The year of the Snake begins January 24th, 2001. Coiling and hissing at us comes the Chinese Year of the Snake on January 24, 2001. Traditionally, the Snake has some characteristics in common with the animal of the preceding year, the Dragon. People born in the Year of the Snake tend to be deep thinkers, philosophers, and since they are so good with money, often become financiers.
Snake people are charming, and like the Dragon, attract attention wherever they go.
But, unlike the Dragon, the Snake native tends to be a big less extroverted and more soft spoken. The Snake also tends to be seen as a more cultured person and loves classical books, great food, good wine, etc. Their social skills are highly refined. The Snake may often be seen as acting as though they are a law unto themselves. Even though the Snake is very adept at social niceties, he or she, does have the tendency to be somewhat autocratic and makes up his or her mind quickly and with great finality.
