The Snake:

Those led by a snake are acutely aware of the pluses and minuses of these distinctive creatures. Without arms or legs, snakes approach life in a unique way and are forced to improvise. Familiar and comfortable with the earth's energy, they seem to have a sixth-sense when it comes to reading people's intentions, approaching danger, and even the weather. Certainly snakes can be misunderstood - but those who follow them have learned that aggression is overrated when getting what you want. Snake people are charmers and very connected to all things spiritual. There's a reason that the snake is featured on the Caduceus - (The universal symbol for medicine, healing and guidance.) (Rare)
