The new year is almost upon us! This year is the year of the monkey, so if you were born in 44, 56, 68, 80, or 92, this is your year! Monkeys are witty, intelligent, and have a magnetic personality. Personality traits, like mischievousness, curiosity, and cleverness, make them very naughty. Monkeys are masters of practical jokes, because they like playing most of the time. Though they don’t have any bad intentions, their pranks sometimes hurt the feelings of others. Monkeys are fast learners and crafty opportunists.

HOWEVER, this year is a fire monkey year, and may not be good for people born in a year of the Monkey. A year of one’s birth sign is believed to be the most unlucky in the 12-year cycle. Monkeys who take Chinese astrology seriously will be particularly careful about their health, love lives, career and investments.
