What does the Year of the Rat mean for Western astrological signs?

Chinese New Year, also referred to as Lunar New Year, is the festival that celebrates the beginning of a new year on the traditional lunar calendar. It is usually referred to as the Spring Festival in mainland China. And it is only one of several Lunar New Years in Asia, like Vietnamese Tet.

Observances traditionally take place from the evening preceding the first day of the year to the Lantern Festival, held on the 15th day of the year. The first day of Lunar New Year begins on the new moon that appears between January 21 and February 20. In 2020, the first day of the Lunar New Year will be on Saturday, January 25, initiating the Year of the Rat. More
