Wise and determined, people born in the Year of the Snake let their actions speak for them. Failure is not an option for Snake people. They are full of passion and intensity that belies their outward cool. Extremely self-reliant, Snake people also have great sympathy for the less fortunate and find ways to help as much as they can. They are not only smart with their money, but often lucky as well. They are also generally physically attractive and command lots of attention. Snake people are most compatible with people born in the Year of the Ox and Rooster.
