The Snake is the sixth sign in the Chinese zodiac. Snakes are charmers. They have a unique way of getting others to fall head over heels for them. Snakes can’t always be trusted. They have a tendency to stretch the truth or tell white lies. If you do something to hurt a Snake, watch your back. On the other hand, Snakes are kind and understanding. A Snake will judge you by her first impression, so be on your best behaviour when you meet one. Snakes don’t have to worry too much about money. They seem to get it when they need it. When they have it, they are a bit stingy. In the Western world, a Snake is considered a sly person you can’t trust. Calling someone a Snake in the East, is a compliment to her beauty. Snakes prefer hot weather and tend to hibernate³ in the winter months. They also prefer a quiet, calm environment.
