The Year of the RABBIT:

The Year of the Metal Rabbit starts on February 3rd 2011 and ends on 22nd January 2012.

Also called the Year of the Golden Rabbit. The Rabbit is a lucky sign. People used to carry a rabbit’s foot around (this was less lucky for the rabbit).

A quieter year after the roller coasters of the Year of the Tiger. Time to recover and relax before the year of the Water Dragon in 2012.

Key trends during a Rabbit year are learning and growth. The year tends to take on the characteristics of the animal it represents and when we think of rabbits, we notice a quiet busyness, getting on with life in a contented and simple manner. There is emphasis on family and on getting on together in the community.

Previous Rabbit years have seen many summits with resolve of challenges. The Entente Cordiale between Britain and France, the ending of the Vietnam War, the announcement of Glasnost. All diplomatic initiatives to move forward to greater openness and communication between different groups.

Rabbit years are marked by serenity, calm and grace. The element of Metal gives ambition, tenacity and staying power, which can lean towards obsession or passion. The year ahead will be one of abundance and prolific creation. There also needs to be caution. Watch your back as the rabbit always needs to.

Having fun with friends becomes more important. Be playful. New beginnings come up all around and although it may be hard to let go of the old, it will pay off. New structures based on starting from ground zero will be evident in different parts of the world. Old power struggles yield to new ideas. Read Animal Farm again. Rabbits rule.

Be close to the earth that feeds you. Look after it and feed it for the future. Green issues and new sustainable sources of energy will be at the forefront of the news. The Rabbit is linked to the moon. It is said that when you go out on the night of the full moon of each month, and meditate on your wishes, you strengthen your Chi (life energy).
