    The Rabbit Sign in Mythology

    Several legends and stories about the animals were chosen to make up the Chinese astrological system. One of these legends refers to the intention of the Jade Emperor to know the animals that inhabited the Earth. He decided that some of them should be brought before him. To facilitate the selection, the Emperor defined two criteria: they would have to be valuable animals for Man or be one of the first to arrive at the Celestial Palace on the day of the election of the animals. In ancient times, the Rabbit and the Ox were friends and neighbors. One day the Rabbit said that he was the best runner of all animals and that Ox could never catch up with him. The two friends started arguing, and their friendship broke down. After the Emperor's call, and when the day came for the animals to go to the Palace, the Rabbit left early and broke his promise to the Ox to go out together. At a certain point in the journey, when he saw no more animals and thought it was the first, the Rabbit leaned back to take a nap. When he woke up, he saw that the Tiger was reaching him. He ran as fast as he could, but when he reached the Palace, he realized that the Ox and the Rat had arrived before him in addition to the Tiger. Annoyed with the Ox, he began to live under the ground, where his offspring live today. When it came time to select the animals, the Emperor assigned him fourth place in the Chinese Horoscope because of his beautiful white fur.

    Rabbit Sign Dates

    The Chinese Zodiac is associated with how traditional Chinese culture measures time, that is, in 60-year cycles. This calendar results from the multiplication of the twelve animals and the five elements. This cycle is vital and makes each of the 60 years a special and unique period. Each animal rotates for a given year in a continuous 12-year cycle that begins with the Rat and ends with the Pig. On the first day of the Chinese New Year, one of the 12 animals takes its place for that year. In addition to defining the people born during that year, the animal also influences the attributes of the year, which affects us all. The years governed by the sign of the Rabbit are the following:
    • February 19, 1939, to February 7, 1940 - Earth Rabbit
    • February 6, 1951, to January 26, 1952 - Metal Rabbit
