The Snake is part of what will be a complete series of the 12 Animal signs of the Chinese Zodiac. NOTE: this artwork was updated August 11, 2009 after some minor edits. Those born in the Year of the Snake are said to be rather philosophical, critical thinkers with discerning taste and great personal confidence. They also have a strong sense of honor and organization. If you were born in 2001, 1989, 1977, 1965, 1953, 1941, or 1929 you are probably a Snake, but double-check the exact dates if your birthday is in mid-January to mid-February because the Lunar New Year is on a different date each year.
