Chinese Zodiac
The Snake

Sixth in the rank of Eastern zodiac animals is the wise, alluring Snake. Snake natives possess an incredible facility for learning. Throughout their lives, these magnetic souls reveal an instinctual command of philosophy, religion, and the human psyche. The sexual attractiveness of the Snake is also legendary. To fall under the spell of a Snake individual is to know truly unbridled passion and sensuality. Snake natives are well advised to avoid taking advantage of their gifts, lest they appear egotistical, manipulative or hedonistic. Perhaps because they are accustomed to winning favour easily, they can also be prone to jealousy and tight-fistedness. In harmonious contexts, however, the profound knowledge and abundant sensuality of those born under the sign of the Snake can immeasurably enrich their loved ones and communities.

In the middle ground, with plenty of potential but some reticence, are signs from the Trine Families that the Snake does not share a direct connection with. These include the Dog and Horse, and the Rabbit and Sheep. The Chinese zodiac makes some harsh judgements about unfavorable energy connections. For the Snake, these are their Opposition sign, the Pig, and their Adversary, the Tiger.
