Rabbit and Rabbit

These are traditional rules about the twelve signs. No chart decides a relationship.

The traditional relations

  • 無 No listed relation

    None of the classical relations apply to this pair.

What tradition says

A pair of Rabbits doubles 卯, the fourth branch, a yin branch of wood that belongs to the second month and the east. The classical tables give it nothing. 三命通會 explains why 卯 is absent from the self-punishing four: among 子午卯酉, 子 and 卯 already punish each other, and only 午 and 酉 are left over.

Popular zodiac books expect two Rabbits to keep a peaceful home and to avoid confrontation at some cost. Popular writers add that neither may be eager to raise a problem.

五行大義 sets peak wood at 卯, so two of them could be strong in the same way and blind in the same spot. A good question is what the two of you have agreed, without ever saying it, to leave unmentioned. Pick a minor example and practice on that.

A doubled 卯 is calendar arithmetic, and two people who happen to share it may quarrel or keep the peace as they see fit.

Where this text comes from

The relation tables follow 五行大義 volume 2 and 三命通會 volumes 2 and 3 on Wikisource. The popular readings are modern and come from neither.

The English here is our own plain wording, not a translation of a single source.
