The 3 Zodiacs Who Are Luckiest In Love During The Year Of The Rabbit, According To Chinese Astrology

The Lunar New Year is upon us, and 2023 — as predicted by Chinese astrology — is expected to be a hopeful year due to the symbol of prosperity and peace represented by the Rabbit.

What some of you may not know is that in addition to assigning an animal, Chinese astrology also assigns an element to each year, chosen from the five primary sources: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. The element for 2023 is Water.

That makes 2023, drumroll please — the year of the Water Rabbit. This means that 2023 is going to be full of unwavering optimism, emotional sensitivity, tenderness and prosperity. 

With that being said, love is in the air, and there are three Chinese zodiac signs that will be the luckiest when it comes to their hearts and their passions this year. Are you one of them? Find out below!

1. Goat

Birth years: 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015

As per Chinese astrology, goats and rabbits are said to have a strong bond as their personalities are well-suited and they have a beneficial influence on one another. That’s why, if you are a Goat in the Chinese zodiac during the Year of the Rabbit, 2023 will be a beautifully favorable year for you.

Interestingly enough, your romantic success is actually going to be closely tied to your professional advancements. If you make progress in your career, pursue your goals, and build a shining reputation, you are likely to experience heartfelt developments in your love life as well. This is the year you are likely to start to grow into your star-like aura, and the charisma you will possess as you develop your confidence and your belief in yourself is not going to go unnoticed.

Whether a meaningful relationship develops or not is fully dependent on you and your ability to reach for the things that you want in this life. You must put yourself out there if you want the Universe to reward you. Take the initiative, because potential is pouring into your life, and that just may mean that your heart is finally going to find its home.

2. Dog

Birth years: 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018

According to Chinese astrology, dogs and rabbits have an unwaveringly strong bond when it comes to friendship. 

Those born in the Year of the Dog are loyal, warmhearted, and sensible. They have a beautiful, calm energy to them, and their personality is synergistic with those born in the Year of the Rabbit for that exact reason. Dogs and rabbits are known to quickly become good friends and they work well together. There is so much synchronicity between the two that even in romantic relationships they mirror one another and showcase a lot of respect and camaraderie within their connection. This means that a year rooted in the rabbit is one that will mirror luck and prosperity into the energy of the dog as well — especially when it comes to deeper emotional bonds and partnerships. 

While those born in the Year of the Dog are going to attract a lot of partners in 2023, they are being reminded to be mindful not to enter romantic relationships with people who require more work than they are worth. If they are not careful, they may find their kind nature being taken advantage of.

3. Pig

Birth years: 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019

According to the Chinese zodiac, pigs represent prosperity, hard work and practicality, and individuals born in the Year of the Pig often see those valiant traits reflected in their personalities.

Therefore, pigs and rabbits are highly compatible with each other. Their energies align well and they complement one another. It is as if they share the same mind — they are almost always on the same page. This is why 2023 will be a lucky year for love for those born under the Pig — prosperous luck and energy is raining down upon them from their rabbit counterparts, and they are basking in the fortune it is bringing forth.

However, some born in the Year of the Pig will be more focused on their career rather than love. This is all a choice, as the energetic luck in their atmosphere will flow wherever they focus it. If you were born in any of the above years, challenge yourself to stay open to the possibilities of a romantic relationship. If you open your eyes to those around you, you may just find the right person who convinces you to take a risk and to put your heart into this world.
