Snake

Wisdom, Intuition and Mystery

蛇

In Chinese culture the Snake is not a symbol of evil, but of wisdom and deep intuition. People born under this sign are born philosophers, thinkers and explorers of mysteries. They are elegant, refined and full of grace, but also secretive and inscrutable. The Snake moves quietly, observes carefully and strikes (or makes a decision) in a flash when the opportunity arises.

The Snake is a master of renewal. It can shed its skin and start everything again. Its mental strength allows it to survive the greatest crises and come out of them stronger.

Personality Traits

Snakes are extremely intelligent and have a sixth sense that rarely fails them. They like to explore esoteric knowledge, psychology and everything hidden from the eyes of ordinary mortals. They are very well organised and can find a way out of situations with no way out.

On the outside they seem calm, even lazy, but their mind is working at full speed. They are pragmatic and effective - if a Snake starts something, it will finish it. They can, however, be mistrustful and hold grudges. If someone steps on its tail, the Snake may wait a long time for the right moment to get even.

Love and Relationships

In love the Snake is possessive and passionate. Its feelings are deep and intense, but it rarely shows them in public. It is a master of seduction - its magnetism and aura of mystery attract the opposite sex like a magnet.

A relationship with a Snake can be fascinating, but also difficult. It is very jealous and expects complete loyalty from its partner, while sometimes allowing itself flirtations to test its attractiveness. It needs a partner who will understand its need for privacy and will not try to change it by force. In the bedroom it is sensual and refined.

Career and Finances

The Snake has a "nose" for money and rarely has financial problems. It can sense good investments and business opportunities before others notice them. It does not like hard physical work; it prefers to work with its head.

It does well in professions that require analytical thinking, planning and intuition. It is an excellent scientist, psychologist, detective, astrologer or strategist. At work it values independence and being able to act at its own pace.
