Sun and Snake in Lenormand
Sun is success; Snake is complication. Read in that order, the pair says: success tangled in clever complications.
Reading Sun + Snake
Here the Sun's success is threaded through Snake's complications: strategy, detours, office politics and hidden costs. The achievement stands, but it comes by a winding route and probably needs clever handling rather than open force. At work a good result may attract rivalry or a colleague's manoeuvring; in money, check what the win actually costs. Nothing here is straightforward, so the shine has to be navigated.
How the order works
Sun comes first and supplies the subject: success and vitality. Snake comes second and modifies it: entangled and winding. Together: Success and vitality entangled and winding.
Swap them and the sentence changes. Snake + Sun begins with complication and strategy and ends with shining with success — Success won through clever strategy
