I think there's a lot more to your relationship in fact anything than just astrology. You are very angry at this stage and I can understand that, but perhaps you should take a step back when you have cooled down and able to see the situation objectively.

Ok deep breath. Now the truth. Mind you this is coming from a Leo serpent guy. Serpents are wizzes at astrology and generally wise. Also not terribly good with horses but it's ok I'll be straight with you. Beside the hassle of the relationship breakup, you need to chill out this year of the earth rat. It's not your best year. The ascendant in the goat/cat is also not great. Both are not on the Rat's cavalcade of stars.
The year of the rat is not good for horse and goat. In straight terms you need to get with people who are right for you. Also take elements into account. Compatible elements in eastern astrology are a big deal as well as the sign/ascendant thing.
YES monkeys are manipulative. Where do you think the term, monkeying around comes from? What about the saying "you dirty rat!" These are all western terms to describe eastern astrological ststes. Oh and my favorite "snake in the grass". (Which is me) ;-)
Seriously you need to look at aries Leo or Sagittarius tigers horses or dogs. Preferably with compatible elements. Everything else can be totally right but if elements are not right its all wrong. There is more but this will get you started on the road to understanding the eastern side which you need to know about. So check out this page!

The Rat is the chinese equivalent to the sagittarius sign even though they are not the same at all.

Rats have a tenacity about them and can be seductive but also terribly machiavellian and ruthless in their ways to achieve what they want.

Camren Electra is born in the year of the rat and she's cheating on her current husband right now (although its rumours but they're probably true) so like Sagittarians, fidelity is not that important to them.

A girl I'm working alongside is born in the year of the rat. When I found out, I suddenly realised stuff about that held true and decided (being a Wood Ox) nothing will happen and I'll ensure that too.

Hope that helps a bit

what are your DAYS?? i know hour is important, but so is the day.
they say rat and goat/sheep don't mix. rat is too manipulative and can be exploitative.
as per western astrology, u guys are both Fire Signs so that was fine.

I think I read someone saying snakes are bad for you, but snakes can actually be compassionate towards goats.
ox probably don't want to hear goat's woes. I think the 3rd and 4th trine animals suit you - tiger, horse, rabbit, pig.

But again, I think your Day is important b/c it represents who you are, as well as your hour.

Sheeesh~

No offense but this post makes me SICK.

And I just had to comment and try to put some truth out there so that other [rats and horses] who read this this post- who ARE in an awesome relationship - don't believe all this crap being written in here. I think there's too many generalities being made about the rat. For example I see that (Luke78) has written "I am going to stay out of any rats way for good." When I read something like that it doesn't make sense. Why would you just because you had this one bad relationship with a wood rat girl? and so you decide to stay out of the path of other rats male or female, that's pretty prejudice and just plain ole' ignorant. Not all wood rat women or men are bad to other horses. I'm not even going to get into how you describe us rats (I'm also a female wood rat). You basically make it sound like were assholes, and I'm only and asshole when I need to be. LOL! I also think it's also funny how you tried to connect others signs that get along with rats such as ( ox, monkey, dragons) and link them to US and go on about how your going to stay away from those signs too?

I mean SERIOUSLY DUDE- WTF. LOL

Obviously this is all just in your OWN experience of a relationship gone bad between a rat and horse. All throughout this post there's no need to bash or talk down about Horses and rats being together. Personally I've read TONS of magazines where people talk of the joy of being with their rat partner-or horse partner. And it made me smile. I too am in love with and Earth horse guy and he's the most special man to me, and he feels the same too. Just the other day I was watching a shopping program on tv and they were selling a zodiac plaque and the lady that was selling it was a horse lady and she couldn't stop talking about her horse husband! So all in all NOT every horse and rat relationship is bad. So reading threads like this just hurt.

So any who's a rat or a horse don't listen to the CRAP being written in this post!

I LOVE HORSES :)

Other than that true we shouldn't all base our relationships just on Horoscopes/Chinese Zodiac like the first poster says in this post- It's more like looking at the entire birth chart or just the aura of connection intimacy you have with a man or women that astrology can't really describe. I'm glad to be the opposite sign of a horse btw- they don't call us opposites for nothing- there will always be a great potential connection between the two regardless of what anyone says.

Peace!
