THE SIGN OF THE MONKEY
Monkeys are fun-loving
people who really enjoy a good time with friends, family or anyone else
for that matter. They love practical jokes and like to play tricks on
colleagues and friends alike. Monkeys tend to stir up trouble simply out
of boredom, which can end up being more hurtful than they intended. Often,
when this causes trouble, they expect others to understand it was all a
joke and to deal with the consequences on their own.
Monkeys are curious
creatures as well. Some people call them nosy. Others call them
interested. The Chinese say they are just downright curious. Although
gifted with a strong intellect, creativity and intuition are nor their
fortes. They can’t put themselves in your shoes even if they try and will
become easily distracted or confused.

more like big brothers and sisters than actual parents. They retain their
child-like qualities and therefore find it easier to relate to their
children than other people might. Monkey parents don’t experience the
generation gap other families might, partly because they remember what it
is like to be a child. However, becoming a parent can cramp a Monkey’s

night. They would prefer to be out and about, and sometimes take their
children with them if it’s appropriate.

of life. They are vivacious and colorful characters, curious about
everything in life. They can’t stay still for long and concentrating is

without consequences. Their antics can be disturbing to other children,
which can land them in a heap of trouble.
