One cell of 144
Pisces + Year of the Snake
Two calendars cross at your birth date. This is the cell where Pisces meets the Year of the Snake, and the animal that lives in it.
Answer first
What animal is a Pisces born in the Year of the Snake?
A Pisces born in the Year of the Snake is the Glass Frog. The month and day set the Pisces half, the birth year sets the Snake half, and the crossing points at one cell in a grid of 144. Read the Glass Frog for the full reading of that cell.
The two halves
What each calendar brings
The Pisces half
Pisces holds February 19 to March 20, mutable Water under Jupiter. You absorb what the room is feeling. The boundary between you and the water around you is thinner than most people's, and it is where your gift comes in. Read Pisces in the Western wing.
The Snake half
The Snake is the sixth branch and shares its trine with the Ox and the Rooster, the careful builders. You watch long before you move, and the move is exact. Recent Snake years are 2001, 2013 and 2025. Read the Year of the Snake.
The crossing
What Pisces and the Snake make together
Pisces brings a boundary thin enough to feel everything through. The Snake year brings the stillness that makes every move exact. The Glass Frog is what the two look like sharing one body.
You let people watch every visible reaction move through you, and you still keep the one true feeling completely out of sight until it is asked for properly.
The Snake runs in a trine with the Ox and the Rooster. Held to the same Pisces season, those years give the Narwhal and the Mandarin Dragonet, the two crossings whose engines run closest to yours.
The boundary
Born near the boundary?
The Chinese year does not turn on January 1. It turns at the lunar New Year, somewhere between late January and mid February, so a birthday in those weeks can belong to the animal before this one. The year finder checks the real date for any year you give it.
Common questions
Questions about this crossing
Is the Glass Frog the same as being a Pisces?
Pisces is half of it. The Glass Frog is the specific crossing of Pisces with the Year of the Snake, one cell out of 144. Two people can share a Sun sign and carry different animals, because the birth year changes the second half.
What if I was born in January or February of a Snake year?
The Chinese year turns at the lunar New Year, which lands between late January and mid February. A birthday in those weeks can belong to the previous animal, so the year finder checks the real boundary before the grid names your crossing.
Which crossings share the Glass Frog's trine?
The Snake runs with the Ox and the Rooster. Held to the same Pisces dates, those years give the Narwhal and the Mandarin Dragonet, the two animals whose instincts sit closest to the Glass Frog's.
