Year of the Snake

People born in the Year of the Snake are often described as calm and perceptive; you do not say much, but when you speak you tend to hit the point. You like to watch before you act, study the information closely before deciding, and you can keep a secret. The sticking point is being slow to trust and keeping everything inside, which makes you hard to get close to. Opening up a little more to one or two people you trust gives you extra support.

Love

In love you are devoted and quietly magnetic, and once you commit you go deep. When you want to know where your partner stands, asking directly works better than watching from a distance; trust is built by talking.

Work

At work you suit research, strategy and analysis, or roles that need judgement and discretion. Sharing what you see with your team is how your insight gets noticed.
