The chinese zodiac sign Rabbit

The Rabbit is the fourth animal in the Chinese zodiac. In the Western context, a Rabbit is a shy and nimble creature. They are shy and nimble, but a flight animal like a Rabbit has to be!

But what characteristics do people with the Chinese zodiac sign Rabbit have? Let's take a closer look at this question and what makes people with the zodiac sign so special.

Special Features of a Rabbit

Rabbit are considered to be extremely peaceful, sensitive and cultured. They are very sociable without being pushy. They are also extraordinarily in need of harmony, gentle, calm and friendly. 

Rabbits flatter their counterparts with their friendly nature and like to put a smile on the faces of those around them. Rabbits are also characterised by their high level of loyalty and honesty. 

Sometimes, however, Rabbits almost act TOO cautiously: Due to their conservative and cautious nature, they therefore often miss good opportunities.

Differences Between the Five Types of Rabbits 

The Chinese five-element teachings assigns one of the five elements to the Rabbit, as it does to every sign of the zodiac. This results in unique differences for the character trait among the Rabbits. You can see from the following overview which type of Rabbit you are:

The Special Character Traits of the types of Rabbit

However, not all Rabbits are created equal! The combination of the Chinese zodiac sign of the Rabbit with one of the five elements results in special character traits, which we would like to take a closer look at below:

Metal-Rabbit: While Metal Rabbits are very caring and romantic like their peers, they are more principled than all other Rabbits. Due to their high focus on their projects, their private life often suffers.With their clear mind, they are able to tackle and solve problems quickly. By the way: Metal Rabbits are said to be even healthier and more robust than other Rabbits.

Water-Rabbit: The element of Water gives the Rabbit a high degree of sensitivity. Her compassion for those around her is almost boundless. This can also be the Water bunnies' undoing if they make other people's problems their own. Water bunnies should therefore make a point of separating themselves from time to time so that their strong feelings for others do not lead to mood swings.

Wood-Rabbit: Wood Rabbits are eager to provide for the care and safety of the family – this is their top priority. For potential partners, Wood Rabbits are a gem: They carry their partner on their hands and care for them. In professional life, Wood Rabbits come up trumps with diligence and strategic skills. Wood Rabbits are quietly happy about success. Recognition is secondary to them. Wood Rabbits show themselves as gentlemen here: They are silent and enjoy.

Fire-Rabbit: The Fire Rabbit is polite and decent like its fellow Rabbits. It doesn't show it, but unlike the other Rabbits, it loves encouragement and recognition, despite its modesty. The Fire Rabbit does not tend to avoid problems, but it never solves them clumsily or mindlessly: In fights with rivals, it is smart and sweeps its enemies off their feet with humour, knowledge and finesse. Speaking of sweeping off their feet, did you know that Lionel Messi was born on June 24th, 1987 and therefore is a Fire Rabbit?

Earth-Rabbit: Down-to-Earth with vision, that's how the Earth Rabbit presents itself. Financial security is more important to him than to any other Rabbit. That is why he is a master at keeping his money together. It can do without ephemeral luxuries anyway. Decisions are made with the necessary care – risks are avoided. This sometimes makes the conservative Earth Rabbit a little inflexible, so that it lets one or two good chances slip through its fingers. The Earth Rabbit prefers to solve problems in silence.
