Lunar New Year: Year of the Rabbit

by Sara Wennerstrom / Jan 20, 2023

Lunar New Year, also commonly known as Chinese New Year, begins on January 22, 2023, and ushers in the Year of the Rabbit. This marks the ending of the Year of the Tiger that was marked by fast-paced strength, growth, and vitality. We can expect 2023 to be more peaceful and restful, much like the tamer rabbit. The holiday represents new beginnings and the renewal of good health, happiness, and fortune.

What does the Year of the Rabbit mean?

The Year of the Rabbit occurs every 12 years and it’s the luckiest of the 12 animals in the zodiac. The rabbit symbolizes longevity, cleverness, positivity, and self-protection. Because of the rabbit’s characteristics, we can expect this year to be marked by relaxation, fluidity, and quietness. Compared to last year, we will see prosperity, hope and calm.

What are the traits of the rabbit?

Each zodiac animal is believed to represent certain personality traits for those born in that year. Those born in the Year of the Rabbit are gentle in spirit, approachable, good-humored, and expressive. Rabbits are gentler, but they’re also agile and cunning. They are known to have elegance, an artistic eye for design, and pay great attention to detail.

How do I make the most of the Year of the Rabbit?

Because rabbits are both gentle and smart, many will navigate this year thoughtfully and easily with few dangers. This softer approach will help you overcome any obstacles and meet your goals this year.

Experts recommend taking action early in the year (when rabbits are active) for financial and career success. Start planning early. Romantically, like the cuddly rabbits, this is a year to embrace love and strengthen bonds. Time to consider investing in deeper relationships.

What should I gift for the Year of the Rabbit?
