Years Of The Monkey
1920, 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016, 2028
People born in the Year of the Monkey are the erratic geniuses of the cycle. Clever, skillful, and flexible, they are remarkably inventive and original and can solve the most difficult problems with ease. There are few fields in which Monkey people wouldn't be successful but they have a disconcerting habit of being too agreeable.
They want to do things now, and if they cannot get started immediately, they become discouraged and sometimes leave their projects. Although good at making decisions, they tend to look down on others. Having common sense, Monkey people have a deep desire for knowledge and have excellent memories. Monkey people are strong willed but their anger cools quickly. They are most compatible with the Dragon and Rat.

Ambitious and knowledgeable as they are, they can achieve great success in whatever career they decide to embrace. However, they have their weak points, such as a strong sense of superiority, egoism and vanity. So it is easy for them to become jealous when others achieve something or acquire something they don't have.
