Chinese Zodiac Snake: Rich in wisdom and charm, you are romantic and deep thinking and your intuition guides you strongly. Avoid procrastination and your stingy attitude towards money. Keep your sense of humor about life. The Snake would be most content as a teacher, philosopher, writer, psychiatrist and fortune teller. (Found on just about any Chinese restaurant place mat.)

The Snake

Mine is the wisdom of the ages.
I hold the key to the mysteries of life.
Casting my seeds on fertile ground,
I nurture them with constancy and purpose.
My sights are fixed.
My gaze unchanging.
Unyielding, inexorable and deep,
I advance with steady, unslacked gait,
the solid earth beneath me.

I AM THE SNAKE.

About the Chinese Zodiac Snake

The Snake, like its namesake, is mysterious and elusive. He will never reveal his true emotions or motives and will be incredibly difficult to pin down or catch. He is full of charm and grace, and will have people falling all over themselves to be in his presence. He is unusually intense, yet soft-spoken. An immensely private person, the Snake will take his many secrets to his grave. This is a karmic sign. One of paying your dues. Those born under the Chinese Zodiac Snake sign will consciously or unconsciously seek out to resolve any and all karmic issues during their lifetime.

He is the master financial wizard. When a Snake needs money, it seems to magically appear. A Snake is drawn to the good life, and all the finery that comes with it, so it is a good thing he is so lucky when it comes to money. There will be no settling for second best for the Snake, only the highest quality in all things will do. He would rather go without than to be caught wearing or possessing an imitation or fake. However, he is simple and elegant in his tastes. He will not cover himself in a gaudy display of jewels or clothing, there is no need to go overboard when simplicity will do.

A Snake will have an exotic, captivating beauty, his complexion will be clear and free from blemishes. This may not always be a true beauty, it’s the whole elegant package and the aura of power and mystery that surrounds him, that is so attractive and desirable. A Snake exudes confidence and serenity, and is always surrounded by admirers. His impeccable manners, excellent tastes in clothes, jewelry, books, music and the arts will only add to his magnetism. He will have a unattainable, untouchable and dangerous air about him that makes everyone want to be around him, hoping some of it will rub off.

The Snake is wise. He is always plotting and calculating, making him a very formidable opponent. He is slow to act, and always weighs all sides before making a decision. He is usually very careful about what he says or does, and once he does come to a decision, you can expect there was much thought behind it. Do your best never to cross him, for he never forgets broken promises or wrong doing, and you will surely suffer the consequences. He is patient, unpredictable, and will wait for exactly the right moment to strike, and when he does, you can bet you’ll be sorry. His anger knows no bounds, and his animosity will remain silently hidden until he feels the timing is right. His revenge can be vicious, ruthless and crushing, as he has planned it well. He will have no qualms about crushing or completely destroying you if he feels you have wronged him, or if you are standing in his way.

As a mate, a Snake will seek out someone of similar power and influence. He is confident in his own prowess and will look for someone who he can lead to the top, or that will assist and accompany him into the world of success. He is a passionate, ardent lover and is very sensual in all he does, which has wrongfully given him the reputation of being unable to be faithful. A Snake can be very possessive and demanding of his loved ones, and has a tendency to be overly suspicious. He requires lots of reassurance and demands complete honesty in all of his dealings.

Surprisingly, the Snake is a very skeptical, suspicious person, yet he is highly superstitious. He is prone to paranoia, and can become obsessed and neurotic when he is suspicious of something or someone. Usually, though, the Snake will keep his suspicions to himself until they can be confirmed. If confirmed, though, he will strike out diabolically.

Where the Snake is lucky with money, he should not gamble. If he chooses to, he will more than likely lose. But Snake learns quickly, and will rarely make the same mistake twice. His calculating mind is adept at learning lessons from others mistakes. Even though he may not communicate well with others, his own judgement and counsel rarely fails him. More often than not, his own instincts are right.

Snake may appear to be a sinister fellow, but he does have a great sense of humor. The brand of humor will differ from Snake to Snake, but all of them have one. The Snake will be the one cracking jokes at a moment of crisis to help break the tension, or lighten the mood.

All in all, Snake is a very deep and mysterious person. His calm facade hides a multitude of emotions and secrets. He is a great leader if he does not have to be in direct contact with his subordinates. He is passionate and has an amazing tenacity that he uses to accomplish his goals. He is a thinker, and rarely acts impulsively. He is also great negotiator, but may long to live in the limelight. He has a profound sense of responsibility, but may desire power, excitement and intrigue above all else. The life of a Snake is usually full of many triumphs or much tragedy. Very rarely will he experience both, at the same time, to any great degree. Since Snake will spend his entire life trying to resolve his karmic debts, he needs to be careful that he isn’t just racking up more. His greatest successes will come from listening to his own good judgment and calculating his way to the top.
