Dew that disappears in the presence of the afternoon sun. It is not enduring, making it prone to indecisiveness, fickleness and difficulty in making decisions.

The Snake is the only reptile in the 12 zodiac signs.  It is cold-blooded and depends on the sun to warm it up. It crawls on its belly and it depends on stealth and surprise to catch its food. It may lie and hide for weeks at a time before it has its next meal. It does not waste its energy, it waits patiently for opportunities, it depends on its strong senses to survive.  It does not have the stamina for prolonged action but when it strikes, it is fast.
