Chinese Astrology Predictions 2008: The Rabbit

A new 12-year cycle started at Feb 7, 2008 with the Year of the Rat according to the Chinese calendar. This important cycle (or era) ends at Feb 5, 2019. It is a 12-year period generally ruled by the universal element of Earth. There are also other elements which rule over each of the 12 years. For example Earth rules over the first and the second year of the cycle (2008, 2009) while Metal rules over the third and the fourth year of the cycle (2010, 2011). The year 2008 is also ruled by the sign of the Rat and has a Yang (male) nature. So 2008 is the Yang year of the Earth Rat. What are the predictions for the sign of the Rabbit for 2008? This is what this article is all about.

The Rabbit rules over 2011 in the 12-year era, a year that will bring extreme fortune to all people under this sign. Until then though, Rabbit people have a lot of things to do. During 2008 they will have great chances to attract members of the opposite sex. It is likely they will find a great sex partner if they lack one. The nature of the Rat, which rules over 2008, will also help them solve any complex problems in a diplomatic way.

2008 is also a great year for Rabbit people to engage in cultural activities. Their love for the arts will be increased. It is highly recommended for them to start creating something artistic of their own. Others will admire everything they create.

Rabbit people are very peaceful and hate fighting. This year though, they might encounter a lot of arguments. It will be as if trouble seeks for Rabbits. What they should do is use their diplomatic minds to avoid such bad surprises or any unpredicted results. They will likely succeed in that because they are so lucky. They should be careful not to talk to much about other people's lives. It is a fact that Rabbit people love gossip but during this year they should be extra careful about what they say.

The Earth's effect on Rabbit people this year will be significant. It will make them conservative and over sensitive. The Yang (male) nature of 2008 will make them very attractive to members of the opposite sex. They should avoid any deceptive behaviors though. Rabbit people should not forget that others can be sensitive too.

Here are my predictions using the five star system. This has to do with the overall positive energy that the Rabbit will receive during 2008. One star (*) means less energy than expected, while five stars (*****) mean more energy than expected. Three stars (***) mean equal amount of positive and negative energy which is a balanced situation:
