I think there are a few reasons...

1. Snake women might find the task of raising children to be a bore intellectually, it is kind of a simple, mundane, and repetitive task which may drive you up a wall lol .

2. Snake women (and men) are very vain and the thought of your figure being ruined might be a turn off.

3. Snakes LOVE their meditative quiet time, and a loud screaming baby will most definitely disturb their relaxation constantly lol

Although Snake women will be VERY protective of their children, and Snakes can be quite violent if necessary .

You're a Cancer RAS so I'm sure you'll be a great mother .

Yeah, Snake women are one of the most feminine as far as looks and behavior easily.

Also, we Snakes have a tendency towards laziness, which is part of our enjoying relaxation thing , but that can be an issue with the 24/7 job of raising a child/children.

Oh and you're welcome

Well I personally do, but I'm a Leo lol . I also have Jupiter and Chiron in the 5th in Cancer

I've also met childfree Cancer suns and have heard of a few Leos who don't want kids, and know a few who never had any (not sure if the ones who didn't wanted to or not; they never mentioned it one way or the other).

As for Chinese astrology, remember, too, that everyone born under the same year is the same sign, and even having the same sign, as with Western, there's a lot of diversity.

I myself like feminine things, but, other than cooking and decorating, I really don't have an interest in domestic stuff. I'm a lot more bossy and in some ways outright not-feminine, though I hide it: Linda Goodman called us Libras "iron fists in velvet gloves" for a reason!

LOL, I used to do that also, but with stray dogs too . Maybe it is my Venus in Virgo? I heard something about that placement liking small animals?

me too about the "BTW" part
Yes I thought i wanted kids b4 but now i am not so sure. what if i hate them?
I was told the same thing...that when i meet the right guy i wont be able to help the feeling of wanting to have kids with him

I READ ON THE INTERNET that snakes feel very compassionate for any suffering animals and will bring in stray animals and homeless people into their home lol. i'm not joking. that's what i read. i am like that too

The whole "oh you'll meet the right person" is just a condescending remark that people make to people without kids because THEY want you to do something. They try to push THEIR life choices on you--some because they're know-it-alls and think that they have everything figured out, and others because they're secretly miserable and want to drag you down with them.

If it were really true that "it's different when it's your own", there would never be one single case of child abuse or neglect. The fact is, it's just not true.

Really, some people want kids. Some don't. Some can go either way and don't care. Some feel torn about it. I don't think it wise to bow to societal pressure to have kids or a feeling of being obligated to have kids. If someone is going to have kids, frankly, I feel that they should want them without any doubts and should be in position to raise them--financially, materially, mentally, emotionally/psychologically, and in being able to find daycare/work it around their schedules and lifestyle. I don't believe in having kids just to have them or because one wants them: they need more than love. I don't really find it fair to a kid or to others to have a kid if you can't take care of it, don't want it, and won't do/aren't willing to do a good job of it.

At this point, I just refuse to associate with people who try to push their lifestyle on me and I just ignore them because they aren't worth it.

well, not everyone changes as they get older, though--I have quite a few in my family that never did

But i do think that those ppl who say that arent cray cray. they say it cuz it happened to them. there are actually a couple of aspects in astrology i have seen that say that you would want to have kids with that person bc ur love is so deep. shrugs. I've never felt that way, but i dont see why it couldnt happen.

well, to be fair, though, a couple's love can be just as deep or even deeper if they don't want kids--just because they don't want them or one does not want them doesn't mean that their love is less deep or meaningful

(wow, Platero, way to lay it on thick with double-negatives and fail grammar forever)

any specific ones that you do like? is it more afraid of them or just not liking their company?

I don't like every single animal--am scared of some animals--but I do love dogs and things that are cute, fluffy, and not likely to kill me

That's understandable, but you don't have to include the element, then we wouldn't know what year you are
