About The Snake
Snake
Mythology and legends both are integral parts of Chinese culture, particularly that of the Chinese Zodiac. This Zodiac, which dates its origins to thousands of years ago, is comprised in part of twelve animals who share but one common element: they appear in the Chinese Zodiac as reward for making their appearances in response to an invitation. The exact nature of such an invitation and subsequent appearance is open for debate. However, one thing is clear: these animals are each linked irrevocably to human personalities, and none has greater charisma than that of the formidable snake.
Characteristics
The snake is the sixth sign of the Chinese Zodiac. This symbol represents such characteristics as materialism, grace, and intelligence. Snakes are notoriously effective at getting what they want, and they effectively will employ schemes and plots to aide them in their pursuits. With regard to making decisions, snakes prefer to cautiously analyze their situations. In this way, they move slowly and deliberately.
As a rule, snakes prefer luxurious surroundings and seek the most premium of possessions that they can afford. This trait is particularly noticeable in a snake’s home, where he or she demonstrates a preference for indulgence and opulence. Such finery helps create the peace that is necessary for a snake to flourish.
Love
Seduction comes as second nature to snakes. They possess great physical attraction and often tempt others, but snakes conduct all of the pursuing within a relationship. They decide the potential for success in an affair, and once they begin a quest, they are quite convincing. Snakes desire only those companions who appreciate a distinct sense of humor and a madcap handling of difficult situations.
Once a partner has been selected, the snake is a jealous and nearly obsessive lover. He or she does not take kindly to betrayal, and snakes are known to readily seek revenge in the face of adversity. Snakes guard their companions much like they do their possessions - with dangerous intensity.
Finances
People born in the year of the snake have notoriously good luck with money. They possess an innate ability to handle complex situations with steely resolve. Accordingly, snakes usually find professional success and financial independence. The snake handles money with care and tries to avoid outlandish spending sprees. Their taste for the sumptuous, however, sometimes leads snakes to financial ruin.
Career
As in every aspect of their lives, snakes are diligent and creative. They are avid problem-solvers and work well independently. Snakes know how to present themselves to others, so they are natural leaders and often are ready for the next challenge. Ideal career choices for snakes include:
