Chinese Year Of The Snake |
![]() |
The Tantalising Snake
The Snake is Yang (male)
Snake years are: 1905 ~ 1917 ~ 1929 ~ 1941 ~ 1953 ~ 1965 ~ 1977 ~ 1989 ~ 2001 ~ 2013 ~ 2025.
This is a list of symbols that you, as a Snake, should surround yourself with as they will help you to become your true self and give you a feeling of happiness and comfort.
Tree - ~ Palm ~ Food - Caviare ~ Flower - Camellia ~ Fragrance- Musk ~ Birthstone- Opal ~ Number- 3 ~ Animal- Turtle Dove ~ Spice- Curry ~ Herb- Fennel ~ Drink- Champagne ~ Metal- Platinum ~ Colour- Ice Blue.
If you were to walk up to a woman in China and call her a Snake she would most probably be flattered. If you did this in any other country you would more than likely get slapped. Westerners do not want to be considered a Snake. However, Snakes are beautiful, in some way they are all gorgeous. You will never see an ungroomed Snake. They don’t exist. Cosmetics, Jewelery and all sorts of things are sacred to the Snake. They are accessory nuts as well and will no doubt have cupboards brimming with bags and scarves, all of course, designer. They wouldn’t, couldn’t have it any other way.
One of the Snakes lesser qualities is their laziness. Mornings are not their favorite time of day and having to get up and be at work on time can be testing for this slinky creature. They must battle daily to stay alert and fight the desire to slither off back to their lair of silken sheets.
Snake people don’t tend to just fall in love, they enchant their lovers. They swirl around them taking in every part of the other persons being until they are one. This is also known as a bad case of possessiveness. For the Snake loves to have complete faithfulness in a partner, which is strange as they are not always that good at it themselves, they are so good at charming people and so attractive that people often just fall at their feet, and they find refusing such a horrible thing to have to do, we wouldn’t’ want to hurt the persons feelings now would we?!!
Snakes always seem to have their pockets full of money. And they do love to go out and buy some seriously expensive items. I have known Snake women with so many expensive shoes and bags they have had to have a room dedicated to them. However, they are not spend thrift and probably are not the best people to go to for a loan. They don’t mind the occasional shopping spree but are useless at the mundane everyday household grocery type of shopping, so their cupboards are very often filled with Champagne, cakes and salmon. They are not bread and milk people, and even less, meat and two veg.
Snakes are not one of the healthier signs of the Chinese Zodiac. And illness’ can start in childhood especially if there is a lot of stress around them. This can lead to ailments when they are older such as kidney stones and digestive and urinary tract infections. To try and combat this the Snake should always try and drink plenty of water, and then it should be the finest mineral water to keep his system clean. It is a must to stay away from fizzy wines and although Champagne is drunk like water by Snakes, it is a definite no no I’m afraid. They also don’t recover well from illness and injury and normally stay coiled up for quite some time before emerging to take on another day. The Snake must try and take gentle exercise such as swimming and perhaps jogging. Certainly not anything too heavily physical such as boxing and even tennis. They must rest often and give their delicate mind time to unravel.
Snakes are most compatible with: Roosters and Oxen are known to keep you in check. Dragons you will enjoy immensely between the sheets but Tigers are one of the worst alliances you could make, as is the meeting of your nemesis the Pig!

Pleaz help. My step mother is a snake, I am a pig. She has been so mean to me ever since my dad married her. It has caused me not to have much of a relationship with my dad. What should I do? Should I stay away or try to have some sort of a relationship?
my mum is a snake, and is beautiful. she always loves her nails done lol. my mums best friend is a pig, and really get on! i mean they have there moments. but they get on :S my mum dont get on with my sister tho who is a tiger. they fight alot i try to stay out of it lol. i love my mum to bits tho! we get on very well
I am a bear and once met a snake scorpio.
She was flirting, I kept my distance but felt attracted as well. Well, soon the contact deteriorated into drama and pain, with a snake lying and a tongue acting like a knife. It was very hurting and still ask myself why i had to meet her. I won’t go into further details to keep this an anonymous report.
Keep your distance towards snakes that lie ! (not all of them do, to me, and I learned my lesson as well).
Hi there,
Thank you for your comment, but I was just wondering about the year of the Bear. I have studied Chinese Astrology for a long while now and I have never heard it used as one of the 12 animals of the zodiac! I’d be interested in finding out if you don’t mind
Love & Light

’scuse me - i meant Boar, Pig of course. In our language, a male bora is called the equivalent of a ‘bear’. that explains a little of the unsolicited confusion. if any further explanation about a ‘boar’ is need, i’ll try to be helpful
Hey Dude C,
Hahahaha. Your language is funny and interesting which can’t differentiate between a Boar/Bora (Pig)and a Bear. I would certainly love to learn that. Would you teach me that. Sounds fun.
Chill
You forgot to mention just how downright sensual Snakes are, as much as they try to repress it.
I had a question about Horse/Snake compatibility. Nearly every website I go to says that we are “opposites” or we’d be better off as casual friends, but I highly doubt it because I’ve yet to see proof of that, in mine or anyone else’s experience. I’m a Horse and my one of my most succesful relationships was with a Snake. Some of my longer-lasting and more loyal friendships are with Snakes. I also tend to be highly attracted to most if not all Snakes I encounter. So, what gives? Why are Horse/Snake couples frowned upon constantly?
Hi HL,
Your right, snakes are sensual and yes snakes and horses do make a teriffic team. And you are also right that a lot of people frown upon it. Snake people are enchanting and us Horses do get struck by their charm almost instantly. And yes there can be many pleasurable times to be had with these two. Like you I have also had a few very good snake friends but I do think the reason we stayed friends for 20 years was more to do with her other signs than just the Chinese Zodiac. Snakes can be a tad too slippery for Horses in the long term and it certainly isn’t wise to enter into marriage with one if you happen to be one of the more possesive Horse people. But your point was well made and thank you for sharing it
Love & Light

P.S The Chinese section just like the rest of my site isn’t fully up and running yet, there will be a lot mroe info to come in the future!
Hiya,
i’m a libra-snake! when i first found out i was a snake in chinese zodiac, i freaked out a bit but it’s actually quite a good sign!
you are so right about everything on this page. although i don’t drink. but yea i do love accessories and stuff. and you’re right about horses and snakes.
toodles!
Hey,
Oh wow, I’m a snake. I know for sure that I’m a “charmer” but not to an extent. Also, I must admit I’m quite lazy but we snakes have critical brains. Interesting part about Boars/Pigs, (the opposite and “enemy”) they always come in my way and I find them very different. I fall for them than any other. I don’t know why. My mother was born under a Pig. She’s a VERY domestic home-ly loyal mother who wants her home to be very clean consistently. We do have big fights. We don’t really understand each other but we resolve it often. If you have a Pig and Snake compatibility there will be major, I mean MAJOR highs and lows for sure.
hi there,
am a lady snake, pisces and AB+ blood type. you should know about blood types too. blood types are based on one’s personality. most of the people don’t know and don’t bother about about their blood types. it’s true and it’s more interesting. if you know you have the same blood type, you know exactly what personality you will have.
chinese signs, zodiac signs plus blood type=it goes well !!!
I am year of the snake, but more interesting is that I was actually born on the day of the fire dragon. This symbolizing my personality more so than snake. The year of birth has more to do with ancestral relation, the month being parental relation, and the day being the personality. And of course the hour signifying your appearance to the world. Visit www.chineseastrologyonline.com and click concise reading to find your own.
I am also a snake, I found it very interesting that I was born during the year of the snake and the time makes me a Fire Snake. Also, my location of birth was in the place translated by Mayan as the Snakes Nest.
The descriptions are very liking to my personality, which adds even more intrigue to the chinese zodiac. I’m O Positive though and do not know much about the blood affect on me, I’ll look into it. If you were to share a little more on the subject I’d be appreciative though.
We do not lie, but I will tell you that there is a fine line between lying and its crossing is based upon the persons intent. I find the gift bestowed upon snakes is that we are able to describe or tell things from a point of view which a person can mis interpret, hence consider us a liar which is not the case.
I guess you could think that a snake who is young or unlearned in “not being selfish too much” can hurt people, not really wanting to though because it is our nature to help.
I am definitely a problem solver as I am described.
Thank You
Goodbye
“The truth will set you free.”
hi there!!
yes! indeed…i agree how you defined lady snakes..im a taurus-lady snake..and i loved food,music, money and expensive things. I don’t easily give-up because i love myself..well im a quite stubborn girl sometimes and i hate plastic friends…coz i consider myself a true one…honestly!!im an honest lover and flattered easily with love stories, and success…
This is my eastern sign…
hi im snake-virgo… could u plz tell how good/bad it is…
thanks a lot i like this site:)
i know a snake and she is just liek this. so i believe it! plus i’m a rat and im exactly like the descriptions i read of rats.
i hate the snake i know btw..i dont think rats and snakes get along.
omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i love the snakes… i am a 27 year old pisces/rooster…and in love with a aqarius/snake…..my first relationship and i feel like she is going to be my last!!!!!!!!!!!!!i love her so much….you all are so sexy and great leaders..i read about you all, all the time….and the more i read about snakes, the more aroused i become..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
I am a Libra born in the year of Fire Snake.
The description somewhat matches me specially in possesiveness and extravagance. We are not liars but the thing is we know how to communicate. And for sure as what most snakes says here…”we are true and loyal” and we are really lovable,chanrming and we Give a lot in the name of love.
i am a rooster, deeply, deeply in love with my snake..yes indeed you all are very charming, very sexy, very wise, very lovable,great leaders and can be very possessive over the things or ppl that you love and posses…i love snake ppl..i love you all so much, especially my sexy snake……i cant get enough of her……..
@ Solidus. ‘We do not lie’? Then why did actually the snake that I met lie - as its character description in genereal terms also suggests. She lied over the use of drugs. To me, there’s no actual way that’s more harmful to ‘respect’ towards any other person than ‘lying’. You either take yourself and the other serious, or you just create an image of yourself.
Curious to know how people can actually lie without excusing themselves for it.And without having a reason for it.
It’s well beyond my ethics anyway.
I’m a fire snake and completely the opposite of your description of snakes. I love mornings, I get up at 4:30 to hit the gym every morning, I’m totally not lazy, I don’t have designer clothes and bags though I could afford it, and as far as appearances I like not looking “put together”.
Snake and Dragon Compatibility:
I am a Capricorn/Earth Snake female and I would like to know if a relationship with my Sagittarius/Earth Dragon male would be sucessful in the long term?!
The western zodiac suggests that this is not a good match however the chinese zodiac has on occasion described us intimately and with surprisng accuracy maybe it is this zodiac which can find a redeeming quality in our “incompatible” realtionship?!

Can anyone shed any light on this for me please?
I am a Taurus/Snake male. My perfect match was a Cancer/Tiger. I say “was” because I lost her to death when she ran a stop sign back in 1999. I was absolutely crushed! Almost 10 years later, I’m still in love with her and my heart won’t give itself up completely when I try new relationships. It’s frustrating, but at the same time very natural to display this kind of loyal behavior. I hope this helps someone with the same signs… in a way, it helped me to understand myself after all this time. -Franklin
I am a snake and my boyfriend is a pig. i read from another site about our animals for 2009 and this is the result
“Not a very good match. The clever, ambitious, influencing Snake might find the cute, cuddly and bubbly Pig to be too much of a blah. Both are idea people they are just different in the way they approach life and love. Both will only end up misinterpreting each other’s actions. The Snake might wander off in pursuit of opportunities assuming the Pig will be there when it returns. The Pig will be there but he or she might be pursuing an idea of his or her own and will not no more feel so much attached to the Snake which might spark a lot of jealousy in the Snake.”
i find it is kind of true because my bf hasnt been paying much attention to me. back a couple months ago when we first dated, he was really into the relationship until we had our first argument during the end of december.he use to text me a heaps and call me everynight. From then onto 2009, we havnt been that close. we talked things out and agreed to work on this relationship but i feel that his not putting much effort. he barely sms me and calls me some nights.now he make up excuses that he cant see me and turns out he goes to see his friends instead. i also think he calls or talks to other girls online as well.
do pigs cheat in a relationship? or do they get bored of it easily? do they change their minds on what they say?
cause my bf told me when we first dated that im a good girl (cooks, clean, dont go out much) and he feels i am the last person for him and he wants to marry me. but when we had our 3rd argument, he wanted to break up and said to me “i thought u were the one for me but i guess not” do pigs change their minds?
i noticed his being changing as well. he told me he didnt smoke but then he re-told me and said only once in a while but these days his been smoking a lot. he even gamble heaps nowadays.
is there a way where i can make things better for me as a snake and he as a pig? i really do not want to lose him.
how can i make our Chinese zodiac work out? are there certain things i must do?
by the way, he and i are both mature and grown up peoples so please don’t think im a 15 year old when i said he wanted to marry me when we first dated. we have met each others family and we are serious.
i want to know more about a snake and pig before he and i plan to start a family by next year.
A married lady who is a taurus snake tried to snatch my husband away. She is married with 4 small kids. My husband is a very handsome and succesful man and she slithered her way into his heart and mind and body and soul. She is ruthless and selfish.
I was pregnant and so very distraught at the discovery of the affair. My husband left her soon after but she won’t admit defeat.
My hubby is an aries pig and I am an aquarius pig.
She is such a conniving snake..her husband doesn’t even know abt wat she had done. SHe was planning on making us divorce so she could have my husband for herself.
I hate her and can NEVER forgive dat taurus snake women.
They lie, charm and seduce for their own good and happiness.
Hi there Luvly, Thank you for your comment and for sharing this with us. I am so sorry you have suffered in this way, I too have experienced something very similar but with a Dragon female not a snake. You lovely Pig’s don’t deserve that at all, you are all so lovely.
Love & Light
Becky
quick question becky. i dont understand what chinese sign i am, why? well i would think i am a horse cause i was born in 1990 but every single time i reasech it on the internet it tells me i am a snake.
if i was born jan 24, 1990 does that make me a snake or a horse?
also because i sae somewhere that snake goes up to jan 26 1990…
Hi there Kay,
Thank you for your comment. Yes, it’s always a bit confusing finding out what Chinese sign you are when your birthday is at the beginning of the ‘Western’ year. You arehowever a Snake, a Metal Snake at that! Some other Metal Snakes are: Otis Redding - Picasso - Franklin Roosevelt - Bob Dylan - Aretha Franklin - Muhammad Ali - So you are in quite good company!
Love & Light
Becky
thank you for your response becky =). i am suprised with metal snake because i sometime see earth snake.
Any snake here in love with a rabbit?
I totally agree with the description of The Snakes.I am a Pisces, fire snake(1977).I am the most possesive almost obssesive woman with thoses close to me,my kids, my parents sometimes I feel like I am gonna drive my husband insane he is a Dragon fire (1977),Aquarius.Before I got married I felt pretty “lucky in love” because it seemed that I could attract almost any guy I wanted.I am a faithful wife so I dont care if someone is interested ine me or not anymore that much .I also really like feeling super comfortable maybe to an exageration.Ofcourse I like the best of everything,doesnt everyone?,but the difference is thatI always obtain it.
Libran rooster here. I find myself irresistably drawn to an Aquarian Snake. I wonder how he feels? Anyway it’s good to dream. My castles in the air and how great life could be..
I had a bad case of fatal attraction with a Scorpio dog once.
I am a libra-snake, and i constantly get attention from both woman and man. Its frustrating as people tell me that I send off signals or tend to flirt? Strange thing is i don’t think I do…
To Candy:
I am an /Earth Snake Lady and was in love with a Leo/Fire Rabbit. The relationship was ended by the rabbit who was unsatisfied when I thought it was perfect. The quietness of a rabbit will never last with someone who is a strong snake. They make excellent friends though, just don’t give into the temptation that naturally attracts the snake.
Hey I thought I was the only one who thought astrology was interesting. Snakes are my favorite animal, its just an urgee. I’m a guy yes an aquarian/snake (Charles Darwin, Abraham Lincoln, Dr. Dre, oprah winfrey). I was born under 2 intuitive signs. I was born on the digital day, last day of aquarius the 18th. I am Fire+Fire. My rising is Gemeni
