Year of the Rabbit
The Rabbit is the 4th of the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac. The next Year of the Rabbit is 2035, a Wood Rabbit year starting on 8 February 2035.
The zodiac year starts at Chinese New Year, between 21 January and 20 February — so if you were born in January or early February, your animal is usually the one of the year before. (Some traditions, such as feng shui, start the year at Lichun, around 4 February, instead.)
