The Earth Rabbit personality
Earth lends the Rabbit a grounded, practical streak. Earth Rabbits keep the Rabbit’s gentleness and good taste but are more realistic and self-reliant than other Rabbits. These Rabbits think carefully before deciding and prefer security to risk. They tend to be modest, sensible and quietly capable, with a talent for making a home or workplace comfortable and well run. Compared with the Fire Rabbit, which follows its emotions, the Earth Rabbit relies on judgment. It is also more cautious and private than the Wood Rabbit. Friends often turn to Earth Rabbits for sound advice. The downside of this caution is that they can be overly conservative, slow to open up to new people and inclined to put their own wishes aside to keep the peace.
