BaZi Rabbit (Mao): The Wood Sign of Spring

BaZi Rabbit (Mao 卯): The Gentle Wood of Spring

The Rabbit (卯, Mao) is the fourth earthly branch in the BaZi system and represents pure Yin Wood — the elegant, flexible, inward-facing form of wood energy. While the Tiger carries raw, pressing wood, the Rabbit embodies the refined wood of mid-spring: softer, more graceful, but equally persistent.

Intuition and sensitivity: The Yin Wood quality makes them attuned to social dynamics and emotional undercurrents. Diplomatic intelligence: The Rabbit rarely confronts directly — it finds elegant detours. Hidden persistence: Like a plant pushing through stone, the Rabbit works quietly until the goal is reached.
