Snake Sleeping in Winter

2001 is the year of the "Snake Sleeping in Winter". The image is one of a snake which builds up sufficient resources to last out the winter in comfort. On face value this may seem to imply that a successful year is ahead. This is not necessarily the case, but is dependent upon
sufficient work being done to ensure that success.

This is a year for preparation. In this particular snake year there is the association with deep winter, with potential hardship and difficulties to overcome. This is a year, therefore, in which your eyes should be fixed on your goals, but not so firmly fixed as to be blind to the short-term difficulties that lie in the path of your goals.

This is a year in which it is important be faithful to friends and family. Your network of support may be a significant asset in difficult times. Be prepared to be more than a fair weather friend and to walk the extra mile when someone is in need. That said, remember that there is a danger of excessive behaviour this year, so keep a balance, and just check to make sure you're not being taken for a ride.
