Fig.8 The Snake Card in Relationships

The Snake card in relationships creates an atmosphere of alertness, hidden tension, and inner conflict. It is a complex, multilayered symbol where attraction and fear, desire and doubt, magnetism and danger are tightly intertwined. Such relationships are rarely straightforward – there is almost always a secret, a hidden motive, or something unspoken beneath the surface.

When the Snake appears between the Man and Woman cards, it points to a connection where feelings are intense but not entirely transparent. Beneath outward calm, there may be jealousy, manipulation, or a desire to control. These are relationships in which both partners instinctively sense each other’s power, and therefore remain careful – as if playing a game where showing vulnerability is risky. Between such people there is often a hypnotic pull: a strong passion, acute curiosity, an inability to let go. Yet this passion comes with its own venom – anxiety, suspicion, the fear of deception or betrayal. Partners may reach for each other and sting at the same time, often unconsciously causing pain. At the heart of this lies not only physical attraction, but a deep psychological knot – a struggle for power, attention, and the need for emotional validation.

The Snake can also signal the presence of a third person, usually a woman. This may be a rival, an ex-partner, a friend, or a relative – someone whose influence enters the relationship quietly, through hints, conversations, or emotional pressure. This creates tension and mistrust within the couple, a persistent feeling that «something is wrong,» even if no concrete evidence exists. In practical terms, the Snake manifests as jealousy, suspicion, secrecy, or emotional manipulation. One partner may secretly check the other’s messages, hide information, use silence as punishment, or hold grudges. Sometimes one partner deliberately provokes the other to test their feelings. Over time, this dynamic poisons the relationship, creating an invisible emotional distance. Even when love is present, it becomes heavy and electrified, as if a charged current runs between the two hearts.
