What it means

You are perceptive, you read people well and you hold on tight to what matters to you.

The classic text is harsh: it speaks of a self-focused streak, poor attention to others' work and a talent for cunning. Read it as sharp wits that can be used well or badly. The serpent's grip can protect or choke.

The name means the embrace. Its symbol is a coiled snake, and its gods are the serpent spirits, which stand for deep insight, hidden knowledge and a tight hold.

Use your insight to help, and you become someone people truly rely on.
