Traditional Rabbit Attributes
The Rabbit is conscientious in most of the things he does and, because of his methodical and ever-watchful nature, he can often do well in his chosen profession. He makes a good diplomat, lawyer, shop keeper, administrator or priest.
The Rabbit will rarely be short of admirers and will often have several serious romances before he settles down. The Rabbit is not the most faithful of signs, but he will find that he is especially well suited to those born under the signs of Goat, Snake, Pig and Ox. Due to his sociable and easy-going manner he can also get on well with the Tiger, Dragon, Horse, Monkey, Dog and another Rabbit, but the Rabbit will feel ill-at-ease with the Rat and Rooster as both these signs tend to speak their mind and be critical in their comments, and the Rabbit just loathes any form of criticism or unpleasantness.
Another main characteristic of the Rabbit is that the Rabbit has a high rate of reproduction. So for those born in the year of the Rabbit, what is preferred - The more the merrier or Be Careful?
Famous Rabbit people: Orson Welles, Albert Einstein and Queen Victoria.
