One cell of 144
Scorpio + Year of the Rabbit
Two calendars cross at your birth date. This is the cell where Scorpio meets the Year of the Rabbit, and the animal that lives in it.
Answer first
What animal is a Scorpio born in the Year of the Rabbit?
A Scorpio born in the Year of the Rabbit is the Pallas's Cat. The month and day set the Scorpio half, the birth year sets the Rabbit half, and the crossing points at one cell in a grid of 144. Read the Pallas's Cat for the full reading of that cell.
The two halves
What each calendar brings
The Scorpio half
Scorpio holds October 23 to November 21, fixed Water under Mars. You read what sits under the surface. Whatever you decide to keep, you keep completely, and the door closes without a sound. Read Scorpio 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 Scorpio and the Rabbit make together
Scorpio brings a depth that keeps its own counsel. The Rabbit year brings the grace that keeps ground without a fight. The Pallas's Cat carries both at once.
You scowl the world back a step, and the softness behind the scowl is the whole point of you.
The Rabbit runs in a trine with the Goat and the Pig. Held to the same Scorpio season, those years give the Snow Leopard and the Deep Sea Anglerfish, 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 Pallas's Cat the same as being a Scorpio?
Scorpio is half of it. The Pallas's Cat is the specific crossing of Scorpio 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 Pallas's Cat's trine?
The Rabbit runs with the Goat and the Pig. Held to the same Scorpio dates, those years give the Snow Leopard and the Deep Sea Anglerfish, the two animals whose instincts sit closest to the Pallas's Cat's.
