Year of the Rabbit

The Rabbit is also associated with the Earthly Branch (地支 / dì zhī) mǎo (卯) and the hours 5—7 in the morning. In the terms of yin and yang (阴阳—yīn yáng), the Rabbit is yin. To outsiders, the Rabbit’s kindness may make them seem soft and weak. In truth, the Rabbit’s quiet personality hides their confidence and strength. They are steadily moving towards their goal, no matter what negativity the others give them. Rabbits are thoughtful and treat everyone politely. They are very conscious of their public image and hate violence and arguments. They have control over themselves and are sometimes conservative. They may seem to be a "yes-man", but they have a bottom line that they won’t cross.

The Year of the Rabbit, therefore, is expected to promote strengthened bonds with loved ones as well as expanded connections with friends, family and colleagues.

If you were born during one of the Years of the Rabbit listed below, this year will be gentle and calm “for a more balanced life”. There could also be more movement and traveling, “just like that of a swift rabbit.”
