Powerpoint by Mrs. van den Akker

Year of the Snake • The Snake (蛇) is one of the 12-year cycle of animals

which appear in the Chinese zodiac and is related to the Chinese calendar, as well as in related East Asian zodiacal or calendrical systems. The Year of the Snake is associated with the earthly branch symbol巳.

• One's personality is said to be influenced by the animal sign(s) ruling the time of birth. Similarly, the year governed by a particular animal sign is supposed to be characterized by it, with the effects particularly strong for people who were born in a year governed by the same animal sign.

• In Chinese symbology, snakes are regarded as intelligent.
