This year, 2023, is the year of the rabbit. More specifically, it's the year of the black water rabbit. And while Chinese New Year starts on Jan 22 this year, the Chinese zodiac year doesn't start until Feb 4. So, any baby born on or after Feb 4 is a Rabbit.

Why don't the two beginnings fall on the same day? The Chinese new year follows the lunar calendar and the Chinese zodiac follows the astrology calendar. Each year, the first day of the new astrology year is marked as the first day of spring (or Lichun) when the sun reaches the 315th celestial longitude degree.

Why is it a black rabbit? The year 2023 is associated with the water element in the Chinese five elements and the color black is what's associated with the water element, which gives us the black water rabbit.

According to Chinese Fortune Calendar: “Rabbit is a shy animal ... Rabbit's characteristics are cautious, elegant, artistic, talented, friendly, popular, kind, reserved, and compassionate. Rabbit is also conservative, self-indulgent, composed, wary, and superficial. Rabbits are perfectionists. They like to plan things and seek out the best.”

The sight also explains: “The most compatible Chinese Zodiac Signs to Rabbit are the Dog, Tiger, Pig, and Sheep. Rabbit has a love relationship with Dog in Chinese Horoscopes. Rabbit and Tiger have an attractive relationship because of Wood. The Rabbit should follow the leadership of the Tiger. Rabbit and Pig also have an attractive relationship with Wood. So Pig will live in harmony with Rabbit. Sheep will have common interests in art or music with Rabbit."

Famous Rabbits include Michael Jordan, Robin Williams, Bob Hope, Tiger Woods, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Charlize Theron, Jeff Bezos, Lionel Messi, Maria Sharapova, Whitney Houston, and Jet Li.
