Rabbit
Rabbit Sign:
The Rabbit is the sign of peace, of grace and of family life.
Basic Character:
Rabbits/ Hares have a fundamental mother instinct. Womanly instincts
might on occasion show in the case of a male rabbit, which in no way
lessons his maleness. A happy, non-belligerent people are rabbits, with
an acceptance of their fate. Although ambitious they are not front
runners. In spite of their timidity, they are lovable, well-liked
characters. They have good business acumen and are careful
circumspect when confronted with the hazards of life. Rabbits are
sociable and get on well with most animal types, possibly with the
exception of rats, cocks and dragons. A Rabbit year could see an
increase in the birth rate.
The Rabbit Lovers:
Though Rabbits are sensitive, sentimental 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 allegiance to someone who will not only provide security
and stability but who will also guarantee as much of la dolce vita as
they can. But to give them their due, once they have found the right
partner, they make faithful husbands or wives, dedicated home-makers,
devoting themselves to their families and to their homes. And, by the
way, their sensuality usually ensures that are Rabbit family will be a
large one.
The Rabbit parent:
Rabbits often have large families, which is just as well because they do
have a deeply sensual nature and are known to be rather libidinous
types. Indeed, the procreative habits of this furry little creature are
quite legendary! But to give them their due, though they may be
sensual, they are in general very faithful to their partners. As parents,
they make excellent teachers to their young, strongly protective but
also fairly possessive too. Yet they can come across as possibly a little
remote to their children, a little too emotionally cool and distant.
The Rabbit Child:
Rabbit children are in general well-behaved and easy to bring up but
noticeably tender and sensitive. As a sign, these are very emotional
people, easily moved and even when young they stand out as rather
prone to crying. Both boys and girls have a strong attachment to their
mothers to the point where boys may be unkindly labeled as
'mummy's boys' or considered to be *tied to their mother's apron-
strings'. And because of that soft inner core they learn very early on to
mask their sensitivities and to build a protective barrier that will shield
their feelings from the outside world.
Health:
Rabbits are said to enjoy longevity. However, the biggest problem for
Rabbits is that they are not able to deal with stress very well. Members
of other signs may actively enjoy the sudden surge of adrenalin that
comes from confrontational situation, and even get a positive charge
out of it. But not so those born during the year of the Rabbit because
for these, living or working under too much stress or pressure, is the
quickest way of endangering their health. For the Rabbit, then,
tranquility is the essence of good health and well-being.
Compatibility:
The Sheep is perhaps the best match for the inscrutable
Rabbit; bothshare innate good taste and love of luxury. Relationships
with the loyalDog or pleasure-seeking Boar are often happy and
productive. It is saidthat Rabbits and Snakes are the stuff legendary
love affairs are madeof, although these lovers may baffle those around
them. Tiger andRabbits rarely get along-they understand each other too
well. Relationships with the unruly Horse and devious Monkey can also
be difficult. Rabbits prefer tranquility to careering off in twelve
directions. Peace-loving and flexible, the Rabbit gets along well with
the Ray, Dragon and Ox. Relationships with other Rabbits are not
passionate, but they can nevertheless be very compatible if allowed
separate spheres of influence. On no account should they attempt
serious involvement with the brash Rooster. The abrasive criticism of
this sign will send a Rabbit running into permanent hiding.
