How they combine

Two long-game minds stacked: the Snake's positioning, Capricorn's construction schedule — the board of ten years hence, first stones placed today. The gift is "patience as power itself" — the one player least afraid of attrition holds the best odds. The risk is reaching the summit alone: having won the whole way up, trust and warmth both left at base camp.

The Snake side

Its strengths are deep insight, calm self-command, and the focus to research to the bottom; its weaknesses are wariness and concealment — keeping its own counsel so that even intimates guess wrong. Depth is the gift; trust is the assignment.

The Capricorn side

Its strengths are discipline, responsibility, and turning "the long run" into instinct; its weaknesses are severity and inhuman standards for itself, demanding that even rest prove its eligibility. It is the late bloomer of the twelve — and sometimes simply late.
