Today, at 11am, begins the cycle of the new moon; and with it, the beginning of the Year of the Rabbit. The Rabbit is the fourth animal of the Chinese zodiac and is the lucky sign out of the twelve animals. The Rabbit is the Yin wood animal and is associated with the direction of East, the season of spring, the lunar cycle of the new moon, windy weather, the color of green, the sense of smell, and the body’s Liver. This current year of the Chinese Lunar Calendar is of the Metal element and is associated with the direction of the West, the season of autumn, the lunar cycle of the full moon, dry weather, the color of white, the sense of hearing, and the body’s lungs. This year of the Rabbit has Li Chun; the Eyes of Spring. This makes it an auspicious year and one that is bright with good fortune for things like planed events and goals.

To be born in this year will grant rabbits the strength of yin metal. While the aspects of yang for metal are that of a sharp sword that can cut down adversaries, the yin of metal is like a sturdy shield that provides unyielding protection. Metal is the controlling element towards wood and has the ability to overpower it like an ax felling a tree, but can also be more deliberate with its controlling aspects like shires pruning a bonsai tree. Rabbits imbued with the qualities of yin metal will have unwavering conviction in themselves and will stubbornly cling to their ideals and perspectives. They do not like having their intellect or options scoffed at or challenged as they will always feel their way is the correct way. This unwavering quality will also give them much devotion towards their work and studies, allowing them to see great success and knowledge beyond what most rabbits and others will normally achieve. The Rabbit is a reclusive animal and while quaint, does not often find itself in the company of many friends. The resilient qualities of metal and how it adds to the rabbit will make it even more reclusive as well has being more stubborn may find that making friends is even more difficult than normal. But the Rabbit will have more confidence than normal in its abilities thanks to metal and it’s strengthening qualities.

Combined with the yin wood aspects of being flexible yet sturdy, the rabbit of this year will be very astute and know when to give way in situations so as to gain the beneficial outcome. They will be clever with their words and decisions so as to never fall from the pedestal that they have built up for themselves. Yin wood is like a leafless tree in the midst of winter and gives true symbolism to the reclusive nature of Rabbit. But yin wood is also symbolized by lumber used to build a shelter. Metal will draw out this aspect and like a hammer with nails construct the shelter that will allow the Rabbit to never be without its green leaves. The Rabbit is also a very loving animal and has an appreciation for the gentler aspects of life. If friends, colleagues, or partners are in trouble, woods discernment towards ethics and moral codes will likely motivate Rabbit to a position of aid. If the situation is of high concern the metal qualities may turn from yin to yang and give the Rabbit its victory through great resourcefulness and cunning. Rabbits rarely have need for conflict and their behavior tends to keep them far from it. But if it should ever present itself, the metal Rabbit and those allied with it are sure to come out victorious.

To those already born, be aware of how your own elements react with metal. Always remember that there is balance in all things, including the elements. The five elements of metal, water, wood, fire, and earth all react with each other in positive and negative ways. There is also a cycle of interaction for what elements strengthen each other and which elements hinder each other. Starting with the pattern of strength: from metal you get water (metal taking the form of a cup from which water is poured as well as metals initial state being liquid when heated by fire), from water you get wood (wood is like a plant that is nourished by flowing water and falling rain), from wood you get fire (fire cannot burn without the aid of something like wood to provide substance), from fire you get earth (all things burned by fire are turned to ash that becomes part of the earth), and from earth you get metal (the earth being the home of metal before it is dug up).

When viewing the elements and their pattern of hindrance you will find that: metal is controlled by fire (fire will melt metal and return it to a form that can be shaped and molded), fire is controlled by water (nothing extinguishes fire faster than water), water is controlled by earth( the earth absorbs water and helps to contain it for plants or direct it’s flow like a river), earth is controlled by wood (the roots of a tree dig into the soil and acquire a firm grasp, as well as break apart solid stone), and wood is controlled by metal (metal blades can cut a wooden tree branch or shape a piece of lumber).

While this is the element initial flow of control and being controlled, the elements can interact with each other in other ways. Water may be absorbed by earth, but the earth has its limits and eventually will flood and form a lake, as well as water’s ability to erode the earth and carve its own path through a mountain. Earth can also extinguish fire by smothering it, while fire can break boulders if hot enough. Wood can harden and dull the metal blade that would cut it. And metal can take a multitude of forms, from which it can do many things (like digging and moving the earth, holding water, or capping a flame). There is an endless list of ways in which the elements interact with each other. Be aware at how your elements interact with the element of this year; metal.

Along with understanding elemental relationships, someone living in this year should also take notice of how their own animal signs relate with the Rabbit. The Rabbit is a very passive animal and one to avoid conflict. They are generally friendly and gentle but enjoy solitude and quiet. Rabbits tend to love the arts or are artistic and creative. They are in harmony with all things and enjoy balance in the things they do. The Rabbit is an animal to be deep in thought and cautious of action; unforeseen spontaneity will often upset and disturb it. With its deep contemplation, the Rabbit is often in a position of relative control over its surroundings and will have a good understanding of everything.

Animals like the Rooster who are very active and spontaneous will not mix well with the rabbit and thus do poorly in this year unless they can slow down and be more planed out. While the easygoing and kind Sheep will get along well with the Rabbit’s calm and friendly nature; expect a Sheep to do just fine so long as its elements are not in conflict with those of the year. The twelve animals all behave differently and mix in various ways; just as the elements do. Even though Rabbits tend to get along with each other fine they can still get on each other’s nerves if they do not respect one another’s personal space. Even if a person’s animal signs are at odds with the animal of the current year, they can still sometimes get along if there is agreement and understanding. Be aware of how your own animal signs relate with this year’s animal; the Rabbit.




Here is a list of the months in the Chinese lunar calendar as they match up to dates in the Gregorian calendar used in modern European type societies. Each month is assigned an animal in the same way that each year, day, and two hour segment is assigned an animal. There are also twenty four solar terms that mark the sun at its 15 and 30 longitudinal degree segments. These solar terms are identified as Sectional Terms that mark each 15 degree segment, and Principal Terms that mark every 30 degree segment. Each solar term also marks a special seasonal event. Please note that the months and terms listed as being in January are for the year 2012 in the Gregorian calendar.

Here is a listing of the 354 days in this year’s lunar calendar. Each day and month is marked with the corresponding element and animal that is representing it. The elements and animals are assigned a prescribed pattern. The pattern of the animals is: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Boar. The pattern of the Elements is Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, and Wood. The Yin and Yang quality of the element for the month or day (as well as year and hour) never has Yang or Yin twice in a row and as well as matches the Yin or Yang quality of the given animal for that day, month, year, or hour. This cyclical pattern has been in effect since the first day it was used 4709 years ago, in the sixty-first year of the reign of Emperor Huang Ti.

Use this list of the days and months to help plan ahead and understand what times of the year you are likely to do well in and what times of the year you are likely to do bad in. Understand that no matter how bad a day is in conjunction with your own elements and animas, it is always possible to change your approach to the given day or month just as an element that would be controlled by another can change to meet the situation and alter its circumstance.

*Note: I have not included the elements of the hours since I do not feel like listing all 4,248 of them for this year. If you would like to calculate them out for yourself you can do so knowing that the first hour of the day in the Chinese lunar calendar is actually at 11 pm the previous day in on the Gregorian calendar (so the first hour of the first day in this lunar year is at 11 pm on February 2). The element of and animal for the first hour of the first day for this lunar year is Yang Wood/Rat; each animal is dedicated to two hours of the day with the Rat ruling over the first two hours of the day. Be sure to do the same for assigning the elements (there should only be 12 elements and animals in one day).
