It's a new lunar year, and a new zodiac animal - the Snake! The Chinese zodiac is based on a twelve-year cycle - each one represented by an animal. 2013 is the year of the Snake. In Chinese myth, snakes were often seen as deities in disguise. Snakes are cared for by the priests and are often seen around the Buddhist temples as deities of protection. In Chinese culture, the snake is associated with the bravery of men and beauty of women. The snake is also a symbol of wealth and money.
