The Rabbit is quick, clever
and ambitious, but seldom finishes what he starts. He epitomizes gentleness,
refinement and elegance, turning his back on conflicts of any kind. Preferring
a situation that is perfectly favorable according to his specific desires,
the Rabbit bypasses all obstacles and persons he does not find suitable. As
a result, he is rarely angry, hostile or aggressive. Companions quickly forget
any discord, only remembering his seductive grace.
The Rabbit is the happiest
sign of the Zodiac -- gifted, nice to be with, discreet, refined, reserved,
ambitious but not too much so, and virtuous in the bargain. Nobody ignores
Rabbits, for they are good company and know how to make the best of themselves.
Unfortunately, however, Rabbits are superficial and their good qualities are
superficial also.
The Rabbit is a social
creature, even-tempered, well-mannered, tactful, cool, and sensitive to others. Yet this calm can become
aloof, the sensitivity can be quirky and thin-skinned, and the intelligence
can become dilettantish. The Rabbit is lucky -- with brains and only a
little hard labor, the Rabbit can go far. He possesses the ability to transcend difficulties.
Rabbits seem to be born with
an innate sagacity, a natural shrewdness which makes them streetwise when it
comes to the affairs of the world. Intuitive and with a canny understanding,
they seem to possess an ability to see things before they happen, a talent
which secures them the best deals both in business and in life, whilst also
ensuring them financial stability and security. With perfect understanding
of their partners and their great diplomatic ability, they frequently have the advantage, and in the practice of
human relations they are unrivaled in what requires subtle negotiations.
They will undertake nothing before they have weighed the pros and cons and
examined the deal from every angle. Because of this, people admire the
Rabbit and take him into their confidence. He shines in trade, especially in
some offbeat aspect of it like antiques, which permits him to capitalize on
his good taste. Politics, diplomacy and the law all offer the Rabbit equally
good opportunities -- provided always that he can live the tranquil life he
craves within their orbit.
Style as well as an eye for
beauty are especially associated with this group whose members possess
refined tastes together with artistic skills. Highly creative people, art is
of particular interest to them. Because of the Rabbit's built-in acquisitive
nature, many become great collectors, filling their houses with beautiful
paintings and objets d'art. In whatever walk of
life Rabbits find themselves, they will always be distinguished by this sense
of refinement and their cultured views. Elegant both physically and
intellectually, Rabbits will always stand out from the crowd either as
extremely stylish dressers or because they create an individualistic fashion
statement of their own.
During the three phases of
his life, the Rabbit will manage to have the peaceful existence he wants on
one condition: that he keeps away from the exceptional situation, the
dramatic turn of events, or the insurmountable obstacle. Wars, revolutions,
natural catastrophes have nothing to do with him; he wasn't designed for
adversity. Anything that threatens his quiet life becomes insupportable. An old Chinese
proverb says, "A swift Hare has three holes," meaning that the smart Rabbit has three holes
dug in the ground, ready to escape through any one of them whenever a predator approaches. He is
not a fighter and would rather flee than confront conflicts.
There is usually something
offbeat and mysterious in the Rabbit's makeup, as though he held the secret
to some great truth that he dare not reveal. It must be remembered that the
Rabbit's apparent weakness can easily be changed into strength -- from man
to magician to god.The Sensual Rabbit
Though Rabbits are sensitive,
sentimental, serenity-loving creatures, emotional and easily moved to tears, when it comes to
committing themselves to a long-term relationship they can be quite mercenary.
Their driving passion is a desire for an easy life, filled with as much
comfort and luxury as they can get. Thus they are more likely to show their
allegiance to someone who will not only provide security and stability but
who will also guarantee as much of la dolce vita as
possible. But to give them their due, once they have found the right partner
they make faithful husbands or wives, devoting themselves to their families
and to their homes. By the way, their sensuality usually ensures that the
Rabbit family will be a large one.
Affectionate and obliging
though he is with those he loves, faithful and loving though he is, the
Rabbit finds it easy to benefit his friends at the expense of those nearest to
him; he's not really a family man, and that's the truth of it. Often enough,
he regards his parents or his children almost as strangers to whom he prefers
the cronies of his own choice. So far as female Rabbits are concerned, they
can always be relied on to do their duty, but their maternal instinct in fact
is strictly limited. Regardless of gender, the Rabbit rarely fights or competes with a
partner.
The honest
Dog and scrupulous
Boar get on well with Rabbits. The Rabbit will settle down well with the
Sheep whose artistic sense he appreciates.
The unreliable Horse and
disrespectful Tiger do not suit him. There is good
interaction with the Ox who can offer him the reassurance, security
and stability that helps him succeed. The Rabbit
should remember to avoid the miserly Rooster like
the plague!
April is the month of the
Rabbit. The time of the Rabbit is from 5:00 a.m. to 6:59 a.m.; their
direction of orientation is the east. The Rabbit's color is
light green.
