SnakeIn our Judeo-Christian society, snakes don't have a good image.  It was, after all, the snake's body in which our own devil chose to hide whilst tempting poor Eve with an apple. But in the Chinese culture, snakes are considered both wise and beautiful, beneficial and sensual.  Therefore, my Aunt Florence's comment about her handsome neighbor who made off with his wife's hairdresser, "That snake!," doesn't always hold true. Snakes can be ultravirtuous people.  Except of course when they are lying.

SnakeSnakes are always beautiful.  Even if they are not classically pretty to look at, there is a quality about Snakes that makes them lovely to look at.  Snakes dress well and even a bit ostentatiously.  They apply cosmetics and drape jewelry and fix up this and tack up that just the way it should be.  Snakes have a natural talent for elegance.  They adore accessories, scarves, gloves, hats, Cartier watches, Louis Vuitton luggage and - well - money.

SnakeIn China, to tell a man that he is a "veritable snake" is the summit of compliments.  And why not?  Snakes are fabulous people.  Not only do they look sensational, but they are wise.

SnakeAsk a Snake for advice and he will sit down, ponder and consider before replying.  Because Snakes have inborn intuition about almost everything, they get a lot of hunches. They are frequently clairvoyant.  What's more, they can strike with unmitigated cheek at a moment's notice, cut an adversary to the quick and slink away with impunity.

SnakeWhy do you suppose almost all snake people are rich? They always seem to have money coming out of their silken sleeves and yet, when you take a good look, they don't seem to have to work too hard to come by their wealth.  It must be the charm and the inimitable attractiveness that causes the pennies to rise from the pockets of others and float into those elegant, decorative purses Snakes are so famous for.

SnakeIn fact, if I tell you the whole truth about Snakes, I have to admit that although some of my best friends are Snakes, they all have a dreadful streak of laziness.  Indolence is the Snake's real and only enemy.  He must fight every day to move up and forward and go and do.  Inside, the Snake has enormous ambition.  But the will is not always the way.  Snake people must do daily battle with the great god gravity, get out of their cozy beds and slither out into the big cold world.

SnakeSnakes are possessive.  No.  Not possessive.  Snakes are positively feudal about their mates.  They are said to roll themselves around the loved one until the person is smothered by their enchanting beauty and charm.  Certain unsuspecting people are well-advised to stay away from Snakes.

SnakeSnakes are extravagant and are known to purchase enormously expensive items without a qualm.  However, much of the time the Snake is close with his wealth and is loath to spend money on day-to-day routine items. Splurging is fun but buying the milk is a chore.  The Snake likes to recline and prefers cake to bread anyway.
