Year of the Monkey: dates, characteristics and compatibility

According to the eastern horoscope, each year has its own patron from the animal world, and he gives children born in his term, certain character traits, talents, and so on. Someone is skeptical about such a character prediction, someone absolutely believes in it, but we will say that the supposed traits in a person really appear quite often, especially if you look not only at the year, but also at the zodiac sign.

The above description should not be taken as an axiom, but in general the tendencies attributed to each sign are observed. Consider what are people born in the year of the Monkey.

The Chinese calendar assumes a twelve-year cycle, which means that the year of the Monkey occurs every 12 years. This sign includes people who were born in the last century in 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980 and 1992. In this century, the Year of the Monkey was already in 2004, the last time in 2016. Simple arithmetic suggests that the next Monkeys can be expected in 2028.

It should be noted that not the entire calendar year in the European sense refers to the sign that is attributed to it. Chinese New Year has a rolling date that jumps between late January and mid-February, so 2016 The monkey took over only on February 3, and lost ground only 11.5 months later - on January 22. Thus, the birth of a child in January, and sometimes in early February, means that it belongs to the sign of the previous year.

Those who are fond of Eastern esotericism know that each sign also has variable colors and elements, which also affect specific features, albeit not as strongly as the sign as a whole. So, people born in 1980 - White Metal Monkeys, 1992 gave the world Black Water, and the kids born in 2016 - Red Fire Monkeys.

The Monkey guy is both resourceful and ambitious, so his success in any industry is not an accident, but the fruit of a well-thought-out plan. He likes to develop his own career, sometimes he is so obsessed with it that he gladly breaks well-known rules at the risk of himself, just to try to achieve more.

Because of this, sometimes problems arise if the baby contacted bad company or conceived something that will certainly face the condemnation of adults. Even if the thing started, undoubtedly, is a useful and correct thing, there is still a high probability that it will be abandoned, because the little Monkey does not know how to concentrate his attention on the same activity for a long time. At the same time, the child does not hesitate to ask for help if he needs it.

Despite the fact that the Monkey is often praised for his intelligence and ingenuity, when choosing a future profession, such a person should pay main attention not to these trump cards, but to his ability to communicate with other people.

This, of course, is a very conditional statement, because everyone is submissive to love. Even the frivolous and selfish Monkey, having met a truly worthy person, abandons his own established habits for the sake of marriage.

In a pair, the most difficult thing for Monkeys is getting used to the fact that you need to focus not only on yourself. Lapping is usually difficult for them, often the union breaks up in the early stages, since the representatives of this sign see no reason to limit themselves at least a little, if there is no one hundred percent return on the other side.

Her analytical mind had already prepared the hostess for the fact that such an option was possible, she had already figured out in advance why this could happen, so this is nothing new for her. It is the ability to understand other people that makes contact with the ex possible. The monkey does not think in terms of betrayal, but assesses the situation soberly.

The disadvantages of a potential partner do not remain hidden from the representatives of this sign. In most cases, they do not want to put up with them, giving the other half a choice - to urgently change or give way to someone else. At the same time, the Monkey believes that a good past should not be spoiled by inappropriate showdowns and showdowns in the end, which greatly simplifies the separation.
