Monkey Personality:

Monkey is ingenious, sharp, clever, alert, extremely entertaining, mercurial, and aggressive. Monkey embodies strong leadership potential and easily wins trust. Insistent on being the leader, Monkey won't allow anyone else to tell him what to do. Uninhibited Monkey rarely gets embarrassed by anything and is free to express himself fearlessly in all walks of life.

In Asia, the birthrate skyrockets in a Monkey year (as in Dragon year). A male Monkey child is preferred but a female Monkey is also very strong. She succeeds by accepting her yang nature and applying it to achievement in the world. Monkey is generous and sensitive, and loves to help others. In personal relationships, Monkeys can be playful and romantic, yet they may treat relationships as games and have trouble staying committed for an extended period of time. Impatient Monkey gets bored quickly and is constantly looking for distracting excitement, stimulation, and new games. He runs hot and cold in relationships and has a rigid caste system for judging others. Either you are high on Monkey's list and a valued player, or you you're not; either you contribute to Monkey's advancement, or you don't.
