Most people are secretly or hopelessly in love with Snakes. Gather those frustrated folk you know and most likely, they are probably in love with a Snake. Irresistible as they seem, the Snake never wastes time in idle gossip. They are intellectuals, philosophers and cerebral person. Snakes rely heavily on first impressions and on their own feelings and sympathies, rather than on facts or on the advice and opinions on others. They seem to have a kind of sixth sense in this way.

Snakes are a bit tight when it comes to lending money, though their sympathy for others often leads them to offer help. The fatal flaw in their character is, in fact, a tendency to exaggerate - in helping friends as with everything else. If they help somebody with a favor, they can become possessive towards them in an odd way. Another big flaw in a Snake's character is that, they are capable of bigger lies. White lies, true lies, whatever they call them, though they don't lie often, they do lie when they feel they can get away with it.

In money matters, the Snake has good luck: they don't have to worry - they will always be able to lay their hand on money when they need it. Generally, Snakes are careful but generous with friends and family. The Snake should stick to careers that won't involve any risk - even the risk of working too hard, for to tell the truth, the Snake is a bit lazy. In love, the male Snake is romantic and charming. He has a sense of humor and the female is usually beautiful and successful. The male Snake is jealous and possessive - even if he no longer loves his partner. Rejection is the worst blow his delicate ego can suffer. Snake need a lot of security and want to be accepted and approved by everyone.
