Chinese Zodiac Rabbit - Gentle yet agile
Origin stories: how the Rabbit hopped into the heavens
The Great Race
Legends say the Jade Emperor (or Buddha, in some tellings) held a river race to choose the twelve calendar animals; the nimble Rabbit rode a floating log, leapt to shore, and finished fourth — securing its place in the cycle.
From river to moon: the Jade Rabbit
In later folklore the Rabbit became the Yùtù (Jade Rabbit), pounding longevity elixir for Chang’e in the Moon Palace, symbolising sacrifice and healing. When you look up at the full moon, its silhouette is said to show the Rabbit at work.

Why extra care in 2025?
The Wood Snake’s analytical energy can over-stimulate sensitive Rabbits, leading to decision fatigue and money leaks if boundaries are weak. Regular digital detox, sleep discipline, and clear budgets prevent “snake bites” to stamina or savings.
