Chinese Horoscopes - The Rabbit
By: Lovegevity
The Rabbit
Rabbits are private
individuals, a bit introverted and withdrawn. People e born into this sign
would rather work behind-the-scenes instead of being the center of
attention in any situation. Do not misunderstand…the Rabbit is not a
recluse. In fact, he is a reasonably friendly individual who enjoys the
company of a group of good friends whether at a business dinner or a
holiday party. Rabbits just like to be a part of the gang as opposed to
the leader of it.
Years
of the Rabbit
Rabbit Years are
fourth in the cycle, following Tiger Years, and recur every twelfth year.
The Chinese New Year does not fall on a specific date, so it is essential
to check the calendar to find the exact date on which each Rabbit Year
actually begins.
THE SIGN OF THE RABBIT
Rabbits, like their
animal counterparts, are quite calm people who do not exhibit aggressive
behavior and will avoid confrontation at all costs. When angry about
something, a Rabbit will approach it calmly and considerately, hardly ever
raising his voice or becoming visibly annoyed. Because of their serenity,
Rabbits seem to miss things, whether they are confrontational in nature or
not. However, the Rabbit is quite keen and pays close attention to the
situations developing around him. He is intelligent and quick and can talk
himself in or out of most situations with no problem.
The Chinese Rabbit is
one of the most stylish creatures of the Chinese Animal Signs and finds
interest in different cultures. He is classy and sophisticated, and can be
found adorning one of the latest fashion magazine cover looks. Rabbits
also like artistic ventures, such as painting and music and are generally
quite present in these worlds. They love top express themselves, which is
evident when joining them at home for a function or a cup of coffee.

IN YOUR ELEMENT
The characteristics
of the Rabbit are tempered by one of the five Chinese elements of Metal,
Water, Wood, Fire and Earth overlaying a 5-year cycle of characteristics
on the original 12-year cycle.
THE METAL RABBIT
1951 AND 2011
Metal gives Rabbits a
more resilient demeanor than the other more quiet Rabbit. These Rabbits
are very ambitious and can be quite crafty in their dealings with others.
They throw themselves and their emotions into everything they do, making
them intense lovers, but not outwardly affectionate lovers. Their
determination can affect their work as well, whether through personal
relationships with colleagues or with the work itself, a Rabbit can be
known to immerse himself in his projects…business and personal.
THE WATER RABBIT
1903 AND 1963
Delicate and docile,
Water Rabbits will pretty well go with the flow to avoid any conflict or
argument. These situations hurt them and bother them because they are such
sensitive creatures. They are usually sociable and relaxed, although
sometimes they get withdrawn and introspective. They are supportive with
family and friends as well as business partners and display an empathy
that makes people flock to them for friendly advice and comfort.
Sometimes, they can easily be taken advantage of because they are so
generous with themselves and their emotions. So they have to be careful
not to let their guards down so quickly.
THE WOOD RABBIT
1915 AND 1975
Wood Rabbits tend to
be the least bit indecisive. This is probably due to their always wanting
to play the peacemaker and not wanting to hurt other people’s feelings.
Wood Rabbits are incredibly generous souls and like to avoid the spotlight
instead preferring to live amongst others. These people are always kind
enough to help you move into a new house, make you a hot cup of coffee or
to listen while you rant and rave about your latest character flaw. The
Wood Rabbit can sometimes be too kind for his own good, thus causing him
to be taken advantage of and sometimes even used by others unknowingly.
Rabbits have to learn to say no and to out their feet down or their cups
will overflow.
THE FIRE RABBIT
1927 AND 1987
Fire adds an unspoken
magnetism and mystery to the Rabbit. These creatures have a burning desire
to get out there and live life to its fullest. They are active and
adventurous and love anything that sparks their creativity or curiosity.
They can throw tantrums here and there, if provoked, but most of the time
they work very hard to avoid conflict or unpleasant confrontations. Fire
Rabbits are charming and tend to push their emotions into the backs of
their minds, but will speak up if necessary.
THE EARTH RABBIT
1939 AND 1999
The Earth element
gives these Rabbits a sense of reality and practicality that others don’t
illustrate so freely. They are able to give sound advice, which in turn
gets them respect and trust from those who solicit their counsel. They
take pride in their homes and work diligently to make them a place of
security for their loved ones. In the same breath, Earth Rabbits put a
great deal of value on material comforts and like to make money.
HEALTH AND HABITAT
HEALTH
Rabbits are apt to be
sensitive to ailments and to have bad allergies. Stress or conflict will
detriment the Rabbit’s health. Exercise could take off unnecessary stress
and strengthen the Rabbit’s physical condition, but he tends not to work
out regularly. Rabbits have to learn to incorporate more action into their
everyday routines.
AT HOME WITH THE
RABBIT
A Rabbit will become
depressed and withdrawn if his home does not consist of beautiful
possessions that make him comfortable. They are extremely organized and
the best way to throw a Rabbit off is to remove something from its sitting
place. They are so orderly and their homes and offices so clutter-free
that it is sometimes a point of humor with their friends. Rabbits are
modest in their decorating choices and choose different shades of green
such as sages and turquoises.
CAREER AND FINANCE
THE RABBIT ON
THE JOB
Rabbits have really
good communication skills and are best utilized in positions of
management. They make great teachers and PR people because they are so
diplomatic and well-organized. Even so, they can also make great painters
or musicians due to their sense of beauty and their love of creativity.
MONEY AND THE
RABBIT
Rabbit people are
usually relatively careful when it comes to their finances. And that lucky
rabbit foot didn’t just come out of nowhere…Rabbits are pretty lucky folks!
They use much of their money for possessions such as their homes, cars or
furniture. They would rather invest their money in gadgets and things than
in the stock market. They love hunting for antiques, arts and crafts and
will tend to make sound investments in these types of things.

VACATION

find inner peace. Sensitive and careful by nature they would be just as
happy shopping for hidden treasures at the local flea market or yard sale
to display in their delicately decorated homes. Rabbits tend to want to
travel to traditional places such as Europe and Asia when they have time
off. In addition, taking a course to release their creative energies such
as photography or instrument lessons would make the Rabbit feel
well-rounded and accomplished.
FRIENDS AND ENEMIES
Rabbits, although
outgoing, are definitely not the leaders of the pack or the spotlight
thieves. They like to be associated with a group or a club, where they
find comfort in the company of others. Rabbits just happen to be
low-profile people. Perhaps this is because they tend to be rather picky
about who they pal around with. Rabbits love their friends and offer them
all a warm refuge and a sympathetic shoulder to cry on. They enjoy
catching up and hanging out more than anything.

RABBIT PARENTS
AND BABIES
Many Rabbit people
have large families. The Chinese say this is due, in part, to them being
the sign of fertility. Despite the record-breaking number of children any
Rabbit person may have, the happiness of his partner and family is
essential to his own well-being. Although they love their children
intensely and take care of them quite affectionately, sometimes Rabbit
parents can come off as looking uninterested or distant. Still, Rabbits
are so defending of their children that they often appear strict and
overbearing.
When their children
are little, Rabbit parents will dress them in cute little outfits and will
insist they act mild mannered and politely. Rabbits often find themselves
wrapped around the tiny fingers of their kids and will do anything for
them, too make them happy and to keep the peace. Rabbits despise arguing
with their children, as conflict makes them quite uncomfortable, and they
will avoid it at all costs. Rabbits will always be there for their
children and will help them even as they grow and mature. They find
themselves there for their kids throughout their lives.
RABBIT INFANT
AND CHILD
Young Rabbits are very
sensitive children. They tend to let their emotions get the best of them
and will cry with no remorse. At school, these children often get teased
for being so sensitive and become branded crybabies by other boys and
girls. Rabbit children are especially close to their mothers and maintain
a wonderfully close relationship with them throughout their lives. They
depend on their mothers for advice and support and will reciprocate when
necessary. Rabbit children are desperate for stability and routine and
require a sort of scheduling to do their best work. Like the adult Rabbit,
Rabbit children are likely to be quite interested in the arts,
particularly in music, a subject in which most Rabbit children thrive.

THE RABBIT
LOVER
The Rabbit lover would
never dream of wearing his heart on his sleeve. The Rabbit seems aloof,
yet underneath is sensual and loving - a tough facade protects a tender
interior. Rabbit folk are romantic yet realistic, generous yet mercenary.
Rabbits are strongly Yin and, whether male or female, are in tune with the
feminine part of their psyche. Their mothering instinct compels them to
nurture others, and they have an innate love of home and
family.
MARRIAGE
Rabbits are easily
moved to tears through words, thoughts and actions. They are deeply
sensitive people who shun conflict. Rabbits tend to be a little moody and
are sometimes influenced by the friends they have. Despite their cool
exterior, they have a reputation for being very sexual and intimate
beings. Although they may go a little crazy in their youth, they will
commit themselves readily to a partner for life.
THE RABBIT LOVE
PARTNER
The Rabbit needs a
partner who is affectionate and loving and who will pamper his mate a bit.
A partner who shares the style and suave of the Rabbit will make a good
lover for him as well. Chinese horoscopes are very specific about which
partnerships have the potential to be successful in love and in business.
Yet, though destiny can pint us in the right direction, we must still make
all efforts to maintain loving relationships. Following is a brief
description of how a Rabbit will affect a relationship with other Animal
