Snake (蛇 – Shé)
Snakes are mysterious, wise, and deeply intuitive. They possess a keen intellect and an ability to see beyond the surface, making them excellent strategists and thinkers. Their calm and composed nature allows them to handle challenges with precision, often finding solutions that others overlook.

While Snakes are known for their wisdom, they can also be secretive and reserved, preferring to keep their thoughts to themselves. They are highly analytical and excel in fields that require deep research, philosophy, or artistic expression. Their ability to perceive hidden truths makes them excellent judges of character.

Each Chinese Zodiac sign has a fixed traditional element, but the Five Elements cycle every 60 years, meaning your birth year determines an additional elemental influence. This second element—Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, or Water—shapes personality traits, fortune, and destiny, adding unique characteristics to each individual within the same Zodiac sign. Understanding both elements offers a deeper insight into one’s astrological profile.
