Snakes are a bit tight when it comes to lending money, though their sympathy for others often leads them to offer help. If a Snake does somebody a favor, he becomes possessive toward them in an odd way, so that finally he is more a hindrance than a help. The snake's serpentine nature leads him to coil and cling to the point where he can suffocate the object of his attention. He will always be able to get money when he needs it, and he feels this so strongly that it has never bothered him at all. In old age he can become quite miserly.
Snakes are notoriously good looking and like to project the best image of themselves that they can.
Whether in looks or in circumstances, Snakes simply have a magical knack of making the very best out of the most mediocre. As with real snakes, which hibernate in the cold season and come out when it's warm, Snake people shine in the hot months. And the Snake born at midday in the heat of a tropical summer will be happier than one born in the middle of an icy night in winter. The destiny of those born under this sign is so sensitive to the inclemencies of climate that the almanac warns Snakes born on a stormy day that they will face danger throughout their lives. The Snake personality is described as careful, and when it comes to the choice of a partner these people are infinitely selective.
