The meaning
What the Snake card means
The Snake is complication: the winding road, the detour, the problem that cannot be solved in a straight line. In older readings it is a rival woman or deceit; read more widely, it is desire, cleverness and the need for diplomacy. Schools disagree on how sinister it is — most read it as complex rather than evil.
Snake in work and money
Office politics, a roundabout process, a negotiation that needs tact. Cleverness helps more than force.
Snake as a person
An intelligent, attractive, strategic woman — or anyone who gets what they want indirectly.
Snake as advice
Take the long way round. Direct confrontation will not work here; patience and tact will.
Is the Snake a yes or no card?
No. Not in a straight line — the Snake says the path you hoped for is complicated, or someone is working against it.

The Snake in a Grand Tableau
House 7 is row 1, column 7 — an edge, so it touches 5 cards: Clouds, Coffin, Bear, Stars and Stork.
The house of the Snake brings detours, complications and rivals. A card here takes the long way round or attracts competition: the Heart in this house can point to a rival in love, the Ring to a contract with tricky terms, and the Ship to a journey that does not go to plan.
