a little about a lot

Timid and attractive, the Rabbits of the Chinese Zodiac tend to act more like bunnies, whether they like it or not! This Sign is extremely popular and has a wide circle of family and friends. Its compassionate nature leads it to be very protective of those it holds dear, but where romance is concerned, the Rabbit's sentimentality can lead it to idealize relationships. The sweet, sensitive Rabbit often ends up giving more of itself to a partner than is realistic or healthy. The good news is, when this Sign goes off-balance, the Rabbit's core group of friends and its stable home life help bring it back to center.

The Rabbit is a rather delicate Sign that needs a solid base in order to thrive. Lacking close, supportive friends and family, the Rabbit might just break down in tears at the first sign of conflict. Emotional upsets in this Sign's life can even lead to physical illnesses. Rabbits dislike arguments and other conflict and will try anything to avoid a fight; this results in something of a pushover nature. Rabbits can also lapse into pessimism and may seem stuck in life -- often to mask their insecure natures. Rabbits tend to move through life's lessons at their own, rather contemplative pace; it's a waste of time to become exasperated with this Sign's seeming disinterest in facing its problems and conquering them.

With the right partner -- meaning someone whose high principles won't allow it to take advantage of this sensitive, giving Sign -- the Rabbit can make an incredibly loving and protective partner or family member. Rabbits love to entertain at home and always make sure their house is comfortable and tastefully-furnished. What Rabbits need most is a stronger 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.

YOUR ELEMENT- WOOD

If you were born on March 23, 1975 you are a Wood Rabbit. Like the rings of a tree circle out and expand through the years, so too do those born under the Chinese astrology element of Wood. You Wood personalities seek chances for growth and for renewal in all you do, 'branching out' (excuse the pun!) whenever possible. Your open, expansive mind makes you a compassionate and generous friend, colleague and ally. You understand the inherent value of what you and those around you possess, and your confidence allows you to act upon your beliefs.

While your strength forms the backbone of any social group or partnership you're a part of, you could have a tendency to be a bit too systematic in your thinking, and sometimes your passivity allows others to overwhelm and inhibit you. Don't let yourself be lost in a vast forest, an anonymous tree among millions of others. Make your mark on the world -- you're especially adept at business ventures.

RABBIT FORECAST IN THE YEAR OF THE ROOSTER

Rabbits will congratulate themselves on feeling perfectly in their element. The New Year will bring them a pleasurable sensation of physical and mental well-being. Sufficiently wise not to make a drama out of every grain of sand, they will close their eyes on the faults of their close ones and will thus preserve their interior peace. The astral environment of this year will incite Rabbits to devote more hours to reading. They will therefore gain more wisdom, for 'the reading of all good books is like a conversation with the best people of past centuries,' as Descartes wrote. Meditation will also please them.

Subjected to the opposing influences of the stars, you'll be torn between contradictory tendencies. But you can very well get out of this situation, notably on the professional plane, if you set out precise objectives and follow them. Heartwise, bank on having a lot of dialog with your mate.

RABBIT'S LOVE FORECAST FOR YEAR OF THE ROOSTER

First quarter
Your sentimental relations will improve because you will be more disposed than usual to draw in your horns. You'll be less finicky, you'll show a level of tolerance that your loved ones didn't think you were capable of -- in short, you'll be easier to live with. Avoid mixing logic with your love affairs. Just relax, take life as it comes and profit thoroughly from the present moment. If you're still free at heart, March may reserve for you an exceptional encounter. This time you won't even try to reason or put that person to numerous tests before judging them worthy of you -- they will be accepted without any formality!

Second quarter
Probably one of your former mates will try to renew contacts with you, but their repentance may not be quite sincere and your mutual contention may not be resolved. For this reason remain on your guard! Single natives, you'll have the right to many loves at first sight throughout this period. You'll feel sure and certain to have finally found the rare bird. However, try to keep cool; just live in the present as best as you can and wait to see how things will turn out.

Third quarter
It's virtually certain that your neighbors will be disturbed by the din that your love life will produce. Your walls will vibrate! An excess of passion will be the cause of all this, but try to watch out that passion does not turn into jealousy! Control yourself and keep a sense of humor. August and September will be extremely favorable to a new amorous start. You can definitely cut off your past relations or, more simply, do away with the dust covering a long-lasting relation. You'll feel liberated and quite prepared to start afresh with a partner of your choice.

Fourth quarter
If you're already living in couple, this period should permit you to get closer to your mate or partner. Many of you will come out of a delicate period that was marked with some conflicts. Supported by the stars, you'll have no difficulty this time warming up the atmosphere. If you're single, you'll hardly burden yourself with romantic naivete at this time. What's important to you will be to experience sheer sensual pleasure. Use your charms wisely!
