Black Rat (壬子)
In a word: The Winter Sea
The sea in midwinter. Deep, cold, and without end.
Wise, a big vessel. Sees far, thinks deep, reads the large currents. Unmoved by small things.
Free and independent. Won't fit anyone's frame; goes its own way. Blocked, it goes around — and with nowhere to go, it overflows.
This is the free part of the Black Rat reading. The full reading — the rest of the text, strengths, what to watch for, where people born on the same day diverge, every 10-year period, this year and next — is $13.99, one-time.
Black Rat: Water over the Rat. The day you were born gives you one of sixty pairs like this — the stem (壬, Water) is who you are; the branch (子, Rat) is the ground you stand on.
