Rabbit

The Rabbits of the Chinese Zodiac tend to act more like bunnies, whether they like it or not! Timid and attractive, the Rabbit is the kind of furry ball you want to smother with love. As a result, they're extremely popular and have a wide circle of family and friends. Their compassionate nature also leads them to be very protective of those they love. Where romance is concerned, their sentimentality is the reason why they idealize relationships, a quality which compels them to give more than they realistically should. The Rabbit thinks this is just fine. When they do bite off more than they can chew, their core group of friends, coupled with a stable home life, help bring them back to center. Rabbits are very delicate creatures and need a solid base in order to survive and thrive. Absent this, they'll break down in tears at the first sign of conflict and can even veer toward illness. Suffice it to say that Rabbits dislike arguments and will try like the dickens to avoid a fight. They can also lapse into pessimism and appear stuck in place - often to mask their insecure natures. This isn't likely to compel them to change their stripes, though, since Rabbits like to hop along at their own pace and think things through. Happiness for Rabbits is the chance to entertain in their tastefully-furnished homes. Appearances do count for these furry folk, one reason why they always look better than the rest. Did they spend a pretty penny to get there? You bet. What Rabbits need most, however, is a greater 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 goat or pig.
