romance sector is in the South.

Locating The Auspicious And Inauspicious Sectors Of Your Home
According to Eight Mansions Feng Shui, every house can be divided into eight sectors - four auspicious and four inauspicious. Where these eight sectors are located in a house is determined by the Kua number of the head of the household.
Once you have your Kua number, you can find out which are your four auspicious sectors and which are your four inauspicious sectors.
The next step is to get hold of the house's floorplan that's drawn to scale. With a compass, determine the directions and draw a pie chart like the one illustrated below:

You'll then be able to identify the four auspicious sectors and your four inauspicious sectors for the family.

Love & Romance Tip #1: Have No More Than 2 Chairs In A Couple's Bedroom
If you're married or if you're living with someone whom you enjoy a committed relationship with, you should make sure that there are no more than two chairs (or couches) in your bedroom.
Since your bedroom is the premise where you spend your most intimate moments with your partner, it should be furnished for just the two of you.
Having more than two chairs in your bedroom implies that there are third parties in the relationship. There may be a tendency for either one of you, or both of you, to feel insecure about the relationship. You could also be easily jealous and overly suspicious.
