If we take this story as a metaphor, from the tantric perspective, first there is no separation from God, all one, in the cosmic egg, Hirayangarbha.
Sense of separateness (ego) manifests polarities to feel, thus male & female aspects, male being potential energy, female, kinetic.
The serpent is us as consciousness or kundalini, banished (separated, dormant) from the male aspect (Shiva).
The rest is easy to correlate. All is one. One became two. The two yearn to become one again.
