The rabbit is the fourth sign of the Chinese Zodiac, which consists of 12 animals, and is the luckiest sign of all. Here’s the lowdown via Spring’s Greeting Cards.
2011 is the Year of the Golden Rabbit
Rabbits are private individuals and a bit introverted. People born in the Year of the Rabbit are reasonably friendly individuals who enjoy the company of a group of good friends. They are good teachers, counselors and communicators, but also need their own space.
The Rabbit brings a year in which you can catch your breath and calm your nerves. It is a time for negotiation. Don’t try to force issues, because you will ultimately fail.
To gain the greatest benefits from this time, focus on home, family, security, diplomacy, and your relationships with women and children. Make it a goal to create a safe, peaceful lifestyle, so you will be able to calmly deal with any problem that may arise.
Not many people know that the Rabbit is the symbol of the moon, while the Peacock is the symbol of the sun, and together these two animal signs signify the start of day and night, represent the yin and yang of life.
It is said that anyone making wishes are certain to get what they want, and in the Year of the Rabbit, the wish-granting aspect of the sun and moon combined is multiplied. The moon is yin and this is the yin of Heaven, signifying magic. Thus on the night of every full moon this year, go out to gaze upon the full moon.
Visualize plenty of moondust and moonglow flowing into you, filling your whole body with bright white light and granting you fearlessness, love and courage. This will not only strengthen your inner chi energy, but will bring wisdom into your life.
