THE SNAKE IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PLANET VENUS AND ITS ORIGIN WU-XING ELEMENT IS FIRE. OF THE FOUR TRINES, THE SNAKE IS IN THE TRINE WITH THE ROOSTER AND THE OX. THE SNAKE IS OFTEN REFERRED TO AS 'THE LITTLE DRAGON'. THE SIGN OF TWIN SNAKES TWISTING AROUND A DAGGER IS THE CADUCEUS, AND IS REFERRED TO AS THE SIGN OF A MEDICAL PRACTICE OR PRACTITIONER.  
  
TO BE BORN IN THIS YEAR IS TO BE INTELLIGENT YET UNSCRUPULOUS.  
  
YET THE SNAKE IS OFTEN MISUNDERSTOOD, OFTEN PROTRAYED AS CONNIVING OR MISCHEVOUS. IN CHRISTIAN MYTHOLOGY, SATAN APPEARED IN THE FORM OF A SNAKE IN ORDER TO TRICK EVE INTO EATING THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT, AND CONVINCING ADAM INTO PARTAKING. IN OTHER MYTHOS, THE SNAKE IS SEEN AS PIVOTAL IN WORLD CREATION, OR IS SEEN AS A CYCLE UNENDING, WITH LIFE DEPENDING ON LIFE -- AS SUCH IS THE TALE OF OUROBOROS, THE SERPENT WHO IS SEEN CONSUMING ITS OWN TAIL.  
  
THERE IS MORE TO THE MYTHOS OF THE SNAKE, BUT IT IS TOO MUCH FOR ONE NOTE!
