THE SIGN OF THE SNAKE
The Snake is the intuitive, introspective, refined and collected of the
Animal Signs. They are attractive people who take cries with ease and do not become flustered easily. They are graceful people,
exciting and dark at the same time.
Contemplative and private, the Snake is not outwardly emotional. He can
appear cunning and reticent and works very modestly in the business environment. The Snake will plot and scheme to make certain
things turn out exactly as they want them to. They are not great communicators and can become quite possessive when they set
their minds on achieving the interest of a partner.

IN YOUR ELEMENT
The characteristics of the Snake are tempered by one of the five Chinese
elements of Metal, Water, Wood, Fire and Earth overlaying a 5-year cycle of characteristics on the original 12-year cycle.
THE METAL SNAKE 1941 AND 2001
Metal Snakes are extremely willful individuals who will stop at nothing
to achieve their goals. These people will have their guards up 24-hours a day in order to protect themselves from any failure
or possibility of it. They place a great deal of importance on money, but are more concerned with the possessions their finances
can bring them. They are in and out so sharply and so silently that they are often unheard and unseen. You must be careful
with these Snakes because, although they can be generous, they are always out for number one.
THE WATER SNAKE 1953 AND 2013
Water Snakes are influential and insightful. They manage others well and
tend to be good for organizations to utilize as staff. They are quite motivated and intellectual, very determined and resolute
about success. They will have what they desire, despite the conclusion or outcome they generate because it is worth it to
them to not only be recognized for their efforts, but to be rewarded as well. They are affectionate with their families and
friends but do not show this side of their personality to colleagues or business partners.
THE WOOD SNAKE 1905 AND 1965
The element of Wood, like in most Animal Signs, gives the Snake a bit
of solidity and foundation. Wood Snakes are not as self-preserving as the rest of them, as vanity is not really his style.
These Snakes have a stable group of friends and family to hang out with and love each of these people quite deeply. However,
it is rare that the Snake utilize his group of loved ones for advice or listening, often opting to go at it alone. Kindness
and genuity are two of this Snake’s greatest characteristics.
THE FIRE SNAKE 1917 AND 1977
Fire Snakes can be a bit loud, speaking their minds and smothering you
with their opinions. This does add a twist to his dynamic and vibrant character, as he is quite the extrovert. These Snakes
have a great wisdom. They are intriguing communicators who leave you breathless after a conversation. Fire Snakes can change
even the most obstinate mind with their powers of persuasion, convincing you their opinions or ideas are better than yours.
This does make them a little self-centered, but you can’t say they aren’t driven for success.
THE EARTH SNAKE 1929 AND 1989
Earth Snakes are the most relaxed of the breeds. They lead calm lives
and offer a down-to-earth appeal to any conversation or outing. This may make them seem more friendly, as you may not feel
the need to wonder what he’s got up his sleeve. They may also shun the need to lash out or take risks, but it isn’t
from paranoia. They figure their good sense and work ethic will pay off and bring them much fortune and material satisfaction.
THE SNAKE LOVER
Snakes are beautiful people who exhibit quite a sexual appeal. They are
sleek and seductive and if they want you, will out a spell on you that won’t let you stop thinking about them. However,
Snakes are quite prejudiced when choosing a partner and don’t just choose based on physical qualities. The Snake needs
a partner who can appreciate his quirky sense of humor and his wacky way of handling situations, so generally, although quite
beautiful and tempting to approach, the Snake does all the pursuing.
MARRIAGE
Because the Snake is so choosy, he can become jealous and obsessive about
his partner. They can be a bit stand-offish with their mates, choosing to push away emotions rather than confront their feelings
and insecurities. Once betrayed, you can bank on not ever being trusted by the Snake again as much as you can bet he will
get even.
THE SNAKE LOVE PARTNER
Not everyone can live and be happy with a Snake. It takes a patient soul,
someone ready for the long haul, who can calm his nerves and deal with his obsessions with skill. Chinese horoscopes are very
specific about which partnerships have the potential to be successful in love and in business. Yet, though destiny can point
us in the right direction, we must still make all efforts to maintain loving relationships. Following is a brief description
of how a Snake will affect a relationship with other Animal Signs.
