Celtic Zodiac Sign: Snake Meaning in Celtic Astrology
February 18 – March 17

Personality Introduction for Your Snake Celtic Zodiac Sign: Greetings dear Snake! Your Celtic zodiac sign is one of deep understanding and mystical wisdom. Now, don’t freak out on me. I know the snake isn’t everybody’s favorite creature. It might not be what you want for an animal sign. But try to set aside mainstream misjudgments about the snake.

If snakes creep you out – bear with me, and give this marvelous animal sign a chance. And if you’re a little irked about having the snake as your Celtic zodiac sign – don’t be. It’s an honor to have this sign. Hey, I wasn’t thrilled to be a rat in the Chinese zodiac – but once I got to know the sign and how it applied to me – I was quite proud to be a rat! So stay calm, and read on, dear snake.

So what’s so great about being a snake? Plenty. I think one of the most magnificent qualities of your Celtic zodiac sign is healing. The snake has a long, symbolic history associated with curing the sick and healing the heart. By association, so do you. You are hard-wired to heal. In fact, many of your friends and family will say they feel better just being around you. That’s because you exude curative energy. You were also born with a tender heart, a sense of compassion. You are a natural care-giver. So set aside those awful ideas that snakes are cold, or cold-blooded. Well, physiologically they’re cold-blooded, but they represent the warmth of life. You and your sign hold a long heritage of standing for the elixir of vitality, health and wellness. Embrace this quality!

“At times you have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you will discover will be wonderful. What you will discover is yourself.”

~Alan Alda

Another superior aspect about your sign is the deftness in which you can change. Snakes shed their skin. Through this process they are renewed, transformed, even healed. You have the same ability. You are naturally resourceful and adaptable. You can seamlessly soothe into almost any situation, and find a way to make it work for you. A lot of this has to do with your charm, but most of it deals with your ability to be flexible. Do not, for one moment, bemoan your changeability. It’s one of your finest assets. That you can change your mind, your station, your beliefs proves that you are never limited.

Perhaps the greatest feather in your serpentine cap is your level of sensitivity. Snakes are symbolically revered for their mystical properties. You should be celebrated for the same. Your remarkable perception, intuition and sensitivity goes deep. Waaaay deep. You are a modern mystic. You know things that others do not. You see things in the ethereal that others can’t possibly access. This makes you privy to magic, wonder and tuned into the realm of the unknown. This is a powerful gift.

It’s interesting to note that many snake signs have the ability to communicate with non-physical. Countless cultures, including Celtic, viewed the snake as a mystical, magical creature. Snakes are often associated with the other side of life. Am I saying what you think I am? Yes. You have access to the realm beyond. You can pass through the veil. That means, if inclined, you can be a powerful medium. A medium is one who communicates with people who have passed on. I’m reluctant to call it ‘communicating with the dead’ because I’m not a believer of death. But, you get my point. You are so intuitive, and connected that you have access to realms far beyond this earthly one. That’s snake power. That’s your power. Whoa!

If you were born under the zodiac sign of snake (February 18 – March 17), you tend to be impressively imaginative. You love living in fantasy. Now, to many conventional minds this might be viewed as a bad thing. I say sod that. I think it’s a wonderful thing. You go where no other animal sign can go. Into a realm of dreams and imagination. That gift offers you incredible outlets of artistic expression. Many of you are extremely talented artists, poets, musicians, actors. Even if you think you’re not artistically inclined, I’m willing to bet you slip in a flair for style, wonder and drama in whatever you do. You don’t have to be on Broadway to be a thespian. You, dear snake, have a knack for whimsy. I’m willing to wager you express a dreamy style whether you’re working as an accountant or as a homemaker. You tend to be a romantic, and that kind of rich loveliness often sneaks into your everyday life.

Noteworthy Aspects for Your Celtic Zodiac Sign

Element: Water
Those of you born under the Celtic animal sign of the snake are ruled by the water element. What does that mean? It means you can be highly emotional, but you also easily detect the emotions of others. Many Celtic zodiac signs can’t go there.

They don’t want anything to do with emotion. Not you. You’re okay with feelings. That’s a rare attribute. You don’t mind wading through deep emotional waters. In fact, you are often a life-vest to others who are having problems trudging through their emotional waters. Water is also a spiritual element. Your faith may take high priority in your life. The status of your spiritual world tends to be incredibly important to you. Many of you know transformation means shedding the skin of man/world and living a spiritual life.

Planet: Neptune
Celtic zodiac sign of the snake is governed by the planet Neptune. The symbolic theme of Neptune deals with illusion, mystery and diving into the unknown. Being in touch with Neptune means you have easy access to psychic insight. Neptune has a tendency to churn up old issues and emotions. It does this by way of healing. In many ways, you are the catalyst for emotional mending. Often, you’re able to help others understand the dark unknowns they’re living in. Because you can be comfortable with many prickly situations, many people find safety in your presence. You are often a way-maker for catharsis, epiphany and insight. Neptune is commonly associated with the dark. Luckily, you aren’t afraid of the dark. In fact, you are the lighthouse by which others are able to see their way back to safety and comfort.

The Legend of Your Celtic Animal Sign

In Celtic myth and lore, the snake is big juju. So big, in fact, the serpent was often depicted with Cernunnos, the Celtic god of fertility, power and transformation. In the Celtic mind, snakes represented both male and female. This means the snake holds the secrets of both polarities of power… Male: Assertion and Strength. Female: Intuition and Fertility. The combining of these two aspects of power leads to a trifecta of greatness. Celts were crazy about trinities. The triad represents two parts combining to make a third party. In the snake’s case, male+female=new birth. I’m not talking about childbirth from biological conception. I’m talking about you, dear snake sign, combining all your seen and unseen assets to create a totally new design. The Celts held your snake sign as the vessel of full-on, power-packed potential. You hold the key of opposites. You have the intuition and intellect to bring these keys together and unlock amazing possibilities. Does that sound too woo-woo for you? I doubt it. Does it sound impossible? It shouldn’t. You have more power than you know, dear snake. All you need to do is believe. Believe in yourself and believe in your abilities.

It might be noteworthy, that the Celtic snake is actually the European viper – also known as the adder. It is the only snake (other than grass snakes) that is able to withstand the cold temps of Celtic territories. This is symbolic for you. It implies that even in the harshest conditions, you CAN survive. Not only that, you can thrive. The adder is also symbolic because it’s venomous. Why should that matter to you? Two reasons. 1) Venom was often used for healing in ancient cultures, including Celtic. This underscores your ability to heal yourself and others. 2) Venom is a form of protection. This implies that in any situation, you have the capability to protect yourself from harm. Learn more about the power of the snake from a Celtic perspective here: Symbolic Snake Meanings

Closing Thoughts on Your Celtic Zodiac Sign

So, how did I do in convincing you the snake is a worthy Celtic zodiac sign for you? I hope I did a good job, because the snake is a powerful sign. For those of you born February 18 – March 17, you are uniquely gifted with otherworldly perception and charm. The only thing stopping you from achieving spectacular greatness is yourself. Have no doubt, as a snake, you hold vast wisdom and potential. But like the snake, your power can be subtle. Often, this subtle expression is mistaken for meekness, or weakness. Don’t fall into that illusion. Own your potential. Own your power. Beneath your surface dwells magnificence. Tap into it.
