Chinese Astrology is organized according to 12 Animals Signs. One Chinese legend attributes the creation of the animal signs to the semi-mythical Yellow Emperor in 2637 B.C. According to another legend, the Lord Buddha summoned all the animals to come to him before he departed from Earth. Only 12 animals came to bid him farewell. As a reward he named a year after each other one in the order that they arrived. First came the Rat, then the Ox, the Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig. Thus we have 12 signs today.
The animal ruling year in which you were born exercises a profound influence on your life. As the Chinese say, "This is the animal that hides in your heart".

The rabbit is one of the 12-year cycle of animals which appear in the Chinese zodiac related to the Chinese calendar. According to Chinese folklore, each animal is associated with certain personality traits. The Rabbit is known to be quiet, reserved, retrospective and thoughtful.
The Rabbit is the fourth Sign of the Chinese Zodiac, and is a Yin Sign associated with the Wood Element. Recent Rabbit years have been 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987 and 1999. Although they appear to be very bland and unprepossessing types, Rabbits are often reservoirs of extreme emotion, which plays a great role in their choice of actions. They have a strong independent streak, and despite their complaisant exteriors, they adamantly refuse to be ordered about. They can be cunning and secretive, touchy and conservative, yet at the same time diplomatic, peaceful and refined. The Rabbit is a mystery wrapped inside of a conundrum tucked away within an enigma, and is without a doubt one of the most difficult Signs to pin down, as they can jump in almost any direction.
The female of the Rabbit Sign is a very ambiguous personality indeed. You are good at being the perfect hostess, and prefer company to being alone. This having been said, the best part of having company for you is that they must eventually leave and you can be left to your own devices -- no desire to have a large family on your part, as your mothering impulse is atrophied, for better or worse. You are naturally elegant in all matters of style, dress and manners. You have a very acid tongue, and are fond of humor verging upon insult. Your tender, wistful nature is stiffened by your determination to provide yourself with the material necessities of life. You excel in the mental manipulation of others to serve your own ends.
