2020 is the Year of the Metal Rat, according to Chinese astrology. It is the first sign of the zodiac wheel in the lunar calendar and those who are governed by this animal are characterized by being extremely meticulous, intelligent, sociable, hard-working people … but also excessively ambitious and sometimes a little selfish.

However, this rodent also reminds many of the plague and the diseases that are usually caused by being animals that live in pipes and tunnels and that feed on waste. And in these moments in which humanity lives the scourge of the coronavirus, some wonder if the pandemic is already in the cards.

In the Lower Middle Ages, humanity was subjected to the yoke of the bubonic plague, the first pandemic to shake the known world and which took the lives of thousands of people. This disease is caused by transmissible zoonosis, a disease of rats and other rodents that can eventually be spread to humans through their fleas.

"In reality, the rat does not mean anything like that in the Chinese Horoscope," the psychic and astrologer Víctor Florencio, better known among his millions of fans as El Niño Prodigio, assures People en Español. "It is where the wheel of the beginning of the year begins. And what does the rat come to propose? Big changes, radical decision-making. It is a new cycle that began on January 25 of this year. It is the beginning of a new decade: 2020 and the beginning of a new lunar cycle."

"Besides," continues El Niño, "he is the first of the animals in the 12-year cycle. The energies are renewed to leave behind all those energies that do not let you advance. The rat was the first animal to reach the Buddha. That is why we started the cycle with the rat in the Chinese New Year. It is a new beginning. It is very clear: the Universe is telling you. The world is organizing for the good that is to come."

"Some are born, others unfortunately are dying," he explains in the face of the tragic news that arises because of the pandemic generated by COVID-19. "It is time to pray and take care of ourselves and say 'After all this happens we are going to initiate a change to restructure ourselves both inside and outside."
