Snake

Snakes know more than they give out and are unpredictable, or even traitorous, for one never knows when they are going to strike. These are some of the characteristics attributed to any person born in the year of the Snake. Like the reptile, they create a mysterious aura around themselves, giving the feeling of a hidden power that can show itself at any moment.

An inner strength is one of the dominating qualities of this zodiac sign. The Snake accepts challenges and does not slow down until it meets its goals. Its persistence in adversity impresses everyone. Like the reptile that sheds its skin, people under the influence of the Snake are reborn reinvigorated from conflicts or crises.
Also like the snake, they have quite a peculiar way of regaining their strength. Often, after a long and intense period of labour, they go into a state of inactivity, one might say a form of hibernation.

According to Chinese thinking, when it slithers on its own body, rearing its head, the serpent is ready to defend itself from any attack. By using this analogy, it is possible to conclude that those born in the year of the Snake are reserved and defensive in attitude.

In opposition to other ambitious zodiac signs, people influenced by the Snake tend not to show off their power and hopes for the future overtly. Often, these only become evident when the Snake, leaving its apparent idleness to one side, suddenly lunges in attack, moving its body faster than the eye can see.
In general, they achieve what they desire with no visible effort, much more as a result of an intelligent analysis of the situation rather than the fruits of simple labour.
