The Four Chinese Signs 1989-1992

http://www.holymtn.com/astrology/ The Snake – 6th Feb 1989 – 26th Jan 1990 Among the animal zodiac, Snake individuals are the most humanitarian. To the Chinese, Snakes represent justice and equality. These are the givers in life, prepared to sacrifice their own dreams, ambitions and desires for the sake of others, particularly for those they love. Fiercely loyal to those they love, Snakes are ever ready to jump to the defense of any member of their family or friends who is being attacked by either word or deed. They have a penchant for championing the underdog. Born with an innate sense of decency and a need for equilibrium in a chaotic world, Snakes strongly denounce injustice and wrongdoing, generously giving useful and effective advice to those around them. Their warmth, empathy and genuine interest in others win them many close friendships. Snakes inspire confidence in others, and the confidence is justified. They will always do their utmost for others, and their dedication can go to the point of sacrifice. Snake people deserve to be held in the highest esteem. The Snake makes a faithful, honest and courageous friend, and has a deep sense of justice. These people tend to be both magnanimous and prosperous, yet they can also be dogged, guarded, and defensive. Because they genuinely feel they know best, they can sometimes appear bossy. They accomplish goals quickly, their successes the result of hard work and intelligence. But the Snake never really relaxes. Despite appearing calm and at rest, his heart and mind are always jumping. The Snake is an introvert who rarely shows his feelings; when he does it's only because he thinks it is absolutely necessary. He's stubborn in the extreme and knows what he wants. Frequently cynical, he is feared for his sharp tongue and his acid and disagreeable remarks. He gives the impression of looking systematically for faults in everything he touches. This is because he is the world's biggest pessimist and expects nothing out of life. He prefers to live an impeccable life, a life filled with principles and dignity, always willing to be a crusader for a noble ideology. With their forthright honesty and true moral integrity they soon become pillars of society, respected for their views and trusted by all who come to know them. Because they have the knack of gaining backing from important people, their careers are often brilliant. In general, they are better followers than leaders and perform outstandingly in team situations. The Snake makes a good soldier. He possesses excellent instincts and is willing to work hard to achieve success. Responsible and reliable, he inspires confidence in others by being trustworthy and keeping secrets when necessary. Snakes find it difficult to adapt to change, though, perhaps because they have a reputation for being innately pessimistic and expect the worst to happen. They have a tendency to become wistful and nostalgic about the past. Of all the animals in the Chinese Zodiac, Snakes are the least materialistic for they are unselfish individuals who care more about people than they do about money or success. It doesn't worry them to be without the material comforts. Even if they are in the money, their tastes are simple enough. But if by any chance they should suddenly and urgently need money, nobody is better equipped than them to get it! The loyal Snake makes a splendid captain of industry, an active trade union leader, a priest, or an educator. but whatever his career, it will have in him a spokesman whose ideas will be profound and often original. Nations would do well to follow such champions, for under no other sign do we find united in the same person such uprightness, rectitude and passion for work allied to so little personal ambition. The three phases of the life of the Snake are all marred by uncertainty: anxious childhood, difficult youth, middleage defeatist before the work is to be done, and an old-age full of regrets for not having done enough. It is said that a Snake born in daytime will be calmer and less anxious than one born during the night. It is at night that the Snake's job is to guard the house -- and thus he will be eternally on the lookout, always on the alert, barking all the time to scare away intruders and finding no time to rest. For people born at night under this sign, it's a Snake's life! The Loving Snake Though Snakes have a reputation for not easily entrusting their affections, when they do, those friendships are for life. Romantically, Snakes gives the impression of being cold fish but this appearance is misleading; it's just that they're anxious and doubt their own feelings as they do those of others. In fact, personal relationships for the Snake are the most essential and important components of his life; money, power, success -- all the elements that might motivate members of other signs -- simply don't mean a thing to Snakes without first having a loving partner by their side and a stable family and home life. Some born under this influence may encounter difficulties in finding a lifelong mate primarily because of the importance they attach to their relationships, but also because of anxiety related to mistrust of people they don't know. In love, the most salient characteristic of Snakes is their loyalty. The Snake is usually selective in the beginning stage of dating. Once these people have pledged their allegiance or sworn their marriage vows, they will stick to their partners through thick and thin. One born in the year of the Snake tends to marry early. The Snake can be happy with the Horse who will let him get on with his causes in exchange for a little independence. With the Tiger, life becomes a battle -- the two of them against the rest of the world. United, they will adventure together in the name of truth and justice. The Snake can find happiness with the good-hearted Boar. But it is with the placid and serene Rabbit that the Snake has the biggest chance of finding peace and quiet if he wants it. The Snake also likes the Rooster, but he is in frequent conflict with the Dragon, who is too proud to accept the Snake's caustic comments and critical approach. As for the Ram, the Snake has no time for her whims, selfishness, or superficiality and they have little in common. November is the month of the Snake. The time of the Snake is from 7:00 p.m. to 8:59 p.m.; their direction of orientation is west-northwest.
