The Rabbit is the fourth symbol of the Chinese Zodiac and a sign of hope for the people. Rabbits have great fashion sense. They keep an updated wardrobe and care strongly about home decor. They love to be around friends and family. Rabbits lead comfortable lives and prefer not to take risks. If they did take a risk, they would probably make the right decision. Rabbits are rarely wrong. They avoid conflict and confrontation⁵ whenever possible. They also avoid change. If there is a Rabbit in a group, he is usually the peacemaker. Rabbits have difficulty expressing personal feelings without breaking into tears. This makes it difficult for Rabbits to form long-lasting relationships. The Rabbit also has trouble sticking to one project.
