Combined Western and Chinese Zodiacs
Virgo Rabbit

Sixth in the sequence of the Western zodiac is Virgo, the great problem-solver. This sign is equivalent to the years around age 40, when the frivolities of youth are put aside in favour of a clear system of organization for the future. Virgos are motivated by coordination, logistics, planning. They tend to be extremely goal-oriented. They are brilliant at saving money and managing their calendars, learning new skills, or setting up environments where everything has a place and can be located when needed. As an Earth sign, Virgos usually focus on physical realities rather than abstract matters, although the Mutable quality of Virgo gives them a keenly analytical, reflective side. At times, Virgos may be too rigid in their need for structure, making them appear inflexible, even domineering. They can also see selective disclosure as key to their schemes, which may breed resentment if others feel left in the dark. Most Virgos, however, have little difficulty applying their awesome problem-solving skills with dedication and generosity. Families and businesses with Virgos in their midst are often among the happiest and most successful in the zodiac.

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.
