Born in the Year of the Snake? What are Your Auspicious Gifts?

In Chinese culture, the Snake is very different from Western depictions of this animal. Rather than being sly and treacherous (as in the West), the Chinese Snake is considered to be enigmatic and to have highly intuitive powers.

Snakes are private and reserved, but they are highly self-motivated and do not like to fail or do anything but excel at a new undertaking, and they will ignore the opinions of others and act according to their own judgment and high standards.

The Chinese Snake symbolizes intelligence, deep thought, and wisdom, with the ability to communicate much while saying as little as possible.

Snakes can be materialistic and love to keep up with the latest trends, although shopping to get those trends is the last thing they want to do. This is because Snakes are loners and shun boisterous crowds and chaos. They can become easily stressed or mentally exhausted and require time and space alone to recharge.
