In love readings, Snake next to the Woman card has traditionally been read as another woman or a rival influence near the relationship. It can equally describe the female querent facing manipulation, or a complicated female figure (relative, friend) influencing the bond. Confirm with surrounding cards before naming anyone.

FAQ
Does Snake and Woman always mean there is another woman?
No — that is one traditional reading among several. It can be a manipulative female figure of any kind, a woman facing complications, or the snake describing the situation rather than a person. Demand corroboration from the spread before concluding.
How do I tell whether the Snake is a person or a situation?
Proximity and clustering. If Snake sits tightly between two people's cards, a third-party reading gains force. If it sits near situation cards (work, house, money), it more likely describes circumstances.
