MY CHINESE ZODIAC AND ELEMENTAL SIGNS
I'm a Water Rabbit. This means that (at least as far as the
www.chinese.astrology.com is concerned) --
Timid and attractive, the Rabbits of the Chinese Zodiac tend to act
more like bunnies, whether they like it or not! This Sign is extremely
popular and has a wide circle of family and friends. Its compassionate
nature leads it to be very protective of those it holds dear, but
where romance is concerned, the Rabbit's sentimentality can lead it to
idealize relationships. The sweet, sensitive Rabbit often ends up
giving more of itself to a partner than is realistic or healthy. The
good news is, when this Sign goes off-balance, the Rabbit's core group
of friends and its stable home life help bring it back to center.
The Rabbit is a rather delicate Sign that needs a solid base in order
to thrive. Lacking close, supportive friends and family, the Rabbit
might just break down in tears at the first sign of conflict.
Emotional upsets in this Sign's life can even lead to physical
illnesses. Rabbits dislike arguments and other conflict and will try
anything to avoid a fight; this results in something of a pushover
nature. Rabbits can also lapse into pessimism and may seem stuck in
life -- often to mask their insecure natures. Rabbits tend to move
through life's lessons at their own, rather contemplative pace; it's a
waste of time to become exasperated with this Sign's seeming
disinterest in facing its problems and conquering them.
With the right partner -- meaning someone whose high principles won't
allow it to take advantage of this sensitive, giving Sign -- the
Rabbit can make an incredibly loving and protective partner or family
member. Rabbits love to entertain at home and always make sure their
house is comfortable and tastefully-furnished. What Rabbits need most
is a stronger sense of self-worth and the security that comes with it.
Their discerning natures, coupled with some hard-won assertiveness,
will help these happy creatures go far.
The most compatible match for a Rabbit is the Sheep or the Pig.
Wikipedia for its part says --
Those following traditional Chinese astrology consider people born in
the Year of the Rabbit to make ideal diplomats or politicians. In
Chinese astrological thought, a "rabbit person" is graceful, cultured
and well-mannered. Although Rabbit people get along well with many
people, at heart they are considered to be basically reserved
creatures, and are only truly happy when engrossed in some sort of
scholarly or intellectual activity. Rabbit people are considered too
sensitive for the world around them; they are not able to thrive in
competitive or aggressive environments, and are anxious when others
force them to take risks. Their inner world is considered too delicate
for unsettled or unpredictable situations, and they tend to create
peaceful and comfortable atmospheres--like rabbit dens--instinctively.
According to traditional Chinese astrology, this characteristic makes
them very hospitable and attentive people, who take care of those
around them.
The average Rabbit person emphasizes the importance of small details.
They pay attention to everything from color, design and furniture to
food and conversation. And only when they are sure that everything has
been arranged as they wish can these people relax and have fun.
People born in the year of the Rabbit often lead a conservative
lifestyle where one of the most important things is their security.
This quality has a negative side also: opting for safety over risk,
they may miss good opportunities. These people are not frivolous or
irresponsible, for when they truly believe in something, they are
serious, persevering and capable.
Calm as they are, it is not easy to provoke Rabbit people. They are
sentimental and compassionate. They can be moved by the personal
problems you share with them.
Just like the Ram and the Pig, the Rabbit's quest is the aesthetic and
beautiful in life. Its calm nature gives it great leadership
abilities. It is artistic, refined, intuitive, and well-mannered. Its
soul loves the preliminaries in love, and is ae fine artist in its
lovemaking. The Rabbit, Ram and Pig have been bestowed with calmer
natures than the other 9 signs. These three are compassionately aware,
yet detached and resigned to their condition. They seek beauty and a
sensitive lover. They are caring, unique, self-sacrificing, obliging,
sensible, creative, empathetic, tactful, and prudent. They can also be
naive, pedantic, insecure, cunning, indecisive, and pessimistic.
In addition, as someone born under the Water element --
Those of you born under the influence of the Chinese Astrology Element
of Water act with the assured fluidity of a river, affecting your
environment with your strength and quiet charm. Creative and
captivating, diplomatic and intuitive, Water individuals are the
masters of subtle persuasion. Without even appearing to try, you can
gain someone's trust and affection, and once you've got them they'll
follow you anywhere. You make everyone feel special, noting and
praising each person's unique talents.
Your inherent pliability, the fluid calm that makes you so appealing,
can also make you sometimes too passive, too willing to be what
someone wants you to be. You tend to take the shape of whatever
container you're poured into.
Rather than letting others dam up your energies, let yourself flow
freely!
