Seeing a rabbit

A rabbit is read as a sign of new opportunities — and a reminder not to let fear make every decision.

Anxiety and freezing when action is needed.

The real rabbit behind the symbol

Rabbits are most active at dawn and dusk and can see almost all the way around without turning their heads. Unlike hares, their young are born blind and hairless.

A doe rabbit can conceive again within hours of giving birth, so one female can raise several litters in a season.

The rabbit across cultures

East Asian folklore sees a rabbit pounding the elixir of life on the Moon, and German tradition gave the Easter hare.

Elsewhere: The moon rabbit across China, Japan and Mesoamerica; the trickster hare of West African and Cherokee stories.
