One of the ways I see this card is the suggestion of a moment where many options and many possible paths are in front of you, and you have to choose based on what little information you have at the time, not knowing how things will turn out. I see the snake and the dragon as reflecting choices that later turn out to "bite" you. It's as if one is presented with three boxes and told to choose one, without knowing what exactly lies inside... it could either be precious jewels or a venomous snake.
So often, we have to proceed operating on little more than guesswork, and it is only a matter of chance and luck if things work out well. Actually, life is a lot more like this than a lot of us give it credit for being. We like believing we're in control, but we're not, and so often are at the mercy of random and chaotic elements... so I see a connection between this card and the Wheel of Fortune.
