Unveiling the Generous Hearts of the Rabbit, Sheep, and Pig Zodiacs
Chinese New Year, also known as Lunar New Year, lasts for 15 days. On the final day, it is often celebrated as the Chinese Lantern Festival or Yuan Xiao Jie in Mandarin. This day is marked by various activities such as solving lantern riddles and enjoying tang yuan, a traditional dessert symbolising family reunions, harmony, and togetherness. The Chinese New Year begins with the new moon and concludes with the full moon, symbolising the end of a cycle. While the celebration of the Chinese Lantern Festival (Yuan Xiao Jie) is more common in places that adhere to traditional practices, those who follow modern customs may not prioritise its celebration, often continuing with their usual activities on the final day of the Chinese New Year.

Their empathetic nature allows them to be compassionate toward others' problems and view situations from various perspectives, especially with their friends and loved ones.

Pigs are authentic and trustworthy, easily earning the trust of others through their reliability. They are patient and unafraid to face challenges. However, their kindheartedness can sometimes make them easily influenced or perceived as naive. This vulnerability puts their emotions to the test, resulting in impulsiveness or loss of temper. It is advisable for them to cultivate calmness, listen attentively, and consider their thoughts before expressing them.
These generalised traits of Rabbit, Sheep, and Pig show why they complement each other well as a group - Diplomats. They are honest, sensitive, compassionate, generous, patient, calm, and able to manage interpersonal situations in a thoughtful manner.
