After a very beautiful sheet in 2000, the 2001 sheet is a bit less spectacular, but still it deserves its place in the hall of fame of special sheets. The sixth sign of the asian zodiac is the Snake.
People born in the Year of the Snake are seductive, gregarious, introverted, generous, charming, analytical, insecure, jealous, slightly dangerous, smart, and good with money. They rely on gut feelings, are hard-working and intelligent.
The Snake: There are few animals with more symbolic associations than the snake. Chinese mythology holds that a half-human snake was the father of the Chinese emperors. They are associated with beauty and wisdom, esoteric knowledge and spiritual discovery.
Snake people will face danger
fearlessly and deal with unforeseen disasters. They are not annoyed by
lack of money and are usually lucky enough to own everything they need.
They can be successful as long as they avoid excess spending. Although
they are intuitive, they should avoid dive right into decisions without
weighing the consequences.
