1936, 1996 Chinese Zodiac: Fire Rat
© KarmaWeather by Konbi - All rights reserved
If you were born in 1936 or 1996, the annual pillar of the Fire Rat corresponds to your main Chinese zodiac sign.
Let us remember in preamble that the Chinese lunisolar calendar being based on the lunar cycles, the dates of the Year of the Fire Rat are different from a year of the Gregorian calendar (see below the exact dates of the Fire Rat Years).
In Chinese astrology, your date of birth can be broken down into four pillars of destiny (四柱 命理 学) or Ba-Zi (八字). Each pillar of destiny is associated with an animal and a Chinese element and corresponds to one of the periods of your birth (year, month, day and hour). If you were born at a Rat Hour, a Fire Rat Day or during a Fire Rat Month, each of these periods also corresponds to a pillar of destiny. The four pillars of the Fire Rat share the same imaged destiny, which you can discover further down the page.
Furthermore, if your year of birth is 1936 or 1996 and the Fire Rat is therefore your 1st pillar of destiny (your main Chinese zodiac sign, which is the one corresponding to your personality and your relationship to the world and with others), then all Fire Rat Days and Months, as well as the Chinese Hour of the Rat, are lucky times for you.
Find below the list of the annual and monthly dates of the Fire Rat's Chinese calendar, as well as the hours ruled by the Rat. Then discover the personality and characteristics of the Fire Rat, his lucky talismans (color, number, stone, fragrance), his Chinese birth chart (energy composition) and his love compatibility with the 12 animal signs of Chinese astrology.

Fire Rat among the 5 Rat types
In the Chinese horoscope, each animal sign combines with one of the 5 elements of Wu Xing and Feng Shui. The Fire Rat therefore associates the Earthly Branch of the Rat with the Heavenly Stem of Yang Fire. Since the Rat is a Chinese zodiac sign of Yang polarity, the elements linked to it always appear in their Yang expression: Yang Wood, Yang Fire, Yang Earth, Yang Metal or Yang Water.
This combination gives the Chinese zodiac sign of the Rat a more direct, warmer, but also harder-to-channel intensity. The Fire Rat keeps the Rat’s tactical intelligence, while adding a flame of passion, independence and movement. Where other Rats observe for a long time before acting, they may leap forward with a mix of panache, impatience and faith in their own luck.
For each Rat associated with their Heavenly Stem, the pillar of destiny also helps understand the imaged destiny linked to their birth year. In the case of the Fire Rat, it highlights anticipation, transmission and the difficulty of aligning the enthusiasm of intentions with the patience required for achievement.
