		Mine is the wisdom of the ages.
		I hold the key to the mysteries of life.
		Casting my seeds on fertile ground
		I nurture them with constancy and purpose.
		My sights are fixed.
		My gaze unchanging.
		Unyielding, inexorable and deep
		I advance with steady, unslackened gait,
		The solid earth beneath me.

		I am the Snake.

Philosopher, theologian, political wizard, wily financier - the Snake person is the deepest thinker and enigma of the Chinese cycle. He is endowed with an inborn wisdom of his very own; a mystic in his own right. Graceful and soft-spoken, he loves good books, food, music, the theater; he will gravitate toward all the finer things in life. The most beautiful women and powerful men tend to be born under this sign. So if you are one of the Snake people, you are in good company.

A person of this sign generally relies on his own judgment and does not communicate well with others. He can deeply religious or psychic, or on the other hand, totally hedonistic. Either way, he trusts his own vibrations rather than outside advice. More often than not...he will be right.
