They also never forgive you if you break a promise. By nature they are skeptical beings but they keep their suspicions to themselves. They are very private and are never concerned with the business of others. Idle gossip is not for the snake. They can be possessive in their relationships with others.
Snakes are passionate people, but also jealous lovers.
They can appear quiet and passive, but watch out, they never betray their true feelings. Their moves are planned out well in advance and they will hold their position to the end. They can be evasive, and just when you think you have them, they slip away. Being based on strength, they always maintain their presence of mind during confusion or in crisis. Whatever happens, snakes always strike out for themselves.
