Chances are, this person was a Snake. Irresistible and charming, few can resist this persuasive sign. Snakes are sensual creatures who love beauty and dress in unique, unforgettable styles, like Sarah Jessica Parker (<em>Sex and the City<\/em>). Everything Snakes do is driven by intuition, and their business instincts are razor sharp. That\u2019s because Snakes understand people, and can spot a winning (or losing) idea instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Psychic dreams are common. Want to keep a secret? Don\u2019t go near this sign. As with Snakes like Oprah Winfrey, being around them makes you want to spill your innermost thoughts and secrets. Most Snakes aren\u2019t malicious, in spite of their animal association. They are masters of transformation and reinvention, shedding one &#8220;skin&#8221; to reveal yet another new persona. Generous as they come, Snakes happily share their abundant power with those who respect it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Snake is ruled by the planet Venus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Charmed, I\u2019m sure! Ruled by magnetic and amorous <a href=\"https:\/\/astrostyle.com\/astrology\/planets\/venus\/\">Venus<\/a>, the Snake is a captivating creature. The seductive Snake wraps us in an enchanting coil of attraction, and we willingly fall into their trance. Pain and pleasure mix into a heady cocktail of infatuation; we touch the divine as we edge into danger, unable to break the Snake\u2019s spell on us.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get swept up in the swivel of the Snake is astrology\u2019s most tender trap. (Has it happened to you too?) Venus is the goddess of love after all, and those who fall for Snakes crash hard. What\u2019s not to adore? Snakes bear generous gifts and speak in silver-tongued sentiments stippled with sincerity. In the bedroom, blessed by Venus, they have PhDs in pleasure. And they make such elegant social companions, we\u2019re certain their beauty will raise our own appeal. We know they have an agenda, but we don\u2019t care\u2014it feels too good to bask in Venus\u2019 garden of earthly delights.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even Snakes with a deadly strike move nimbly, powered by Venusian grace. Who would believe that this sinewy serpent could swallow you whole in its little jaws or squeeze the life out of you with a slow embrace?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Snake is one of Venus\u2019 two children, in both Eastern and Western astrology<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Chinese zodiac, Venus rules the Snake and the Dog; in the Western horoscope, <a href=\"https:\/\/astrostyle.com\/horoscopes\/daily\/taurus\/\">Taurus<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/astrostyle.com\/horoscopes\/daily\/libra\/\">Libra<\/a>. The Snake is paired with Taurus, who shares their love of material delights and comfort. Financial stability is the main motive of both Snake and Bull. They need to live \u201cthe good life,\u201d however that looks for them. In many astrological systems, Venus rules money. Snakes know how to attract it\u2026and sweet-talk it right out of your pocket. (Need a star salesperson? Hire a Snake!)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Wondering whether your Snake is a harmless creature or out to kill? The answer: It depends whether you threaten their security.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you alarm a Snake, their \u201creptilian brain\u201d that\u2019s driven by survival needs\u2014fight, flee, fornicate\u2014can cause the Snake to act on instinct. Bam! They\u2019ll neatly polish off their enemies, leaving no trace or survivors. And it will happen in the blink of an eye, leaving you wondering if you imagined the whole thing. (Venus blesses them with good manners\u2026)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But\u2026if you play nice inside of Venus\u2019 blissful bubble, epic fun is guaranteed. Your Snake will be a sexy and side-splitting sidekick, loyal as long as you maintain the pleasure-driven lifestyle to which they\u2019re accustomed. A fair tradeoff? Maybe not. But bewitched by the Snake, you won\u2019t care anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The \u201cAnimal Planets\u201d (Chinese astrology planetary rulers)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Rat: Jupiter<br>Ox: Saturn<br>Tiger: Uranus<br>Rabbit: Neptune<br>Dragon: Mars<br>Snake: Venus<br>Horse: Mercury<br>Sheep: Moon<br>Monkey: Sun<br>Rooster: Mercury<br>Dog: Venus<br>Pig: Pluto<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other traits of the Snake Chinese astrology sign<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Western Sign:<\/strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/astrostyle.com\/horoscopes\/daily\/taurus\/\">Taurus<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Who is the Snake<\/strong> <strong>compatible with?&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/astrostyle.com\/astrology\/chinese-horoscope\/ox\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ox<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/astrostyle.com\/astrology\/chinese-horoscope\/rooster\/\" data-type=\"as_learn_article\" data-id=\"2414\">Rooster<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Famous Snakes (these celebrities were born in a Year of the Snake):<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/astrostyle.com\/celebrities\/taylor-swift-birth-chart\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Taylor Swift<\/a>, Robert Downey Jr., Viola Davis, Sarah Jessica Parker, Martha Stewart, Oprah Winfrey, Chaka Khan, Liv Tyler, Lily Collins, Brooke Shields, Maddox Jolie-Pitt, John Malkovich, Charlie Sheen, John Mayer, <a href=\"https:\/\/astrostyle.com\/celebrities\/ye-kanye-west-birth-chart\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kanye West<\/a>, Psy, Tom Brady, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Barbara Walters, Kim Basinger, Chris Brown, Tyler Oakley, Nina Dobrev, Dr. Dre, Daniel Radcliffe, Joe Jonas, Bebe Rexha, J.K.
