According to one legend, there is a reason for the order of the animals in the cycle. A race was held to cross a great river, and the order of the animals in the cycle was based upon their order in finishing the race. In this story, the snake compensated for not being the best swimmer by hitching a hidden ride on the Horse's hoof. When the horse was about to cross the finish line, the snake jumped out, scaring the horse, and thus edging it out for sixth place. People born within these date ranges can be said to have been born in the "Year of the Snake", while also bearing the following elemental sign: 10 February 1929 - 29 January 1930 = Earth Snake 27 January 1941 - 14 February 1942 = Metal Snake 14 February 1953 - 2 February 1954 = Water Snake 2 February 1965 - 20 January 1966 = Wood Snake 18 February 1977 - 6 February 1978 = Fire Snake 6 February 1989 - 26 January 1990 = Earth Snake 24 January 2001 - 11 February 2002 = Metal Snake 10 February 2013 - 30 January 2014 = Water Snake 29 January 2025 - 16 February 2026 = Wood Snake 15 February 2037 - 3 February 2038 = Fire Snake...
