Characteristics of the Chinese Zpdiac Snake
|
In ancient Chinese history the serpent is known as the Chinese zodiac snake. It sits with the other eleven animals that are apart of the Chinese calender.
Coming after the dragon years, the snake is the sixth sign in order and it peak ruling hours are in the early hours between nine and eleven. Its direction faces the southern and southeastern regions and the title it carries is "I think".
The season of the serpent is in the spring and the month of May. Its element is fire and the lunar months are May fifth through June fifth. Its gemstone is opal and the signature colors of the serpent are red and ice blue. It is a standard equivalent to the Western symbol called the Taurus, which is represented by the bull.
With a polarity of Yin, several countries are placed in sync with it. Some of these countries are Mongolia, Lithuania, Saudi Arabia, Trinidad, Tobago, Latvia and Estonia. As with all the other signs, it is also pared with five elements. Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, and Metal are all apart of a five year cycle that is based off a twelve year calender.
The main focus of the elements is to distinguish certain personality traits in people. A common trend is that most serpent zodiac signs are relatively fair in appearance. They are wise thinkers and use knowledge readily. They also show signs of being very creative and have a sensual nature. They are also graceful and often can be very prudent.
With all the good qualities the Chinese Zodiac snake also has its character flaws. People are often classified with being rather distant, lacking in communication skills, and can be very dominating. They may also show signs of being very doubtful and lacking trust in other individuals. They can have moments of vanity and be cold towards people sometimes. Plotting and scheming seems to be something common among them as they take advantage of the situation readily if conditions prove favorable for them.
NOTE: The Chinese Zodiac Astrology is the most well known of all Chinese Astrology system. In its most basic form, it simply takes the year of birth of a person and classify them into one of 12 animals namely the Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig. A person's traints and luck is 'read' based on the amimal sign. At a more advanced level the month, day and year of birth is also considered.
