Decisions have to be thought through carefully. According to the Reader’s Digest “We can anticipate more diplomacy and more cautious approaches on the world stage and for individuals.” The rabbit is very sensitive and kind and is famous for sniffing out danger well before others. In nature rabbits live in burrows that have multiple exit points, likewise we may find that it is an advantage to have multiple plans of how to proceed. That sounds great as long as we are able to reach a decision.
The rabbit is a social animal. If in doubt we can always learn from social interaction or partner up with other people’s talents and abilities in order to find success and prosperity. People born in the year of the Rabbit are usually artistic and possess many talents. The Year of the Rabbit should bring us plenty of creativity and appreciation for the arts.
