I am curious! What are the main characteristics of the year of the snake?

@Carmen - Good question. I don't usually pay too much attention to those sorts of things. I just found this blurb online:

THE WATER SNAKE 1953 AND 2013:

Water Snakes are influential and insightful. They manage others well and tend to be good for organizations to utilize as staff. They are quite motivated and intellectual, very determined and resolute about success. They will have what they desire, despite the conclusion or outcome they generate because it is worth it to them to not only be recognized for their efforts, but to be rewarded as well. They are affectionate with their families and friends but do not show this side of their personality to colleagues or business partners.
