Toward noon, in the hour of Si, the snake lies coiled and still on a sun-warmed stone. People born in the Year of the Snake are composed and perceptive. They rarely take sides early, and when they speak, they get to the point. Quiet is your strength.

The animal changes at Start of Spring (around Feb 4). Many people use Chinese New Year instead, so if you were born in January or early February, check which year applies.
Your sign comes from your birthday and your animal from your year. A BaZi chart uses your year, month, day and hour together.
