Personality of the Rabbit
The Rabbit is Yin Wood, the quiet, refined cousin of the Tiger's wild forest. Rabbit-year people move through life with grace: they value beauty, harmony, and cultivated environments. They are often the artists, designers, and peacemakers in their circles. Do not mistake gentleness for weakness, Rabbits are patient, quietly persistent, and remarkably resilient when their values are threatened.

Strengths
Rabbits are masters of diplomacy and good taste. They create harmony in rooms, refinement in work, and emotional intelligence in relationships. Their quiet persistence often outlasts louder rivals.
Challenges
Rabbits can avoid conflict to the point of suppression, become overly sensitive, and hesitate when decisive action is needed. Their preference for peace sometimes costs them what they truly want.
Career & Work Style

Natural careers: Artist, designer, diplomat, therapist, writer, musician, interior designer, mediator.

Your Full Chart Goes Deeper Than Your Zodiac Year
Being a Rabbit is one of eight characters in your complete Energy Chart. Your birth month, day, and hour each carry their own animal and element, and the interaction between all four pillars is what creates your actual personality, not the year alone.
Two Rabbits born in different months can have very different charts. A Rabbit born during a Dragon hour reads differently than one born during a Snake hour. The zodiac sign is the first brushstroke; the full Energy Chart is the portrait.
