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

’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
Becky
