The
Diplomatic Snake 
Animal traits: Unlike the evil snake
who seduced Eve to sin, the Snake is a fertility
symbol in Chinese mythology. The Chinese snake
is a sexy creature. Chinese myths are full of
stories associating snakes with the female goddesses
who charmed educated young men and gave birth
to super-gifted children who become leaders
in society.
Character: People born in the Year
of Snake are intellectual, strong-minded,
charming, and popular. The Snakes are spotlight
magnets and will not be ignored. Peer group
attention and public recognition are the least
of what they expect. Yet Snakes are never
noisy or deliberately outspoken, and they
have excellent manners. Determined to follow
through anything he undertakes to the bitter
end, the Snakes detest being left in the air.
They make their decisions quickly and firmly.
Most people are secretly or hopelessly in
love with the Snakes. Irresistible as they
seem, the Snakes never waste time in idle
gossip. They think often and deeply, but they
rely heavily on their instinct and first impressions,
rather than on facts or on others' opinions.
Lifestyle: The Snakes are very artistic
and creative. They love social life and enjoy
going to the theater, concerts, art galleries,
museums, and any cultural events. Somehow
they are conservative in matters of taste
as in other respects, and will not be the
first jump into something trendy. They prefer
to wait and see. In money matters, they are
not big spenders and usually are a bit tight
when it comes to lending money. They are oversensitive
to weather and environment. They may like
outdoor activities, but will generally prefer
the comforts of indoor life.
Emotions:
The Snakes keep their emotions and ambitions
well hidden, guarding their privacy. They
are quite cool sometimes because they don't
care much about showing off to others to get
attention, but in reality they are warm and
friendly, with a delicate sensitivity to others.
Generally, the Snakes are careful but generous
with friends and family.
Career: Intelligent, hardworking,
patient, and philosophical, the Snakes should
do well in many kinds of work, especially
something creative. Their ability for creative
thought helps them to go far in their chosen
careers. They would be most content as a teacher,
philosopher, writer, psychiatrist, fortune
teller, artist, environmentalist, or politician.
Love: The Snakes are romantic, sexy,
passionate, warm, and charming. When they
are in love, they can become possessive and
obsessed, even if they no longer love her.
It is dangerous to cross them, because they
are skillful plotters, and snakebite can be
a painful experience. At the same time, they
do not always remain focused on one love object
for long. The Snakes must be received, welcomed,
accepted, and approved by those with whom
they come in contact. They need a lot of security.
