Combined Western and Chinese Zodiacs
Aquarius Snake

Aquarians are the septuagenarians of the Western zodiac, the second-oldest souls behind Pisces. By this time, everyday pressures of human society have become less important, and there is an increasing receptiveness to the eternal, the afterlife. Hence Aquarians possess great generosity of spirit. They find it easy to accept both individuals and humanity as a whole, virtues and flaws in balance. All three Air signs are naturally drawn to intellectual concerns, and for the Fixed modality of Aquarius, this involves a deep commitment to wisdom, a persevering desire to seek out universal truths. Science, technology, reason—such cerebral subjects provide Aquarians with endless fascination. Perhaps because of their old souls, Aquarians are famously non-conformist and unpredictable, traits regarded as synonymous with their ruling planet, Uranus. Any role that demands routine drudgery is likely to throw them off-balance. Being so accepting themselves, Aquarians may also struggle with rejection. Their fury, while usually short-lived, can be stunningly fierce, or lead to ghostly absences. Ultimately, however, this is one of the most consistently cheerful, irrepressible signs, their wisdom and endless sympathy among the most precious gifts in the zodiac.

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.
