💞 Love, work and money
Love
In love, the Snake is thought of as mysterious and deep. It keeps its distance at first and watches for a long time, but once it decides, it takes the relationship more seriously than anyone. It tends to hide jealousy rather than show it, so put any anxiety into words. Tradition places the Snake in a samhap trio with the Rooster and Ox and a yukhap pair with the Monkey.
Work and study
At work, analysis and focus are counted as strengths. Fields that require digging deep, such as research, strategy, law and finance, are good places for the Snake to show its skill. It truly needs time to concentrate alone, so blocking out uninterrupted time on the calendar leads to better results.
Money habits
The Snake is believed to be cautious with money as well. Set aside a quiet moment once a week to review your spending, and your sense for spotting leaks will grow even sharper.
Something to try
