2013: Year of the Black Water Snake

Oh well, now that I've learned that 2013 is the Year of the Water Snake, I did some research about it - wishing I could find things that are worth-knowing about myself and my luck for the coming year.

I'm an Earth Snake, by the way. Born in 1989, Gemini and beautiful. (with emphasis on the last word haha)

These are the things I've learned:

From http://www.usbridalguide.com/special/chinesehoroscopes/Snake.htm

THE EARTH SNAKE 1929 AND 1989 - Earth Snakes are the most relaxed of the breeds. They lead calm lives and offer a down-to-earth appeal to any conversation or outing. This may make them seem more friendly, as you may not feel the need to wonder what he’s got up his sleeve. They may also shun the need to lash out or take risks, but it isn't from paranoia. They figure their good sense and work ethic will pay off and bring them much fortune and material satisfaction.

HEALTH - Snakes become easily stressed and have to avoid hectic schedules or noisy atmospheres. They do not get a rush from adrenaline, instead, a headache. They need calm and quiet to thrive and succeed. A Snake must have sleep and relaxation to live a long, healthy life.

THE SNAKE ON VACATION - Snakes love to vacation. They get a great deal of pleasure out of just being lazy. And they love luxurious things, often spending their money on material desires they probably don’t need. When a Snake goes on vacation, he really goes on vacation. Fancy restaurants, expensive health clubs and spas, anything in which they can fully indulge themselves. Their getaways must be fully equipped to pamper their every want, or the Snake will become stressed.

GEMINI SNAKE - These Snakes can talk their way out of anything, so a confrontation with them is a lost cause. They are well-educated and a bit amenable, making them quite intriguing.

So what's gonna happen to me this coming 2013?

The Snake In Love 

Whether single or partnered, the advice for you is the same: open up! No, it may not be easy, but you're always willing to do what it takes to make money, aren't you? You're willing to take risks because you know the reward is there. Somehow this business savvy you're so well known for doesn't translate for you into your personal life. High risk brings high reward, so try and let your guard down.

The Chinese 2013 horoscope for Snake also shows us that you need to work on being less sneaky. You're quite the suspicious one, and so you use this as an excuse to snoop through belongings or manipulate your partner into telling you something they don't want to tell you. This is not going to get the desired response. Your partner may be tricked into sharing something, but it won't be what you want to hear.

The Snake at Work  The Chinese 2013 horoscope for Snake shows us that if you want to be successful in your career this 2013 year of the black Snake, then you must be willing to use your tenacious nature to your advantage. You are quite willing to put yourself out there and take a chance with work, which is a great thing, but this year will bring new struggles.  There may come a point when your job becomes overwhelming and you consider simply giving up. Don't do it. Remember that you've gotten through a lot in your life and you will get through this, too. What may initially seem to be a long-term problem can actually be overcome much faster than you may think it will. Just put your head down, work through it, and come out the other end.  Your Chinese 2013 horoscope shows us that this 2013 year of Snake is a year for you to open up on a personal level, and that advice can be used for your professional life as well. This doesn't mean you have to tell your boss all your personal business, but it does mean that you should avoid the role of 'strong and silent' at work. Those who know you know that you can be quite warm. Let that personality shine through at work and you won't regret it.

Chiron, the wounded healer is also active this 2013 year. Previously wounded parts of your personality will rise up for recognition and healing. Stuffing painful feelings away when they are occurring is a helpful technique in a moment of crises, but leaving it stuffed will cause it to fester. This 2013 year of Snake Gemini will have many opportunities to release and resolve important issues. When you find yourself in fear, or embarrassed, or shy and withdrawn- it's likely that something form the past is being triggered. Remember, it's never what is actually going on in the moment that's causing the upset. This moment now is perfectly fine. In fact, it's a gift, and some say that is why we call it the "present". Use this time to allow your feeling to be as they are. Don't run from them anymore- simply be with your feelings, witnessing, breathing. That is all that is required to move through and beyond. Gemini 2013 horoscope holds promise of deep cleansing transformation- Ride the waves bravely into your new world

I may not believe everything I've found out, but definitely it was fun reading stuff that I'm not actually aware of. But one thing's certain about this coming year... I'm gonna own it!

Long live Snake people. :)
