Dublin Chinese New Year '10  
About the Rabbit 

Fourth in the Twelve year Cycle and a very lucky sign - the Rabbit is keen, wise, fragile, tranquil, serene, considerate, fashionable and kind. Generally, they are quite calm, they do not exhibit aggressive behaviour and avoid confrontation at all costs.  The Rabbit is a symbol of mercy, elegance and worship of beauty.  People born in the Year of the Rabbit are kind, loving persons, and dislike any hostile act. They give others an impression of being frail because of their gentle appearance but, in fact they are strong-minded and have strong wills.

They are talented and like artistic ventures, such as painting and music and are generally quite present in these worlds.  They are also very hospitable, good hosts and warm-hearted companions. They know the art of saving face and giving consideration to the interests of both sides. But be warned! They become depressed and withdrawn if their homes do not contain beautiful possessions to delight them and make them comfortable.  Rabbit people are usually relatively careful when it comes to their finances.   The Tiger makes waves, but the Rabbit mends fences. Diplomacy reigns.
