The Snake’s sixth position in the Chinese Zodiac is tied to the legend of the Great Race. According to the myth, the Jade Emperor held a race to determine the order of the zodiac animals. The Snake, being clever but not particularly fast, hitched a ride on the Horse’s hoof. Just before crossing the finish line, it surprised the Horse by slithering ahead, thus securing the sixth position.
People born in a Wood Snake year are believed to be more idealistic, socially conscious, and adaptable compared to Snakes of other elements. They tend to have a strong sense of justice and a desire to improve the world around them.
