Gong hay fat choy! Happy New Year.

The Year of the Rabbit begins January 22nd, 2023

The Year of the Rabbit will bring political upheavals from restless youth and a multiplicity of sex scandals as the generally calm refined Rabbit works to overcome the turmoil of the Tiger year and usher in the desperately craved peace and tranquility of its nature.

The Rabbit is the luckiest sign in the Chinese zodiac. The Rabbit, symbol of longevity the rebirth of greenery, youthful energy and the prosperousness of nature. In metal years Rabbit's will be active, clear and more than likely to  bounce ahead of the pack, but they are cautioned not to be jumpy or impatient, since concentration, dedication and resourcefulness will be needed. And if they are to reach their goals, intuition will be a useful and important tool.

People born in the Year of the Rabbit are graceful, cultured and love socializing, but at heart they're quiet, reserved and only truly happy when involved in scholarly pursuits. They are not generally risk takers, thrive in quiet situations and have a taste for secrecy.

Rabbbits are romantic and sweet, make excellent long term partners and are never at a loss for suitors. But don't be deceived, Rabbits are easygoing on the surface but rigid inside and if a Rabbit makes the plans, be ready to comply, or they'll retreat into their burrow and not be seen again till spring.

 Famous Rabbits (1915,1927. 1039, 1951, 1963, 1999, 2011,2023)..
Harry Belafonte, Ingrid Bergman, Cary Grant, Lewis Carroll, Arthur Miller, John Keats, George Orwell and Orson Welles.
