History
The snake, holding the 6th position in the Chinese zodiac, symbolizes traits such as cunning, intelligence, and determination. In 2013, it was the Year of the Water Snake, an event that occurs only once every 60 years. People born under this sign are said to be most compatible with those born in the Year of the Rooster, while least compatible with those born in the Year of the Pig.
