Rabbit (Cat) man
His productive capacities
Two general remarks can be made concerning the Cat male 's productive capacities: First, in view of his compulsive need of freedom, he is able to do any kind of work provided he is his own boss and the absolute master of his time; second, due to his obsessive concern for his own security, material as well as moral, he hates all job that requires imagination and the sense of adventure.
Meticulous, methodical and maniacal, the native is naturally suited for enterprises that demand a high degree of attention, patience, ingenuity, discernment and conscientiousness. He can be a good druggist, librarian, archivist, researcher in all fields. Having the manual skill to make beautiful or useful objects out of quite ordinary things, he can do well in handicraft. The civil service, which obviously provides the conditions of security he looks for, may tempt him, but he is not expected to stay in this niche a long time if he does not enjoy some leeway. Endowed with the ability to reach the core of things, he makes an outstanding psychologist, psychiatrist or investigator; his perspicacity helps him detect even the most hidden or best concealed truths.
As already pointed out, the Cat male is reputed for his profound sense of justice and discipline, and this sign is indissolubly linked to the idea of law and order. The native is understandably in a position to distinguish himself as a judge noted for his amazing intuition and unusual severity, or as a shrewd and resourceful lawyer. But it would be difficult to find him in an altruistic profession - as a physician, nurse or social worker - because he is primarily concerned with his own well-being.
For obscure reasons he generally has much more chance than the average person when it comes to financial matters. A lucky gambler who attracts money without even noticing it, he does very well in speculation or games of chance. And if he can overcome his natural timidity, nothing will prevent him from becoming a successful businessman, graced with a sixth sense that allows him to sniff out good bargains.
Writing is a field of activity that holds great promise for him. His sensitivity is such that he can make his readers experience a whole range of emotions and feelings exactly as he wants them to. But his tendency toward melodrama may make some of his literary productions appear cheap and shallow.
The diplomatic career offers him good opportunities. Well-mannered, affable, intelligent and persuasive, he is able to succeed where others fail. He is particularly valuable in negotiations on thorny problems as he has the clinical ability to dissect subjects and impose his solutions. But he would do better as a special envoy than a resident ambassador.
