The Snake carries the meanings of malevolence, craftiness and mystery, as well as acumen, divination and the ability to distinguish herbs. But people born in the year of the Snake often have a good temper and a skill at communicating but say little. They possess gracious morality and great wisdom.
Snakes like fields with soft earth that allow them to dig their holes quickly. This field is often soft as it is near a river and the area has a high water table.
