According to the legend, the moon goddess Chang'e has a rabbit as a pet, which has always been a symbol of cheerfulness and happiness. It is also believed that the rabbit is the incarnation of the Moon Goddess herself. Those born under the sign of the Rabbit in the years 2023, 2011, 1999, 1987, 1975, 1963 and in every 12th year before are considered to be talented and ambitious. The Rabbit is popular everywhere and a good companion, distinguished especially by its patience and good nature. Rabbits are known for their sense of art and often make the right decisions based on their instincts. Despite their popularity, they shy away from change and are often insecure and rather pessimistic.
