Yes， 2025 (the Year of the Snake) is generally a favorable year for people born in the Year of the Rat to start a business.

Here's a breakdown of the career prospects and what to consider:

Overall: The Year of the Snake brings strong positive momentum for those born in the Year of the Rat， especially in career and finances.

Stars: Favorable stars like "紫微" (Zi Wei)， "龙德" (Long De)， and "玉堂" (Yu Tang) bring opportunities for career advancement and recognition. These stars enhance career prospects and increase helpful people， such as colleagues who offer encouragement and assistance.

Business: For those in business， 2025 is a year of steady income growth. The "玉堂" star symbolizes wealth and prosperity. However， it's essential to create detailed business plans at the beginning of the year to act swiftly when opportunities arise.

Job: Those who are employed can expect to be valued at work. If Rats work diligently with a strong sense of responsibility and attention to detail， opportunities for promotion and salary increases will come one after another.

Adopt a steady financial management strategy and focus on expanding stable income sources.
