One cell of 144
Taurus + Year of the Rabbit
Two calendars cross at your birth date. This is the cell where Taurus meets the Year of the Rabbit, and the animal that lives in it.
Answer first
What animal is a Taurus born in the Year of the Rabbit?
A Taurus born in the Year of the Rabbit is the Koala. The month and day set the Taurus half, the birth year sets the Rabbit half, and the crossing points at one cell in a grid of 144. Read the Koala for the full reading of that cell.
The two halves
What each calendar brings
The Taurus half
Taurus holds April 20 to May 20, fixed Earth under Venus. You build slowly and keep what you build. Once you have decided a thing is good, the argument is over, whether or not anyone else has noticed. Read Taurus 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 Taurus and the Rabbit make together
Taurus brings the weight that keeps a thing standing. The Rabbit year brings the grace that keeps ground without a fight. The Koala is what the two look like sharing one body.
You went quiet for a reason, and the people who actually know you have learned to read your rest as devotion, not distance.
The Rabbit runs in a trine with the Goat and the Pig. Held to the same Taurus season, those years give the Snow Petrel and the Bongo, 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 Koala the same as being a Taurus?
Taurus is half of it. The Koala is the specific crossing of Taurus 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 Koala's trine?
The Rabbit runs with the Goat and the Pig. Held to the same Taurus dates, those years give the Snow Petrel and the Bongo, the two animals whose instincts sit closest to the Koala's.
