The Fire Snake personality
A Fire Snake is sharp, self-possessed, and unusually driven by inner heat.
Among Snake years, the Fire Snake stands out for intensity, speed, and visible force of will. Snake is already a sign linked with strategy, privacy, and strong instincts. When Fire is added, especially yin Fire, the refined flame of Ding, it makes this Snake more expressive, more urgent, and harder to ignore than Metal, Water, Wood, or Earth Snakes.
