According to the Chinese Zodiac, the Year of 2011 is the Year of the Golden Rabbit, which began on February 3, 2011 and will end on January 22, 2012. Besides 2011, here are other years of the rabbit: 1915, 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, and 1999. The Rabbit represents the fourth year in the 12 year cycle of the Chinese zodiac.
People born in the Year of the Rabbit are articulate, talented, and ambitious. They are virtuous, reserved, and have excellent taste. Rabbit people are admired, trusted, and are often financially lucky. They are fond of gossip but are tactful and generally kind. Rabbit people seldom lose their temper. They are clever at business and being conscientious, never back out of a contract. They would make good gamblers for they have the uncanny gift of choosing the right thing. However, they seldom gamble, as they are conservative and wise. They are most compatible with those born in the years of the Sheep, Pig, and Dog.
