💞 Love, work and money
Love
In love, the Rabbit is thought of as affectionate and romantic. It shows its feelings by writing a handwritten letter for an anniversary or quietly handing over a warm cup of tea on a hard day. Yet it often keeps hurt feelings to itself instead of saying anything. Tradition places the Rabbit in a samhap trio with the Pig and Goat and a yukhap pair with the Dog.
Work and study
At work, sensitivity and an aesthetic eye are counted as strengths. They show in fields that require reading people's feelings and the mood of a room — design, counseling, customer care. Fiercely competitive settings can wear the Rabbit down, so finding a setup where it can work at its own pace matters.
Money habits
The Rabbit is said to have a soft spot for beautiful things. A rule of looking again a day after adding something to your cart helps you keep only what you truly need.
Something to try
