In depth

• At your bestperceptive and composed — you understand far more than you let on.
• Driveto see clearly, and to act only when the moment is actually right.
• In relationshipsdevoted and deep, but slow to let anyone all the way in.
• Watch-outsecrecy for its own sake, and a jealousy you’d never admit to.

Each year also carries an element. Wood Snake brings growth and generosity — expansive, co-operative, always reaching for more room; Fire Snake brings heat and drive — passionate, restless, quick to act and quick to burn; Earth Snake brings weight and patience — steady, practical, the one who stays put and endures; Metal Snake brings edge and resolve — determined, self-contained, unwilling to bend; Water Snake brings depth and flow — reflective, persuasive, finding the way around rather than through.
