Ever meet someone so magnetic, you found yourself saying yes to their every request and demand? Chances are, this person was a Snake. Irresistible and charming, few can resist this persuasive sign. Parents of a Snake child will quickly find themselves wrapped around their little one’s finger.

Snakes are sensual creatures who love beauty and dress in unique, unforgettable styles, like Sarah Jessica Parker. They can have exquisite taste, and want the best of everything from an early age. Before understanding the value of a dollar, your little Snake might demand the most expensive toys, gifts, and activities available. For example, say your Snake is an aspiring ballerina. It’s not enough to get this kid a dollar store tutu and Payless slippers. They want the full Capezio outfit, a Swarovski-encrusted tiara and lessons with the best company in the region, even if you have to schlep them for hours to get there.

These charismatic kids can sell anything. Whether peddling Girl Scout cookies, hawking M&Ms for the team fundraiser or simply selling themselves at an audition, this sign will set a new record. That’s because Snakes understand people, and can spot a winning (or losing) idea instantly. The charismatic kids will thrive on student council, the debate team, even as school yearbook editors (they know all the gossip).

Everything Snakes do is driven by intuition, and their instincts are razor sharp.Psychic dreams, deja vus and spot-on hunches are common for the tuned-in Snake. This kid just KNOWS things, so don’t dismiss their intuitive flashes, even if they sound preposterous. Trying to keep a secret? Don’t go near this sign. As with Snakes Barbara Walters and Oprah Winfrey, being around them makes you want to spill your innermost thoughts and secrets. In their families, Snakes are often the ones who know everything about everyone.

Snakes aren’t necessarily malicious. However, they CAN be venomous if you threaten or cross them. At best, however, they are masters of transformation and reinvention, shedding one “skin” to reveal yet another new persona. Generous as they come, Snakes happily share their abundant power with those who respect it.
