The Snake Personality

Defining characteristics:

Of all the signs, the Snake symbolizes: depth and

Making Decisions:

To understand how the Snake operates, it is important to know Snake is a Yin and a head sign.

Being a Yin sign person, you are best served by using an indirect or non-aggressive approach to life. You tend to be reactive rather than proactive.As a head sign person, you are most comfortable basing decisions on logic.

Positive Traits:

Alert, calm, charismatic, cultivated, curious, decisive, intuitive, refined, reflective, soft spoken, tenacious, and wise.

The Snake's many interests and insatiable thirst for knowledge result in an increasingly complex persona. The Snake is a karmic sign, which means they will probably experience many high highs and low lows in their lives. With their wisdom and charisma, which has an almost magical quality, they probably command our respect more than any other sign. Like the Rat and Monkey, Snakes spend a lot of time in their heads, but they are not worriers. Rather, they pass their quiet time in reflection and contemplation. This, together with their love of learning, is what gives them such great depth. Of all the signs of the Chinese zodiac, the Snake is most closely associated with wisdom.

Although the Snake is more than willing to share their knowledge, they have a penchant for secrecy when it comes to their personal lives. This adds an aura of mystery to their already commanding presence. And, what you see is not what you get.

In fact there is always more to learn about the Snake. Just when you think you know the Snake, you find out the Snake has developed a totally new interest. Not only that you discover they have quickly grasped the subject.

It would not, however, be easy to heed that warning. More than any other sign, the Snake knows how to present itself in the most favorable light. They are never flamboyant or ostentatious. Most are fully aware of their karmic status and do not feel a need to impress anybody. But, when the spirit moves them, they will appear as the most dazzling personality on the scene.

Nevertheless, the Snake is basically a live and let live type person. If you treat the Snake right and earn their respect, they will return the favor and add immeasurably to the quality of your life.

It is always a danger
To the aspirant
On the
Path

When one begins
To believe and
Act

As if the ten thousand idiots
Who so long ruled
And lived
Inside

Have all packed their bags
And skipped town
Or
Died.

Hafiz translation by Daniel Ladinsky
