Since I was born on the cusp of the year of the Snake, does that mean that I am a metal snake like those born in 2001?

00ReplyYes you are a metal snake, the same as people born in 2001. In the chinese calendar, the year 2001 doesn't end until February 11, 2002. So, yes you are a metal snake just like people born between January 1 - December 31, 2001 under the Western calendar.
