China’s Monkey Zodiac sign

The Chinese have ushered in a new Lunar year, its 4713th,  called Year of the Monkey. It began 8 February, with festivities even outside of China. Well they need to, the next year of monkey will be in 2028.

According to reports, anyone born in 2016, 2004, 1992, 1980, 1968, 1956, 1944  is a monkey, in line with  the Chinese Zodiac signs, which comprise 11 other  animal symbols.

According to www.express.co.uk, the Chinese zodiac sign  is divided into 12 blocks of time – much like the western  calendar – but each lasts a year rather than a month.

Alongside Year of the Monkey, there are also five vital elements: Gold, Water, Wood, Fire or Earth. This year it’s fire.

People born in the Year of the Monkey are defined by two characteristics: Competition And Challenge

According to ‘Chinese Five Elements Horoscopes,’ this year will be all about trying to deal with ‘financial events’.

The horoscope defines ‘Monkey’ as a smart, naughty and vigilant animal. It adds: “If you want to have good return for your money investment, then you need to outsmart the Monkey.”

Metal is also said to be connected to the Wind. That implies the status of events will be changing very quickly. Think twice before you leap when making changes for your finance, career, business relationship and people relationship.
