Snake carries the meanings of

malevolence, cattiness, mystery, as
well as acumen and divination. In
most cases, this animal is
considered evil and the elongated
legless body always scares people.
However, in ancient Chinese
traditions, the snake once presented
a venerated image and it is one of
the earliest totems of Chinese
nations. Chinese mother goddess
Nüwa who said to have created
humanity has the body of a snake
and the head of a human. The
Chinese dragon also has a snake
body. Today, in some places in
China, people still believe that a
snake found in their courtyard can
bring good luck.

People born in the Year of the Snake

are considered rational, calm,
thoughtful, and loyal to the loved
ones.

Health & Fitness Advice

Generally speaking, the health of the

Snakes is greatly influenced by the
heredity, and thus their health is decided
by their parents’ health. However, they
can build a strong body through regular
exercises. Another point should be
noted is that most of the Snakes are
typical picky eaters. They only eat what
they want and refuse some healthy
food. What’s more, they love unhealthy
fast food and snacks, which along with
the long time picky eating behaviors
may cause a lack of nutrition and bring
some digesting diseases like gastritis.

The Snakes should be more careful

about their diets and if they have any
difficulty in that, consult doctors as soon
as possible. Also, take exercise
regularly and learn to release from the
heavy work.

Snake's Fortune in 2024

It’s possible for the employees to make

some progress in career, under the
premise they get along well with
colleagues and don’t offend any;
otherwise, they may lead themselves
into some troubles. Their wealth luck is
not at a high level; so do not waste
money on unnecessary articles and
dream of being rich through investment
or other ways; instead, make a plan to
make both ends meet. For the married,
the close distance with other opposite
sexes may make their lover sand and
cause misunderstandings. As for the
singles, they should sharpen their eyes
to find their true love. To maintain
health, especially the young and the old,
they should cultivate healthy living
habits.

Career: It can be a lucky year for

those employees, when they would
complete work tasks better than
expected; But they should be kind
to workmates and don’t offend any.
The businessmen may get into
troubles because of braking laws
or regulations.
Wealth: This year, they should not
spend money without a plan, so as
to avoid the possible financial
crisis. Merchants should focus
more on their current business,
rather than spending energy in
other investment, as they would
not gain much from it.
Relationships: The singles should
keep clear-minded and single-
minded when being surrounded by
several opposite sexes and then
they may tell which one is their
soulmate. Others should be loyal to
their lover and stay away from
outside temptations.
Education: In 2024, they are
advised to spend more time
reading, and learning some skills to
acquire new knowledge efficiently.
Also, communicate frequently with
classmates and teachers, then it’s
possible for them to achieve good
results.
Health: The little kids and those
aged may catch some illnesses
this year, and they should be more
carefully taken care. Be very
careful when driving a car.
