There are twelve signs in the Chinese zodiac, and five elements: Metal, Earth, Fire, Water, and Wood.   Details about how each element influences the different zodiac signs will be on the Chinese zodiac pages I'm working on right now.   When I've got a beta page finished for the Snake, I'll put the link here so you can read more detailed information about Snakes and about how the different elements modify their personalities. Here's a basic Chinese-restaurant-place-mat type of description for Snakes: "Wise and intense with a tendency towards physical beauty. Vain and high tempered. Beautiful, romantic and with a sense of humor is the snake. You are intuitive and wise but tend to be a bit lazy at times. The Boar is your enemy. The Rooster or Ox are your best signs." 1997 is the Year of the Ox, here's how Snakes are expected to fare in 1997, according to Theodora Lau's book, The Handbook of Chinese Horoscopes: "A moderate year.   The Snake can expect people to challenge his decisions this year and some obstacles or financial miscalculations are bound to occur in spite of his inborn cautiousness and intuition.   A time to take things in stride and not complicate matters by being obstinate."
