The Chinese Year of the Rabbit
If you are born under the Chinese sign of the Rabbit, you will make a great diplomat! Rabbits are clean and neat, quiet and often softly spoken. They dislike conflict and will go to great lengths to avoid discord. Rabbits thrive in tranquil, harmonious settings and become unhappy in noisy, argumentative company. People born under this sign develop good diplomatic skills and they are good at calming heated emotions. So much so that they are often thrown into the kind of unsettled situations they so dislike precisely because they have the skills to make the peace. Rabbits are not particularly ambitious. They prefer a comfortable settled life, but will readily accept responsibility. They can be cunning but usually only in extreme situations. Rabbit people are known for their good taste and their homes will look immaculate and well maintained. There are twelve Chinese year signs in the Chinese Zodiac. Unlike in our western astrology, in Chinese astrology each sign lasts for a year. Legend has it that as Buddha was about to depart the earth he summoned all the animals to say goodbye. Only twelve turned up so, to show his appreciation of their loyalty, he vowed that from then on each year would bear the name of one of the animals. Chinese astrology is based on the Lunar Calendar. This means the Chinese New Year does not fall on the same day each year and can vary by as much as 3 weeks. So for babies born in late January/early February it is necessary to consult the charts to determine the correct sign. Chinese Years:
