Snake

The Snake

The Yin fire animal.

Corresponding Western Sign: Taurus

In the West, the snake is often seen as evil. However, the snake of Chinese mythology is associated with beauty and wisdom. Snakes may appear languid and serene, but their minds are always active. They think very deeply, and give good advice, even if they do not like taking advice themselves.
Snakes may often be mistaken as being lazy, but they are very hard-working, and their secret is their efficiency. They find the quickest, most economical way of completing the task, so they have plenty of time to relax.
