缘分How the Snake and the Rooster get along

The Snake and the Rooster belong to the same trine, the four-year-apart family of the Metal element. Trine signs are steady, careful and determined; they plan, build and keep their promises. They understand each other's goals without long explanations, which is why tradition counts trine partners among each sign's best matches.

The Snake brings insight and composure and needs trust and privacy. The Rooster brings precision and honesty and needs appreciation and order.

爱情Love and marriage

In love they share values and direction, which gives the relationship a solid base. Snakes love deeply but carefully. They take time to trust, then commit with intensity and loyalty, and they appreciate a partner with depth, discretion and good taste.
