The Story

The Rabbit was behind the Tiger, who was ready to make it across the river by hopping from one bobbing log to the next. He was so lucky -- he took a dip near in the water. He latched onto a drifting branch that carried him towards the bank. He was about to tumble into the wild river once more, and he was trying to jump onto solid ground, but then, surprisingly, a gentle wind came along and boosted the Rabbit to reach the shore. It got to the ground in time, and he scurried across the finish line, nabbing fourth place.

Love and Compatibility

Rabbits are known for being gentle, thoughtful, generous, and devoted partners. They are quite passionate. Rabbits are easy going and they are often close friends with someone before they start a romantic relationship. They are not willing to express their true feelings to others and as a result, they can end up being overlooked or misunderstood by others, including their own partners. They are skilled at making everyone around them happy. The only thing that might cause a fight in a Rabbit relationship would be a sudden change or unpredictable behavior.

For Men

Being true to his partner, a Rabbit man can be very romantic. Using his charm, a Rabbit man finds love as an extended practice session until he finds the ideal mate.

Rabbit women can be ideal partners for marriage as they are good at multi-tasking at home: taking care of children, creating harmony and sharing in family life.

Because a Rabbit woman can not take good care of herself, marriage is not always easy for her and generally will not happen early in her life. The ideal partner for a Rabbit woman is someone who listens to her and loves spending time with her.：If someone can give her the emotional support, she will be loyal and supportive for the rest of her life.

Best Matches: Pig, Sheep, Dragon

1. Rabbit and Pig

The Pig is attracted by the Rabbit's intelligence and ability to solve problems. The diplomatic Rabbit might love a devoted and loving partner in the Pig who will respect the Rabbit all the time. These two signs can be very happy together because they accept each other's drawbacks in a relationship. Also, they both dislike confrontation and work hard to avoid it – making life quite peaceful.

2. Rabbit and Sheep

The Rabbit loves the Sheep's kindness and trusts her/him. ：The Rabbit will trust Sheep when they are making some important decisions. Both signs like order, peace, balance, and harmony in their lives and can support each other during tough times. They are also romantic, so they will complement each other’s affection, and there will be a happy life if they are connected.

3. Rabbit and Dragon

Both signs can be supportive in a relationship and even though they have different personalities. They will be peaceful in a relationship. The Rabbit is fond of the power of the Dragon and trusts that the Dragon will be a great provider. The Dragon will make the Rabbit feel safe and nothing will be able to hurt the Rabbit. The Dragon enjoys being acknowledged for its power, talent, and intelligence and enjoys being the protector in the relationship. The Dragon also loves the easy-going, flexible nature of the Rabbit and both can be affectionate and loving in their own way.

Worst Matches: Rat, Tiger and Horse

1. Rabbit and Rat

The Rat can be possessive and jealous which are qualities the Rabbit doesn’t usually like. The Rabbit is usually passive and may not put enough effort into the relationship to make it work out long term, especially since the highly sociable Rat also may not put enough effort into the relationship. The Rabbit is gentle, timid, and prefers to stay at home, while the Rat is (again) quite sociable and enjoys being around many people and out in public. They do, however, both like to spend time with their family and they both set realistic goals in life.

2. Rabbit and Tiger

The Rabbit is sensitive, gentle, quiet, and the Tiger is loud, daring, and can't stand people who get emotional. The Rabbit doesn't appreciate the Tiger's spontaneity and unpredictability, as the Rabbit likes routine and certainty. The Tiger can get frustrated by the Rabbit’s inability to make quick decisions or do things on the spur of the moment, and the Tiger doesn’t enjoy spending so much time at home, which the Rabbit adores. However, the Rabbit will let the Tiger (who likes to be in charge) be the more dominant partner in the relationship.

3. Rabbit and Horse

The Rabbit is conservative and sensitive, and the Horse is hasty and fickle, so both signs may find each other intolerable. Neither of them may take the time and effort to make their relationship work. Even though the Horse is dedicated, caring, and capable of providing for the family, he/she will often get annoyed if the Rabbit puts all the responsibility entirely on him/her.

Lucky and Unlucky Things

Career and Health Outlook

Career

Due to their gentle, caring nature and their attention to detail, Rabbits excel in academia or professions that require having to deal with people (law, public relations, or counseling). Rabbits work carefully and will rarely make a decision without having all the information. They know their limits and even though many find this boring, a Rabbit's steady focus and practical pace allow them to achieve more than others who have unrealistic expectations and high ideals. They are very responsible and devoted to their jobs. They are good in professions involved with diplomatic work as they are skilled and reducing conflict.
Good career choices: Doctor, nurse, publisher, translator, librarian, fashion designers, writers, teacher, public relations officers, writer, artist, counselor/therapist, lawyer.

Health

Because Rabbits don't get visibly upset or stressed due to keeping their feelings to themselves, they can become sick, anxious, and depressed from not more adequately dealing with their feelings. They need to express their feelings better and exercise regularly, eat a healthy diet, and incorporate relaxation techniques into their life, like Yoga.
