Happy Lunar New Year!

Gong Xi Fa Cai! Happy Lunar New Year, from your Tara Family!

‍

Today marks the start of the Year of the Rabbit and here are some zodiac myths about it:

The Rabbit is associated with the Earthly Branch (地支 / dì zhī) mǎo (卯) and the hours 5—7 in the morning. In the terms of yin and yang (阴阳—yīn yáng), the Rabbit is yin.

Rabbits are earnest with everything they do; they just ask that others treat them the same way.

In Chinese culture, rabbits represent the moon. Some say it is because the shadows of the moon resemble a rabbit. Others say it is because of the rabbit’s pure characteristics.
