Relatively, this is a pretty bad year for the Snake. With some unlucky stars in the way, this is a year of gossip and destructiveness. However, this is also a year of initial obstacles, encountering challenges and difficulties, which are subsequently overcome. Especially in the beginning of the year, the Snake needs to be meticulous and should not be greedy or impulsive, or else fall prey to false people and ideas, leading to serious mistakes. If mistakes are made in the beginning of the year, even if opportunities arise in the middle of the year, not much could be done. Partly, this is because in the beginning, much resources-time, money and effort had been used and by the time a real opportunity comes, those resources have been exhausted. Therefore, especially in the beginning, be very careful not to make mistakes.
Part of the problem this year is that the Snake tends to be subjective and overly confident in his/her own judgment and instincts, not paying enough attention to solid reasoning. The Snake also does not like listening to other's advice this year. To decrease the chance of failure, the Snake needs to pay more attention to other's sound advice, ask more, learn more, be humble and sincere, work harder, and not be afraid to take the short end of the stick, then the Snake may be able to be noticed by his/her superiors and earn the help of others; this can help with the anticipated obstacles in the beginning of the year. The Snake needs to improved networking this year, as well as being patient and avoiding impulsiveness. Be more patient, tolerant and control your temper better. Be flexible and be able to balance your relationship with people in that one should not be too close or too distant from your colleagues. This will help avoid mixing personal relationships with work, as well as gossip, which can lead to negative effects on career and reputation.
Career and work for the Snake is unpredictable this year, with many obstacles especially in the first half of the year, so the Snake has to be prepared. The business owner Snake, in the first half of the year when time is not ripe, do not prematurely invest or expand the business. The Snake who is employed should not be impulsive and change jobs in the first half of the year as each subsequent job may be worse than the former, which will also lead to loss of confidence. On the other hand, if the Snake can be patient, not be impulsive, plan carefully, work hard, and do your homework in the first half of the year by upgrading your skills, by mid-year, there may be good opportunities and people who can help. After the Autumn, with good preparation, improved skills and performance, there may be opportunities for promotion, raise, or even starting up a business. Retail, distribution, acting, arts, jewelry, marketing, and design may have breakthroughs by mid year and may be even be where an employee can become a boss. Those who work in government, armed forces, utilities, insurance, banking, and realty will have a lot of gossip, so the Snake should keep opinions to him/herself and be more humble or else risk losing money, career and reputation. However, if interpersonal relationships are handled well, after mid-year, there is opportunity to break through this and earn reputation and money.
Financial luck is actually not bad this year, but the problem is that money comes and goes with a lot of unforeseen expenses. Additionally, if bad gossip is attracted, there is risk of big losses in money. Therefore, when money comes, the Snake needs to be prepared and to set aside money. Avoid investing, buying/selling, lending money, or being a guarantor, or else not only may money be lost, but also friendships can be soured. It may appear that in the beginning of the year, there may be luck for investing, but take caution as this is false, risking loss of money and reputation. Avoid being entangled with gangs and illegal activities as risk of legal problems and imprisonment is high.
There are many relationship opportunities for the Snake this year. The single Snake who travel abroad can keep an eye out for a potential partner. Regardless of being single or married, the Snake should avoid two-timing or else end up with no one. Extramarital affairs will lead to a lot of problems, loss of family, even legal problems or physical injury. The single, female Snakes should avoid giving the wrong impression of having romantic feelings for a co-worker in the work place, as this will cause difficulties in career, work, and reputation.
In terms of health, the Snake needs to be careful of injuries to the back, joint, and head and neck, as well as gastrointestinal illnesses. Other than being careful of what is ingested, if the Snake does feel unwell, seeing a doctor should not be avoided, or else health may continue to decline. The male Snake needs to be cautious of liver diseases and sexually transmitted illnesses. The female Snake should be cautious of over stress, gynecological problems, and excessive dieting.
