One cell of 144
Sagittarius + Year of the Rabbit
Two calendars cross at your birth date. This is the cell where Sagittarius meets the Year of the Rabbit, and the animal that lives in it.
Answer first
What animal is a Sagittarius born in the Year of the Rabbit?
A Sagittarius born in the Year of the Rabbit is the Flying Fish. The month and day set the Sagittarius half, the birth year sets the Rabbit half, and the crossing points at one cell in a grid of 144. Read the Flying Fish for the full reading of that cell.
The two halves
What each calendar brings
The Sagittarius half
Sagittarius runs from November 22 to December 21, mutable Fire under Jupiter. You aim past the visible horizon. The far thing pulls you harder than the near thing, every single time. Read Sagittarius in the Western wing.
The Rabbit half
The Rabbit is the fourth branch and shares its trine with the Goat and the Pig, the gentle diplomats. You keep the peace without surrendering the ground. Recent Rabbit years are 1999, 2011 and 2023. Read the Year of the Rabbit.
The crossing
What Sagittarius and the Rabbit make together
Sagittarius brings the pull of the far horizon. The Rabbit year brings the grace that keeps ground without a fight. One animal holds both, and its name is the Flying Fish.
You stay low and careful until the moment is real, then you leap further than anyone standing on the shore expected.
The Rabbit runs in a trine with the Goat and the Pig. Held to the same Sagittarius season, those years give the Bar-headed Goose and the Tree Kangaroo, the two crossings whose engines run closest to yours.
The boundary
Born near the boundary?
The Chinese year does not turn on January 1. It turns at the lunar New Year, somewhere between late January and mid February, so a birthday in those weeks can belong to the animal before this one. The year finder checks the real date for any year you give it.
Common questions
Questions about this crossing
Is the Flying Fish the same as being a Sagittarius?
Sagittarius is half of it. The Flying Fish is the specific crossing of Sagittarius with the Year of the Rabbit, one cell out of 144. Two people can share a Sun sign and carry different animals, because the birth year changes the second half.
What if I was born in January or February of a Rabbit year?
The Chinese year turns at the lunar New Year, which lands between late January and mid February. A birthday in those weeks can belong to the previous animal, so the year finder checks the real boundary before the grid names your crossing.
Which crossings share the Flying Fish's trine?
The Rabbit runs with the Goat and the Pig. Held to the same Sagittarius dates, those years give the Bar-headed Goose and the Tree Kangaroo, the two animals whose instincts sit closest to the Flying Fish's.
