Meaning and Interpretation
Basic meaning
When you find a snake In nature, a person is likely to feel fear, as it is not immediately clear whether it is poisonous or not, how dangerous it might be, whether it will just crawl away or attack. These uncertainties generate, at the very least, unpleasant sensations and even fear, as well as confusion about what to do.
Likewise, when I saw the letter from Snake in a layout, you have to pay close attention, exercise caution and think about why it appears: where the danger might come from and, most importantly, from whom! Everyone knows that you have to be very careful with this card, avoid sudden movements and don't provoke it, as a bite can be fatal. On the cards, the Snake symbolizes the enemy, someone who requires the utmost vigilance. Wisdom and caution, both in business and in conversation, will help you avoid falling victim to intrigue and malice.
The letter from Snake in the layout is a clear warning and should lead you to reflect on the people around you. A letter is always associated with an evildoer, and it's important to identify who this person is and be wary of them. Be prepared to be disappointed by someone close to you, perhaps a friend or neighbor with whom you share moments of trust. A Snake symbolizes deceit and betrayal, so be cautious in both your actions and conversations, as what you trust can be twisted and used against you, often in the most unpleasant way.
To deal with the SnakeYou will need to adopt your own qualities: intelligence, calculation and calm. This is also the first card that points to possible magical influences.
The fortune teller's task is to provide the client with the most complete information about this card, in order to prevent or at least mitigate future problems. Unlike other cards, such as Coffin, Scythe or Cloudswhere problems can arise by chance, the Snake indicates problems directly related to a person's actions. It's a deliberate malicious intent aimed at harming the Consultant. In many cases, this enemy is in fact a woman: it could be the husband's mistress, a close friend with ulterior motives, an ex-wife or even a hostile mother-in-law. In other words, a rival, whether in love or in other aspects of daily life.
Negative meaning
All possible negativity and evil is intensified with the Snake. It symbolizes mistake, betrayal and a real "knife in the back". Someone close to you, or someone you have always helped, may be plotting to betray you for their own benefit. The card warns of malicious and underhanded intentions, especially on the part of someone you trust, which could make the betrayal even more painful.
In matters of personal relationships:
With regard to love relationships, the Snake points to sexual energy, which plays such a central role in the couple that everything seems to depend on it. Passion, lust and sex are not only the basis of the relationship, but also the motivation for action.
However, there can also be discord in the couple, caused by slander or gossip from other people. Someone may try to denigrate you or your partner, creating mistrust. There is a high risk of betrayal by a loved one, separation or even divorce, especially if the card is close to cards such as the Ring, Clouds or Rats.
If Snake is next to KnightThe relationship will be stormy, fast-paced and passionate, but probably short-lived - a typical romance that occurs during a business trip or vacation.
When the Snake appears with the Heartindicates a difficult relationship, where contradictory feelings are mixed: love, jealousy, passion, and the desire to possess the other person completely. With RatsThe card signals an extremely toxic relationship, where one of the partners is "devouring" the other emotionally. It can also suggest manipulation, dependence or even the influence of a love spell. The combination with Fox indicates clear manipulation - a relationship where one party is using the other for selfish interests, in a game of calculation and convenience.
If Snake appear in the counseling position in response to the question "How to improve the relationship with your partner?", the answer would be: show wisdom, patience and, of course, invest in sexual experiences that can rekindle the flame of passion in the couple.
A Snake in a relationship reading often suggests the presence of a third person (lover or rival). When addressing this issue with the Consultant, it is important to be careful. If the person is not ready to hear the truth, this information can have a strong emotional impact. It's advisable to start slowly, first identifying the main problem that the Consultant points out. Then you can introduce the idea that a female figure may be involved in the situation. Don't forget to check the cards that indicate the future, to see if there is a possibility of resolving the situation and neutralizing the rival.
In some cases, the rival may not be a mistress, but someone from the family, such as the partner's mother or sister, who actively interferes in the relationship and tries to influence decisions, possibly turning the partner against you.
In business and financial matters:
In the workplace, your achievements and successes can spark envy between colleagues or partners, which could lead them to act dishonestly towards you.

In the professional context Snake indicates that someone is taking advantage of you in a subtle way, planning to gain financial advantages or take over your position.
