Twelve years before her, another couple of mega-successful people were born in 1989: Daniel Radcliffe and Taylor Swift.

Radcliffe is best known for his role as Harry Potter, though has since branched out into more indie films. As it happens J.K. Rowling—the author of Potter—was also born in the Year of the Snake (1965). Is this why snakes feature so prominently in the series?

Meanwhile, Taylor Swift has possibly rewritten the economics of stadium shows, with her Eras Tour becoming the best-selling concert tour in history.

Turns Out, Snakes Are Cool?

People born in the Year of the Snake are said to have great wisdom, charm, and intuition. They’re also known to be mysterious, not allowing people to see their inner side.

The best jobs for Snakes are those that utilize their creativity and imagination.

While this isn’t exactly a science, some online sources say Snakes make the best pairs with Dragons and Roosters.

Perhaps the best thing to takeaway from all this however is that human beings are excellent at self-selection: the search for interpretations for that we hope to be true.
