The Year of The Rabbit 🐇

People born in a year of the Rabbit are called "Rabbits" and are believed to be vigilant, witty, quick-minded, and ingenious.

As kids, most of us at one time or another were taken to a Chinese restaurant. If you hit the right one, it could be a magical experience. Many were decorated in vibrant colors, lanterns hanging from the ceiling, huge memorizing fish tanks. Best of all, there were those place mats. 

For many of us, this was our introduction to Lunar New Year and the 12 signs of the Chinese Zodiac. Before even ordering your food, you scanned that place mat, looking for the year of your birth, hoping you were maybe a horse, a tiger, or a dragon. Most were not, which led to snickers from your brothers or friends about being a snake or a cock.

2023 is the year of the Rabbit 🐇 and to celebrate, photographer John Mar shot these original images of Dawn Tang celebrating the holiday, and animal which represents it.  Individuals with the zodiac rabbit sign are usually highly determined people. They possess impeccable planning skills and prefer to live an organized life.

The rabbit Chinese zodiac compatibility analysis says that Sheep is their perfect match. Sheep and Rabbit blend well as a couple. Natives of both zodiacs are romantic and passionate individuals. They know about each other’s needs and requirements, which helps them live a happy couple’s lives. 

Rabbits also have their struggles.  They tend to be reserved, even secretive and can be very sensitive and easily offended.  They also like their 'me' time, often choosing to spend time alone rather than with other.  As for the male species, these rabbits can be randy as their zodiac sign is one of the most sexual signs on the calendar. Rabbits are capable of being downright libertine in their debauchery and perversions.   These traits sometimes make it difficult to maintain relationships for long periods of time.
