2011 - Year of the Rabbit

A person born in the year of the Rabbit possesses one of the most fortunate of the twelve animal signs. Their fundamental nature and strength is drawn from the moon.  The Chinese believe a person born in this year is very fortunate!  Soft spoken rabbits find happiness and contentment. Rabbits are gracious with excellent manners.  There is no great inner struggle in their heart. They believe in their own judgment and ability to survive. Rabbits need trust and tenderness in a relationship. Like the rabbit they hop over obstacles, and always land on their feet! The rabbit's soft, vulnerable looking exterior is protected by an armor of cautiousness. Hares are very lucky in business and combined with their excellent bargaining wisdom will go far. They find it hard to work under pressure. Hares are the peace makers and good scholars. They may look easy going, but they are actually quite cunning! Being a strong willed person, they go quietly, yet determinedly towards their goals.  Rabbits are considerate, understanding, warm, friendly, and easy to be with. They know how to relax!

A calendar is a system for measuring time, from hours and minutes, to months and days, and finally to years and centuries. The terms of hour, day, month, year and century are all units of time measurements of a calendar system. A normal year in Chinese Lunar Calendar has 12 lunar months.  The length of a 'month' is defined as the time it takes for the Moon to go through one cycle of motion. As it happens, this takes about 29.5 days. So we round the month to be either 29 days or 30 days. In order to make up to 365.24 days, an extra month is added during the Leap Year.

Chinese astrology has a history of more than 3,000 years.

This astrology argues that one's personality profile can be revealed form one's birth time.

It is based on the year rather than in the month as in the western system.

In Asia everybody knows which animal sign he or she is born under.
