The personality of the Rabbit in Chinese astrology<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Serene and ethereal, Rabbits have a softness to their auras, much like cuddly bunnies. These sweet souls can be a little mysterious at times, and keep their emotions private. Beneath the surface, there\u2019s a lot going on. Rabbits are delicate souls who at times seem too fragile for life on Earth. They need support, and constant reminders of their own resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With their vivid imaginations, Rabbits want to escape the harshness of reality. At times, they do this through self-destructive behavior and chemical addictions, like Rabbits Drew Barrymore and Whitney Houston. Most Rabbits can benefit from a strong therapist to draw out the subconscious turmoil that brews under their gentle facades. Pretty people with kind faces and hearts, Rabbits find their true strength by healing the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rabbit is ruled by the planet Neptune<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The ethereal Rabbit is ruled by imaginative Neptune<\/a>, the planet of the subconscious. This watery influence makes the Rabbit a natural fit with Pisces<\/a>, its Neptune-ruled Western astrology counterpart. The Rabbit shares the delicate aura of Pisces, the bountiful creativity and sensitivity. Rabbits exude the enchanting spell of Neptune, a beauty that radiates from within when they\u2019re aligned in mind, body and spirit. They are communal and cooperative, a soothing presence that tunes into poetry, music and art.

Bunnies beware: gullible Neptune can also make your Chinese zodiac sign susceptible to predators who take advantage of the timid, shy and compliant parts of your nature. Your openness is lovely, but it can be disingenuous. Rabbit folk benefit from learning assertiveness skills to help them set clear boundaries, a struggle thanks to porous Neptune. (Recommended Rabbit reading: Boundary Boss, written by Rabbit author Terri Cole!) Without these tools, Rabbits may passively retreat, keeping people at arm\u2019s length, or flashing a sunny smile while they silently seethe. If you find yourself withdrawing to avoid conflict, this is your sign to add a little tough to your fluff. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nonetheless, \u201cmake love, not war\u201d will forever be the Rabbit\u2019s mantra, and this bountiful animal can certainly multiply and manifest. From the prolific litters that bunnies birth to their ability to make miracles from thin air (thanks, Neptune!), abundance is a superpower for spiritually-aligned Rabbits. Neptune, the planet of illusions, rules the subconscious\u2014and that still-mysterious part of the mind that science is only starting to understand. Is it any surprise that Albert Einstein, whose theory of relativity blew open our concepts of time and space, was a Pisces Rabbit? It\u2019s hardly a quantum bunny hop to suggest that his double-Neptune rulership is evident here, all the way down to his trademark silky cloud of hair! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
