Your’e looking good, just like a snake in the grass.  – Electric Light Orchestra, Don’t Bring Me Down

Focus:  Just for Fun (Macro)

Happy Chinese New Year!  2013 is the Year of the Black Snake.  Contrary to what you might think, the Chinese actually view a snake in the home as a good omen.  The 2013 Year of the Snake is meant for steady progress and attention to detail.  It is said that this year ‘focus and discipline will be necessary to achieve what you set out to create.’  That is certainly true for me in tackling a Project 365 this year!

Years of the Snake:  1905*1917*1929*1941*1953*1965*1977*1989*2001*2013

The Snake Sign:  The Snake is the most intuitive, introspective, refined and collected of the Animal Signs.  They are attractive people who take crisis with ease and do not become flustered easily.  They are graceful people, exciting and dark at the same time.  Contemplative and private, the Snake is not outwardly emotional.  He can appear cunning and reticent and works very modestly in the business environment.  The Snake will plot and scheme to make certain things turn out exactly as they want them to.  They are not great communicators and can become quite possessive when they set their minds on achieving the interest of a partner.
