Year of the Snake |
![]() |
2001 is Hsin Szu Year known as "Snake Sleeping in the Winter" (24 January 2001 - 11 February 2002). This may seem that Snake has built up sufficient resources to last out the winter in comfort, but winter can be a time of bitterness and pain for the unprepared. You may need to rely on your support system during this time. In turn, you should be more than a fair-weather friend to others. Keep your focus on your goals and avoid excessive behavior.
Your personality conflicts with your circumstances during this Snake year; don't let your carefree nature take over. Loss will occur; be prepared and be diligent. There is the possibility of a family bereavement during the year. Cherish your loved ones always.
Your Ox nature and tenacity will help you make the best of your opportunities to turn this into a deeply rewarding year in which romance blossoms.
There are positive aspects to this Snake year, too, as you move away from the Dragon year and see conditions improve. Be determined and persevere and you will enjoy a certain degree of success. The Year of the Horse will be much more upbeat, so do not despair.
This is a year in which you must seek balance if you are to have satisfaction and success. Balance your professional life and family life, your public life and private life, and your immediate satisfaction and long-term goals.
It's important that you focus on the truly important values and not just immediate success. Give honor where it is due and be especially careful to show proper respect to the dead.
Temper your personality to maintain balance in your plans and actions to avoid potential problems. Seek the golden mean of social life and work, spending and saving, and ambition and compassion.
Always remain on guard during the Year of the Snake. Do not become involved in speculative financial projects - even those involving old friends.
Motivate yourself so that you can take advantage of the many opportunities that come your way this year.
Your Monkey nature does not include a lot of modesty and moderation, but those traits often make the difference in whether your peers resent you. Use more tact and less flamboyance. The Year of the Horse will be better for you.
Intimate partnerships especially prosper, but family relationships don't always run smoothly. You possess a generous nature and gladly help your friends when they are in trouble. Build on the positive aspects of opportunities, and you will find that they lead to future success.
You will find deepest contentment from spending time at home with your family and with your loved ones. The Year of the Snake will be a satisfying one for you. Use your natural energy and remember that you need to be balanced in what you do.
You must also focus on family mattters as scandal or loss may occur. Do not squander the respect and affections that others have for you.
