The Year of the Snake

Today is the first day of the Chinese Year of the Snake.

At the end of the last Year of the Snake, my son was born. I was born early in the Year of the Goat and my daughter was born during the Year of the Rooster. So what would that all mean?

So the kids, according to the second trine conquer life through endurance, application, and slow accumulation of energy:

They are geniuses in the art of meticulous planning.(My kids?!?)  They are hardworking, discreet, modest, industrious, charitable, loyal, punctual, philosophical, patient, and good-hearted individuals with high moral standards. They are also natural leaders, and are better natured.

According the forth trine I strive for the aesthetic, beauty, and a more philosophical, and intellectual approach in life:

They are artistic, refined, intuitive, intelligent and well-mannered. These souls love the preliminaries in love, and are fine artists in their lovemaking.  They have been bestowed with calmer natures and are compassionately aware, yet detached and resigned to their condition. They seek beauty and a sensitive love. They are caring, unique, self-sacrificing, obliging, sensible, creative, empathetic, tactful, and prudent. They can also be naive, pedantic, insecure, cunning, indecisive, and pessimistic.


Not sure I am buying it, but you can look up yours on Wikipedia too. Good for a laugh, at least.
