Chinese astrology? Oh, Brody?

Fire Snake, eh?

***
Those of you born under the influence of the Chinese Element Fire burn through life with your fierce charm, your impulsive enthusiasm and your restless emotions. A natural leader, you inspire with your decisive action and dramatic expression; people can't help but be magnetically drawn to you. Where will you lead your followers? Likely into an exciting adventure of some sort. You're instinctual, but your mind sparks with new ideas and clever solutions.

In love, you're highly-charged -- even combustible at times! Hot tamales to the core, these dynamic individuals can see straight to the heart of an issue and make it work for them. You may seem single-minded, but you just refuse to be swayed from a cause they believe to be important.

Diplomatic and popular, the Snake has the sensual art of seduction down. This Sign is an interesting mix of gregariousness paired with introversion, intuitive reasoning paired with savvy business skills. Snakes are considered to be lucky with money and will generally have more than enough to live life to the fullest, regardless of how important it considers money to be; this may be due to the fact that Snakes tend to be rather tight with cash. They're not stingy, they're simply more mentally than physically active. Snakes tend to hang back a bit in order to analyze a situation before jumping into it. Their charming, seductive quality actually belies a rather retiring nature; this Sign is perfectly happy to spend the whole day curled up with a good book and, thus, can be mislabeled as being lazy.

The Snake is somewhat insecure deep down and tend to be a rather jealous, possessive lover, behavior that can end up alienating loved ones. Despite these less-than-stellar tendencies, however, the Snake often proves irresistible and is a generous, loving partner. Slightly dangerous and disarmingly smart, the Snake's philosophical and intuitive mind generally supersedes logic in favor of feelings and instinct. Snakes will rely on their own gut reactions and intuitions before turning to others for suggestions. This makes this Sign a great hand in any business venture, possessing the caution and smarts needed to get ahead.

Snakes are hard workers (when they see good reason to be!) and are possessed of a keen intelligence. Snakes have incredible follow-through, once they get going, and they expect the same from others. Thus, their coworkers and employees had best stay on their toes, lest they anger the Snake and suffer its poisonous bite!

In general, of course, Snakes are generous and genteel, charming and appealing. Snakes must try to learn humility and to develop a stronger sense of self. Once Snakes realize that confidence comes from within, they will finally be comfortable in their own skin.

The most compatible match for a Snake is the Rooster or the Ox.

The Snake is the companion sign to the Dragon. (rawr!) Just as the Dragon is associated with gold and jade, the Snake is said to be the guardian of buried treasure, and thus, can be quite a hoarder. Feeling comfortable only when they have a large nest egg socked away somewhere.
The Snake is all about secrets and intrigue. As good information gatherers, they have a knack for Eavesdropping and espionage. They will find out the juiciest information and hold onto it until the more beneficial (to them) moment. Revealing it only when it will elicit alarming intensity.
By their careful manipulation of circumstances, Snake people can rise to high positions of power, not through any outward display of ambition or self-promotion, but by being in precisely the right place at a time when their unparalleled skills are most needed.
Snakes make excellent researchers. They have a strict sense or morality and ethics, though these ethics may not fall into the realm of what is accepted by the mainstream public. They are basically truthful, but if forced to revealing a confidence, they use their verbal dexterity to present facts with cosmetic adjustment. They also like to give the impression that they know far more about a subject than they can divulge, which is a useful trick utilized during negotiations.
The Snake is an astute money manager and will always be able to account for every last penny.
The Snake is essentially a private person, full of treasures that are not meant for general appreciation. Snakes are very sensuous, and will often indulge in luxuries which it considers t be of no concern to anyone else.
The Snake is very selective and it's partner has to offer something it is lacking in it's life. The Ox would provide stability and earthy robustness, but the Rooster or Dragon would provide the exotic dazzle of illicit, but glamorous, intrigue. But for true happiness, the Snake should find a Rabbit.
