SERPENT Serpent Lunar Calendar:
Serpent in Rat year 2008: Prepare for hectic activity, which could overwhelm Serpent with responsibilities. If Serpent remains calm and centered and addresses each problem as it arises, progress can be attained, especially in business. It is best to be frugal and not spend or loan money money at this time. Luck returns in Ox year 2009. Serpent Personality: The Chinese Serpent goddess Nu Kua formed the first people from yellow clay from the banks of the Yellow River. This creation myth is one of many Taoist tales starring magical, mysterious Serpent. The Serpent is associated with goddesses and heroines who assist women in childbirth and bless children with remarkable talents. Serpent heroines charmed and helped scholars learn the Confucian classics. Asian cultures respect Serpent and honor her feminine yin energy, unlike the West, which associates Serpent with cold-blooded evils. A Chinese classic tale tells of a one-thousand-year-old serpent who practiced magic and transformed herself a beautiful woman. Through her charms, she married a scholar, and her life was happy and content. But a Taoist monk pursued her because he knew that she was not human. The monk was an expert at capturing shape-shifting animals who falsely assumed human forms. Wise Serpent outwitted him many times before he finally exposed her dual lives. The year of the Serpent is a time of introspection, planning, and seeking answers. People will ponder and think before they act. Good taste and elegance will prevail in fashion, theater, film, and all the arts. Serpent wisdom influences contributions in the sciences through new technological inventions and discoveries. But this is not an auspicious year for gambling, investing, or taking any financial risks because the calamities of the previous Dragon year can continue into Serpent year. Expect political extremes, scandals, and the exposing of secrets. Learn more!
