The Snake

The Snake, quite simply, leads a charmed life! Diplomatic and popular, the serpentine ones are lucky with money and will generally have more than they need. Even if money isn't their greatest pursuit, they will always have more than enough to survive. The charming and generous qualities ascribed to Snakes will allow them to attract many potential mates. No snake eyes here! Quite the opposite, since the seductive Snake has many fans. It's that they're so darned irresistible - slightly dangerous and disarmingly smart. They're also one of the more philosophical signs. That dreamlike quality means that logic doesn't always weigh into their thought process, preferring as they do to use feelings and instinct when making decisions. Snakes give little credence to the opinions of others, relying instead on their own gut and intuition. Despite their natural physical ability and lively personalities, Snakes have a tendency to be insecure, something which can manifest itself as jealousy and possessiveness. This behavior often ends up alienating the ones they love, when a bit of vulnerability would have yielded better results. Snakes can be tight with a buck, yet they'll find a way to come through for friends and family, if only to secure their love. The slippery Snake is also prone to exaggeration, however these tall tales are told for the sake of comfort level, especially in social situations. Snakes simply cannot bear to be the odd man out, and will fight to the bitter end to win back those who have abandoned them. Snakes can be so unsure of themselves that perceived slights are capable of escalating into full-on range wars! Further, they'll do whatever it takes to be the center of attention. Slithery as they are, they can work both sides of the fence (showboat or shrinking violet) with aplomb. Snakes also detest those with no follow-through or an inability to get things done. They know how to get on with the program themselves and want the same from others. An important lesson for Snakes is humility, along with a sense of self. That tendency to exaggerate, along with a need to do it all, can get pretty old. Once Snakes realize that confidence comes from within, they'll finally be comfortable in their own skin.
