We've touched on the Greek-based zodiac two years in a row already so I've decided to switch it up! This time, the ‘sign’ mentioned may not be yours since they are done in sets of years, but there are 12 of them! Perfect! Are you excited yet? Get ready, set, LEARN!Sign – RabbitThe rabbit is the fourth sign in the Chinese zodiac and symbolizes the characteristics of creativity, compassion, and sensitivity. Who doesn't love a bunny?! They are friendly, outgoing, and prefer to be in social environments over complete solitude. They also avoid confrontation and approach calmly and with consideration for all others. They believe strongly in friendship and family so when lacking these bonds, they are prone to depression and/or other emotional issues. A common problem for rabbits is that they may be easily taken advantage of because of their nature. They are also not likely to feel comfortable taking risks and may let opportunities pass them by. Rabbits are most compatible with the Pig and Dog and are incompatible with the Rooster and Rat.If you want to know if this is your sign and what element you are, see the years below.

It is AMAZING that we know this from scientific analysis isn't it? We even know when its next visit will be for people on Earth to see in the night sky, which is in 2061. less
