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. 

猴

        屬猴的人通常很有趣，頑皮，而且是歡樂的代表。他善於交際，好像與任何人都合得來，實際上，這不過是他的策略，因為他是非常自私的。他也是十分自負而目空一切的。但是，這也是某些因素所使然，因為屬猴的人不斷探求知識，通常是受過高深教育及很有修養的人。他頗聰明，即使是最因難的問題也可使之迎刃而解。他是個機會主義者，只要是他自己選擇的職業，他都會成功。
        在愛情方面，他是註定要失敗的，因為他是太容易投入感情，亦太容易收起感情。屬猴的人與屬龍和屬鼠的最合得來，與屬虎的人合作做生意最適合，雖然猴時常嘲笑虎，但是他們倆人的合作會成為很有實力的一對。
