The Snake is born under the sign
of wisdom. He (or she) generally has a calm and placid nature
and prefers a nice quiet life. The Snake does not like a
frenzied atmosphere and hates having to make quick decisions.
He does not like to ask for advice and does not like to take
it. He derives much pride and pleasure from the thought that
he relies on his own judgment. The Snake can at times appear
to be a loner. He is quiet and reserved and communicating with
others is not his best skill. He does, however, have a good
sense of humor and can be calm in a crises situation.
The Snake is a deep-thinker and
highly intelligent. He has considerable skills and is always
looking for an opportunity to show-case these talents. He
likes to meditate and reflect. Because of these traits he is a
good organizer and planner. He enjoys a challenge because it
will give him an opportunity to ponder and produce a solution.
These introverted thought processes make the Snake seem
evasive . That's because he is. The Snake harbors a basic
sense of distrust for others and becomes secretive because of
this trait. He is not gullible and almost never gets "taken"
by con men.
The Snake is a hard worker
and is thorough in all his endeavors. He is determined and can
become quite ruthless in his pursuit of a goal. He has
confidence in himself that he can achieve goals and has the
will-power needed to work himself hard. But when the Snake
fails he looks at this as an unfair event and is crushed by
it. He cannot bear failure and is a very bad loser. In turn if
he thinks his trust has been abused he can be very hurt.
The Snake chooses his friends
very carefully. He can be generous to friends with his time
and his money but he demands loyalty from a friend and a
reciprocated friendship. The Snake is very possessive and can
be very jealous of both friends and lovers.
The snake is a late starter in life and during his life he
will shed one of his famous Snake skins and take up new
interest or start a whole new and different career. It simply
takes him awhile to find happiness with the right job or
spouse. The Snake is well suited to jobs which involved
research and writing and where he is given freedom to pursue
his own ideas.
The good-looking James Bond
type at the casino table is most assuredly a snake. Rakishly
handsome and a relentless gambler, the Snake is the most awful
gambler in all the Zodiac. The female Snake will be
attractive. She will have style , a cool demeanor, beautiful
and expensive clothes ,and be very alluring. She will glide
across a room with a natural grace and almost a royal stance.
Both the male and female snake will have many admirers and
many romances before settling down. They will exude an air of
self-confidence even if they don't necessarily have it.
The Snake appreciates the
finer things in life and enjoys treating himself well. He has
an appreciation for fine food, fine wine, fine art and
literature. He is drawn to the occult and enjoys reading and
studying philosophy and New Age subjects. He is very intuitive
and is often physic. He relies on his physic abilities and gut
feelings more than he realizes. And if asked " How did you
know that?", he will truthfully answer, "I don't know.".
Although not the most energetic member of the Chinese zodiac,
the Snake has an inquiring mind and many Snakes are great
thinkers. He prefers to proceed at his own pace and is very
much the master of his own life. Another characteristic of the
Snake is his susceptibility to high blood pressure and nervous
disorders. He must be careful to guard against these ailments
because of his nervous energy and holding many problems within
himself. Remember the Snake will not ask for help. But the
most important thing for a Snake to guard against is his love
of gambling. It can become an obsession and destroy the life
path he has set for himself.
The Snake is well suited for
relationships with the Ox, Dragon, Rabbit and Rooster. He can
also get along well with the Rat, Horse, Goat, Monkey and Dog
provided they do not cramp his style and he feels that he has
sufficient freedom. The Snake has trouble getting along with
the down-to-earth Pig. He will find the Tiger too wild and
disruptive for his peace-loving ways. The Snake is happiest
when left to chart his own course and proceed on that course
in his own due time. Trying to rush him will make you both
miserable. |
