Serpent
Teng She, the Coiling Snake, is one of the eight gods — Fire by element, supple and ever-shifting. It governs fright and the uncanny, falsehood and fraud, and entanglements that refuse to resolve; affairs that meet it run to false alarms and reversals — beware of traps.

Readings by Topic
The workplace winds itself in empty words: verbally promised promotions never land, and personnel rumors flip back and forth. Reduce commitments to writing and discount the grapevine. Creative work, metaphysics, and counseling can actually harness Teng She's uncanny air; read non-compete clauses word by word.
Guard against fraud in money matters: high-interest schemes, sham projects, and chained scams hook most easily now — money you cannot understand, refuse to earn. Accounts tangle and knot; clear old debts early. A weak Teng She brings mostly false alarms; strong, the con turns lifelike — verify large transfers through multiple channels.
Affections tangle and coil: ambiguity, old flames winding back, and advances of doubtful sincerity appear in turn. Cut through and draw clear boundaries; press the evasive for the plain truth. Divining another's heart, expect things withheld and words left unfinished — weigh promises by deeds, and believe only what you see.
It governs frightening dreams and insomnia, nervous exhaustion, skin allergies, and girdling conditions — shingles above all — and odd complaints that defy diagnosis answer to this god too. Calm the spirit and nourish the heart, with a psychological consultation alongside when needed. False alarms predominate: before repeating a test, try a different department and a different line of inquiry.
The road twists strangely: detours, booking errors, and clinging touts — and mind snake and insect bites besides. Recheck itineraries and tickets repeatedly, and keep a wary eye on chatty strangers. When Teng She is strong, avoid night driving and lonely stretches altogether.
Litigation coils without end: procedures repeat, the other side's testimony keeps shifting, and forged evidence and document traps lurk. Verify legal papers page by page on receipt; oral settlements count for nothing — only ink on paper does. A long-drawn case is the norm: stock up on both patience and proof.
