Combined Western and Chinese Zodiacs
Pisces Rabbit

The final sign in the Western zodiac is the metaphorical octogenarian, the dreamer Pisces. This is traditionally a time of contemplation, as the psyche prepares to let go of corporeal existence. Pisces have a special appreciation for creativity, beauty, and individual experience, set against the vastness of time and space. Simple shared occasions can, for these generous and empathic souls, convey universal significance as cherished moments of intimacy and belonging. Admittedly, the often extreme sensitivity of Pisces does involve some challenges. The variable element of Water is at its most inconstant in the Mutable modality of this sign. Pisces can be unreliable if tasked with work they consider a waste of their aesthetic ideals. They are easily overawed by crowds or complex emotional cross-currents, and can be dangerously prone to escapism or isolation. However, if Pisces and those close to them are able to navigate this sign's sensitivity and changeability, then their innate wisdom and perspective promises much happiness and aesthetic achievement.

Fourth in the sequence of the Eastern zodiac is the quintessential aesthete, the Rabbit. Equally at home in abstract and material realms, the Rabbit is a born creative, their commitment to beauty and truth matched by their artist's eye and surgeon's dexterity. They are well known for their achievements in high arts, but are just as capable of working their magic in sports or business. Central to the Rabbit's identity is their peaceable, idealistic outlook. While they can be relied on for wise counsel and tactful diplomacy when relaxed, the great sensitivity of Rabbit natives means they have little stamina for drama or pressure. They will tend to withdraw or escape rather than suffer upheaval or confrontation. In a comfortable setting, however, the sensuality and virtue of the Rabbit is one of the Eastern zodiac's great treasures.
