Chinese Zodiac: Monkey

The Monkey is the ninth animal of the Chinese Zodiac who rule over 3PM to 5PM, west-southeast and August. Has the saying of “I entertain” and the colours of white and yellow with the gemstone of Monkey’s being the peridot. The last Monkey’s Born were the Wood Monkey’s from 22nd January 2004 to 8th of February 2005 with the next Monkey’s born to be the Fire Monkey’s from 8th February 2016 to 27th January 2017.


Monkey’s are fun and loving people, known for being ever cheerful and energetic. These people are known to get plenty of attention, it is their charm and humour that gets this attention plus popularity. However, Monkey’s can be deceptive and will hide their opinions of others through friendliness

Monkey’s are good at problem solving, are intelligent and curious. It is this curiosity itself that will cause Monkey’s themselves thirst for more knowledge. Monkey’s can be egotistical and self-centred at times while also very opportunistic but they couldn’t care less about this due to being indifferent.

These people make loyal and devoted friends but as lovers can be very passionate and flirty, yet get easily tired of their relationship and look for another lover. I also find it amusing that it is said that Monkey’s will tease Tiger’s unmercifully but the two will make great lovers.

It is also worth noting that Monkey’s are the kind of people who can pretty much do any job as long as they put their minds to it due to their adaptability. Monkey’s are also likely to become famous or well known, but Monkey’s have also been known to not care about their own reputations.

The allies of the Monkey is the Rat and Dragon, with the secret friend being the Snake.
