This could be taken metaphorically to mean that a Snake could never have a problem with his family starving because he is such a great mediator, making him good at business. Or it could mean that a Snake would be willing to sacrifice his possessions, something the Snake has a lot of, in order to pay for his family\u2019s food. Any way it is interpreted is representative of the Snake\u2019s character and is a measure of the value he puts on his material wealth. The Snake is keen and cunning, quite intelligent and wise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"CENTER\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"><b>Years of the Snake<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"><i>Snake Years are sixth in the cycle, following the Dragon Years, and recur every twelfth year.

They are attractive people who take cries with ease and do not become flustered easily.

He can appear cunning and reticent and works very modestly in the business environment. The Snake will plot and scheme to make certain things turn out exactly as they want them to. They are not great communicators and can become quite possessive when they set their minds on achieving the interest of a partner.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ancient Chinese wisdom says a Snake in the house is a good omen because it means your family will not starve.
