Chinese Zodiac Rabbit (Hare): You are the kind of person that people like to be around-affectionate, obliging, always pleasant. You have a tendency, though, to get too sentimental and seem superficial. Being cautious and conservative, you are successful in business but would also make a good lawyer, diplomat, or actor. (Found on just about any Chinese restaurant place mat.)

The Rabbit

I am in tune with the
pulse of the universe.
In my quiet and solitude
I hear the melodies of the soul.
I float above commonplace
dissent and decay.
I subdue by my ability to conform.
I color my world
in delicate pastel hues.
I epitomize harmony and inner peace.

I AM THE RABBIT.

About the Chinese Zodiac Rabbit (Hare)

If you were born in the year of the Chinese Zodiac Rabbit, or Hare, you have been born under a very fortunate sign. The Rabbit is the most likely sign to find peace, harmony and contentment with life. He is always pleasant, warm and friendly, but he watches out for himself above all. He carries with him a sense of tranquil peace and a knowledge of the benefits of relaxation. Rabbit always prefers the good life to any life of hardship or strife.

Ever heard of a lucky rabbit’s foot? The fact that it is a Rabbit’s foot is no mistake. Those born under the Chinese Zodiac Rabbit sign are lucky in almost everything. Love, business, finances and life. The Rabbit falls into deals, and his negotiation skills make him a formidable business opponent. He will quickly rise to the top of any career he chooses. His kind heart and gentle ways attract many different people to him. Most will willingly advance Rabbit to any height he desires, all he has to do is ask.

Rabbit is the perfect person to shop with, or plan gatherings with. His ability to find bargains and receive favors from others is amazing. Rabbit’s sense of style and love of all things grand also makes him an elegant host. His attention to detail ensures that any gathering he plans, or has a part in planning, will be considered the event of the season. Take care not to overload him with duties and responsibilities, though, as Rabbit does not like to feel inconvenienced or overwhelmed. When a Rabbit has had enough, or feels he has put forth enough effort towards something, he will simply stop giving or helping. If he feels overwhelmed, or taken advantage of, he will stop everything. He will cut himself off completely from the offending person or situation.

Rabbit, more than any other, knows when it is time to quit racing around and just enjoy the good things in life. Everything, problems and duties included, will be there tomorrow. He is a master at rest, relaxation and just enjoying all that life has to offer. He knows when he needs to take time for himself, and you may find yourself convinced into relaxing and enjoying life right along side him.

The Rabbit is very self-assured. Although with his intelligence, grace and elegant ways, he has every right to be. He is a force to be reckoned with, and he knows it. He needs to be careful of his conceit or it can easily turn into narcissistic tendencies. This could actually be his downfall. His desire to live the good life and his propensity to self indulgence could overwhelm and ruin him. Becoming too confident and too sure of himself could also potentially destroy him and cause undue hardships in his life.

A Rabbit is very cautious by nature. Often this caution is mistaken for aloofness, over deliberation, or even stupidity, but don’t be fooled. The Rabbit has a knack for self preservation above all else, and is extremely cunning and observant. You can be sure that there is some sort of scheming going on behind that calm facade. Do not ever make the mistake of thinking a Rabbit is slow or dim-witted, or you shall surely regret your assumptions when he uses you as his stepping stone to elevate himself!

He knows much more than he shares with others, about everything, and he stores all of that information for his future use. He may appear to be unaffected by harsh words or criticism, but inside he can be affected greatly. Because of this, he is very careful not to put himself into positions or compromising situations that would make him uncomfortable or possibly harm him. You will not want to feel the wrath of an angry Rabbit, either, because the Rabbit is always thinking of himself first, and will do anything he can to ensure his own survival and success. Even if it is at the expense of others.

Since Rabbit is normally very considerate and thoughtful, he expects that of others, as well. He gets very irritated when others are not. He will always try to be the peace maker, and always wants others to get just get along. His impeccable manners and sense of discretion makes him an excellent confidant. His hatred of strife or direct confrontation will not let him cause a scene. He feels problems should be handled in private, and will not publicly humiliate anyone directly.

He has his own, very effective, ways of settling scores and re-balancing things. He tends to let small matters and mistakes slide without any recourse whatsoever. However, Rabbit never forgets them. He tallies any misdeeds and mistakes, and without warning, will assert his revenge, or abandon you entirely, if they reach a level beyond his tolerance. You can never be sure what a Rabbit is thinking. He can be insensitive and ruthless when his security or privacy is at stake. There is often no warning at all when he strikes back at you, or gives up on you completely. A Rabbit will always come out ahead, and will know exactly the right moment to cut his losses, change his tactics or to make a graceful exit.

If you have something that Rabbit desires, you may as well just give in. He is extremely cunning and can be incredibly devious or unscrupulous, if the situation requires. Preferring subtle requests to outright demands, his techniques for getting what he wants are incomparably effective. He will wine and dine you, shower you in compliments and concede to your every want and desire. When you are convinced of your own invincibility and cleverness, he will strike. Under the guise of perfect congeniality and friendliness, he will get his way. You won’t even know what hit you! He will leave you stunned and in shock, questioning what just happened. He is the master at manipulating situations to his advantage, and he will kill you with his kindness.

Rabbit is warm and gentle and infinitely sympathetic. He will do just about anything, within his means, for his friends, loved ones and coworkers, but he may treat his immediate family with indifference. He is easily bored with normal household duties and hates it when people get too clingy or needy. He detests binding commitments, and does his best to avoid becoming overly involved in anything by passing duties on to others. Rabbit would prefer the safe sidelines to any battlefield, and will avoid any direct conflicts with great dexterity and poise. He truly wants an easy peace and harmony without having to work too hard to achieve it.

The Chinese Zodiac Rabbit is the epitome of self-control, grace, elegance and good manners. His soft-spoken, kind ways and warm, friendly attitude find him never wanting for friends or admirers. He makes an excellent friend and will give you sound advise and wisdom, just take care not to ask too much of him. He is a great judge of character, incredibly intelligent and very thorough in all he does. When Rabbit is at his worst he will be moody and indifferent and sometimes even brooding and devious, but at his best he will attain great heights because of his ingeniousness. His clever, yet subtle, manipulations of situations to get what he wants is his greatest asset. His successes will come through what appear to be luck, as he has a knack for knowing how to be in the right place at the right time, and when it’s time to get out of harm’s way. He firmly believes in himself and his abilities and will always land on his feet.
