THE YEAR OF THE SNAKE
A year for reflection, planning and searching answers. This will be a lively
time for romance, courtship and scandals of all sorts. A good time for shrewd
dealings, political affairs and coups d'état. People will be more likely to
scheme and ponder over matters before acting on them. An auspicious year for
commerce and industry. Solutions and compromises can be arrived at, but not
without some mutual distrust at first. The Snake likes to resolve his
differences one way or another. If he fails and things cannot be peacefully
settled, then he will declare war.
Looking back into history, we find that the year of the Snake has never
been tranquil. Perhaps this is because it is the strongest negative force in the
cycle and it follows the Dragon year, which is the strongest positive one. Many
disasters which had their beginning in the year of the Dragon tend to culminate
in the year of the Snake. These two signs are very closely related and the
calamities of the Snake years often resulted from excesses committed during the
Dragons reign.
The venerable wisdom of the Snake will be evident in many facets of our
life, particularly those requiring decisions. Although everything may look
refreshingly quiet on the surface, the year of the Snake is always
unpredictable. The Snake's cool and collected front hides the deep and
mysterious ways of his nature. It should be noted that once the Snake uncoils to
strike, he moves like lightning and nothing can be as sudden and devastating.
Tread lightly and be more cautious this year. Gambling and speculation
is strictly taboo. The consequences will be overwhelming. The Snake is not
merciful.
Whatever else happens, the Snake will give us faith in our convictions
and coerce us to act and to act forcefully during his reign. This is not a year
for fence-sitters.
