Ancient Chinese wisdom says a Snake in the house is a good omen because it means your family will not starve. This could be taken metaphorically to mean that a Snake could never have a problem with her family starving because she is such a great mediator, making her good at business. Or it could mean that a Snake would be willing to sacrifice her possessions, something the Snake has a lot of, in order to pay for her family’s food. Any way it is interpreted is representative of the Snake’s character and is a measure of the value she puts on his material wealth. The Snake is keen and cunning, quite intelligent and wise. |
