The tables
Why the pair is rated this way
The Snake and the Horse are neighbors on the circle of twelve. They are not a harmony, a trine, a clash or a harm pair, so the classical tables call the pair neutral: nothing special pulls them together or apart.
Both are fire signs, the Snake yin and the Horse yang, so in five-element terms they speak the same language.
The Snake rules the summer month that starts around May 6 and the hours from 9 am to 11 am; the Horse rules the summer month that starts around Jun 6 and the hours from 11 am to 1 pm.
For comparison, the Snake's harmony partner is the Monkey and its trine partners are the Rooster and the Ox; the Horse's harmony partner is the Goat and its trine partners are the Tiger and the Dog.
Reading
In love, friendship and work
Traditionally the Snake is wise, intuitive and private, and the Horse is energetic, sociable and independent. The Snake tends to bring insight and look for trust; the Horse tends to bring enthusiasm and look for freedom.
In love, the zodiac neither helps nor blocks this pair, so the rest of each chart, and the two people, decide how it goes.
As friends or co-workers they tend to move at the same pace and understand each other quickly.

Your pair
Check two birth years
A zodiac year starts in late January or February, not on January 1: Chinese New Year calendars switch at Lunar New Year, and saju switches at Lichun, around February 4. If you were born in January or early February, you may belong to the year before.
Beyond the birth year
On Bias Match the animal that counts most is not the birth year but the day branch, the animal in each person's day pillar. If two people's day branches are Snake (巳) and Horse (午), the compatibility calculator scores that check as zero, neither plus nor minus, next to five other checks.
The text is fixed sentence templates filled in with the classical relation tables built into the Bias Match engine; no AI model generates or rewrites it. For entertainment only: the zodiac describes old patterns, not what will happen between two people.
