What's your luck like for March 2025, the Earth Rabbit month? Chinese horoscopes for health, wealth, work and love in a month ripe for healing and long-term planning
Chinese astrology is based on the following three theories and principles – a combination of yin and yang, the five elements of fire, earth, metal, water and wood, and the 12 animals of the zodiac animals.

Essence: compassion, healing, negotiation
The second solar month of 2025 is influenced by the energy of the Earth Rabbit, Ji Mao. This astrological feng shui month follows the solar system and therefore runs from March 5 to April 3.
With the wood penetrating the earth, this is a time of year for strong growth and for potentially lasting progress to be made. We should all exercise mutual respect to achieve a win-win situation, which will bring about a positive start to the year and establish greater stability for all. This year we benefit from waiting patiently, like
the Snake , for the right time to strike and attain goals. Decisions made should be considered for the long-term benefits for all, not short-term gains. We benefit from thinking twice before acting.

The element of wood and the energy of spring are dynamic; this is the energy behind a tiny shoot with the strength to push through the earth, yet a shoot we could snap off with our fingers. This is the will to be, our motivation to actualise and to realise the wood energy within ourselves.
In Chinese culture, the Rabbit is associated with healing. This comes from the ancient folk tale that the 'man in the moon' is not a man but a rabbit stirring a vat of herbs to make the elixir of life, symbolising immortality. This is why the Rabbit is regarded as special in terms of longevity and the Jade Rabbit, in particular, is seen as having healing powers.
How Rabbit-like are you?
Those born in the Rabbit year tend to be quite polite and cautious. They are also never ones to shy away from their responsibilities. They handle relationships easily and are patient and kind, always keeping their promises. But Rabbits can be overly cautious and hesitant, as well as conservative and escapist, especially when they grow bored with a tedious lifestyle.
