Chinese zodiac
π Snake
Already knew, just didn't say so yet.
- perceptive
- private
- elegant
- calculating
Snakes gather everything and reveal almost nothing, which makes them the person in the room who actually knows what's going on. Trust one and you get real loyalty back. Reading one is another matter.
That privacy works like a filter. Snakes will tell you exactly what they think once they've decided you can be trusted with it, and almost nothing before. In relationships that makes the early stage feel slower than it is; what's actually happening is careful, continuous evaluation, running the whole time underneath the calm.
At best / what to watch for
At their best: Knows the answer before anyone else has finished the question.
Watch for: Withholding information long after trust would justify sharing it.
Who the Snake matches
Best natural match: Monkey. Natural allies: Ox and Rooster. Hardest match: Pig.

Born in January or February? You may belong to the year before, because the animal changes at Lunar New Year, not January 1.
Not sure if youβre actually the Snake?
The Chinese zodiac year turns over on the lunar new year, not January 1. If you were born in late January or February, the year printed on most sites can be wrong.

Why two Snakes can be so different
The zodiac animal uses one fact about your birth: the year. Saju, the Korean birth chart, uses the year, month, day and hour, weighed as five elements. That is why two Snakes born twelve years apart can come out very differently.
