For Natasha and Parker - A Lunar New Year 2023: When does this holiday start and what does the Year of the Rabbit represent?
For clarification and perspective, Natasha is my first baby girl and Parker is her son, and my grandson is the last and only baby boy.
The Rabbit is the fourth of all zodiac animals. Legend has it the Rabbit was proud of its speed. He was neighbors with Ox and always made fun of how slow Ox was.
According to Chinese astrology, Rabbits are predicted to be gentle, quiet, elegant, and alert as well as quick, skillful, kind, patient, and very responsible, sometimes reluctant to reveal their minds to others and have a tendency to escape reality, but always faithful to those around them
One day, the Jade Emperor said the zodiac order would be decided by the order in which the animals arrived at his party. Rabbit set off at daybreak. But when he got there, no other animals were in sight. Thinking that he would obviously be first, he went off to the side and napped. However, when he woke up, three other animals had already arrived. One of them was the Ox he had always looked down upon.
