Let us go through the story behind the zodiac sign of the “Snake”.

According to legend, the Jade Emperor, the ruler of heaven, decided to create a zodiac system to represent the twelve animals that came to his palace for a race.
The first twelve animals to arrive would each be assigned a year in the lunar calendar, and the order in which they arrived would determine their ranking.
The snake, known for its cunning and stealth, was one of the animals that participated in the race.
However, it was not among the first to arrive at the palace. Instead, it had hitched a ride on the horse’s hoof and emerged just before the horse crossed the finish line.
The snake’s trickery allowed it to claim the sixth position in the zodiac.
The Year of the Snake is a symbol of cunning, intelligence, and personal growth in Chinese culture, and it continues to hold great significance in the Chinese lunar calendar.
