2013 Year of the Snake …
Chinese Year of the black water snake …
Overall, a year for financial interests, politics, spiritual awakening, transformation, evolving, changing & growing, releasing old habits & patterns, business, calculated speculation & investment.
Snakes are intelligent, wise, philosophical, powerful, graceful & manipulating. They enjoy discussion, debate & business but get bored easily with inane conversation. Snakes are resourceful & productive (similar to Western sign Taurus), quick to assess danger & even quicker to respond. Snake rules the hours of 9-11am, as the sun warms up they emerge from their sanctuary to bask in the heat of the day. This makes Snakes sensual & seductive, alluring & attracting their desires. Snake co-habits peacefully with other snakes & works well with Ox, Rooster or Dragon.
Theodora Lau still has the most comprehensive book on the subject outlining the twelve animal totems & the combination of western astrology with the Chinese zodiac. The handbook investigates each sign, discusses the elements & also looks at relationships from the synastry of zodiac personalities. It’s a fun & informative read & is now in its seventh revised edition. “The Handbook of Chinese Horoscopes” even has its own website!
