‘Rabbits are friendly, outgoing and prefer the company of others’

Rabbit occupies the fourth position in the Chinese Zodiac. A person born in a Rabbit year will be very beautiful and have character traits as creativity, compassion, and sensitivity. They have a quiet and tranquil nature and are tremendously sensitive to the world around them. Rabbits are friendly, outgoing and prefer the company of others.

They also prefer to avoid conflicts. They approach situations of confrontation calmly and with consideration for the other party. Rabbits believe strongly in friends and family and lack of such bonds can lead to emotional issues. They love to stay at home, which they always keep neat and well-organised. They are generally shy and reserved and like to entertain their friends at home but enjoy stimulating conversation with their guests. Rabbits are extremely artistic people and make beautiful and attractive homes.

Rabbits are considered to be tender animals and generally lack the much-required self-confidence. Hence they need to make an extra effort in building more self-confidence and self-worth so that they can feel more secure in the hostile world. But it must be remembered that the Rabbit’s apparent weakness can easily be changed into strength — from man to magician to god.

They cannot thrive in a competitive or aggressive environment. The desire for remaining in safe, comfortable environments keeps Rabbits from taking risks which sometimes causes them to miss out on good opportunities.

Rabbits do not usually get visibly upset or stressed but they tend to keep these feelings inside. Such pent-up emotions generally cause Rabbits to become ill. Rabbits could benefit more from everyday activity which would reduce their stress levels and better their health.

Rabbits are articulate and good communicators which is why friends and acquaintances seek out their advice. They make charismatic, elegant and intelligent company. They take time to find a soul mate but once found, their commitment is powerful and long-lasting, devoting themselves wholeheartedly to their family and home. By the way, their passion and sensuality usually ensure that the Rabbit family will be a large one.

Rabbits do not deserve partners who would take advantage of their soft and giving nature. They need total trust, security and tenderness in a relationship and are the happiest when they are kept in a comfortable, friendly, cosy and warm atmosphere. Rabbits are sensitive, sentimental creatures, emotional and easily moved to tears. Their sympathetic and forgiving nature is such that they would rather listen to someone else’s problems than reveal their own. They love to share their artistic interests and love the company of talented and intellectual people. Their style of work is methodical and reliable and they hate to enter the world of politics and finance.

They cannot work under pressure as it makes them nervous. Hence, they are good at personal business. Their creative talents come to the fore when they are allowed to work in a calm and quiet place. They are appreciated for their good nature as they seldom step over others to achieve goals. Rabbits make perfect diplomats and politicians. Other good careers for Rabbits include writer, publisher, actor, fashion designer, therapist, doctor, administrator, public relations and teacher.

Calm as they are, it is not easy to provoke Rabbit people. They do not like to argue and enjoy quiet, peaceful lives. They are sentimental and compassionate. According to Chinese astrology, Rabbits belong to the wood element, which is associated with growth and harmony. The colour connected with them is green — the colour of nature, new life, tranquility and relaxation. It is very close to the Rabbit’s nature.
