Rabbit people are known for their sensitivity and introspection, and it’s believed that rabbits make ideal diplomats due to their levelheaded approach to situations. Because they like nothing better than wallowing in culture, you can often find rabbit people at the theater or the opera. They also make great academics due to their love of all things intellectual. Sometimes rabbit people tend to be too risk-averse, causing them to miss out on some good opportunities.
屬兔的人天生敏感、容易自省。面對事情時能冷靜處理,因此被公認為具備理想的外交官特質。他們最喜歡浸濡於文化饗宴中,所以常可在戲院或歌劇院見到他們的身影。熱愛各種知識,因此學業表現也相當優異。肖兔者有時太過保守不愛冒險,因而錯失了一些不錯的機會。
FOR 2009:

so take extra care on all health matters.

健康運:病痛可能上身,
要特別注意健康。
