Year of the Snake

1905, 1917, 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001

The Snake is reflective, organized, alert, and wise. However, he is obstinate, and often disregards advice. He is a willful and determined worker. Believing in physical and mental economy, the Snake dislikes wasting his efforts or energy. However, when it comes to money, he isn't the most economical. He likes to please himself, and lives from day to day, counting on his luck, chance, and intelligence. The luckiest Snake is born on a warm summer day; it's unlucky for Snakes to be born on a stormy winter night. Snakes do enjoy pleasing others, and adore ornamentation and talking. They detest being set up as examples. Snakes make good professors, philosophers, teachers, psychiatrists, psychologists, diplomats, ambassadors, astrologers, and clairvoyants.

A Snake's childhood will be happy as long as his family life is calm. His youth will be free of problems, but in maturity, his emotional life will be unstable and the Snake will be at the mercy of all kinds of passions. In old age, he will at long last profit from his wisdom, but the fires of love will slowly die and are likely to cause him problems for a long time.

In their love lifes, Snakes are jealous creatures. They have a very individual concept of fidelity, paricularly male Snakes. They believe they're perfectly faithful as long as they return home regularly. The female Snakes are a bit more stable, but detest feeling cornered and prefer to keep some of their liberty and independence. They both have a profound need to please and attract. They are sensual and passionate, and enjoy discussing books, music, and unusual philosophical questions.
