Chinese Zodiac Monkey – Personality Traits:
The Chinese zodiac Monkey is the very vision of complexity. They are intensely cerebral people who are driven by their emotions. Given time to think ahead Monkey can see their way through a situation. But if on the spot, Monkey can be expected to react emotionally, perhaps reverting to the basic slinging of poo in the worst of circumstances.
The Monkey sign is not concerned with their self-image, making them a bit of a wacky character, and all too often a bit of an unintentional clown. However, Monkey is also completely non-nonplussed in the face of others’ oddities and idiosyncrasies. They let other people be themselves and take their personalities as is. The Chinese Monkey people can approach a situation from an unattached, non-moralistic point of view. This allows them to be enthused by all new experiences and trains of thought.
Chinese Monkey Zodiac Sign – Strengths:
The Chinese Monkey zodiac sign lives a life without fear of criticism or judgment. They care little for the opinions of others and make no effort to pass judgment on them either. After all, life is a series of new and exciting adventures, and the Monkey is driven by curiosity to explore all things.
The Monkeys are humble, their curiosity keeping them constantly aware that there are many things they simply do not know, and thank goodness for that! If they knew everything there’d be nothing more to explore, and what a dull life that would be. They survive some of life’s worst tragedies by being able to find the experiential value in an event, and therefore will always survive, to move on to the next experience.
Chinese Monkey Zodiac Sign – Weaknesses:
Consistency is an utterly alien concept to the Chinese astrology Monkey sign. Everything must be new and shiny and routine is something that is spiritual murder to them. If there is a chance of excitement, of random chance, of an experiential revelation, then the Monkey is all over it. This, unfortunately, makes gambling an addiction.
The Monkey traits show they have difficulty staying away from, the constant change that pulls them in. Monkey is not, unfortunately, a creature of pure candor. Instead, they will accept the opinions of others in public while keeping their private reservations to themselves. The Law is an optional element in their life. As far as their security is supported by it, it will be respected. Once that line is crossed, all legal aspects are purely optional.
Chinese Zodiac Monkey – Career:
The Chinese horoscope for the Monkey shows they are among the most diverse of people, carrying around a mountain of talents. But often they are not a master of any of them. They are, unremittingly versatile and creative, and always learning at every possible turn.
Consistency in the workplace will lead to the death of a Monkey man or woman. They must be able to move freely within the world, within their work, or they will find themselves disheartened and without enthusiasm. Their love of new horizons sets them well at home within research and technology or anywhere where discoveries can be made. Office politics are utterly beyond them. But it’s a sad Monkey that finds himself entangled in its web.
Chinese Monkey As A Boss:
The Monkey personality is rather a poor choice for being a leader. They are warm and open and can accept anyone, which will make them adept at dealing with a mixed group of people. But they are far too inconsistent to be in charge of such a situation. Their utter distaste for conformity makes them even less suited for this position.
A Boss needs to be able to guide a group through to its goals, and the Monkey is poorly suited to driving people in a line. On the other hand, they will be decidedly good at personal relations. So those under their purview will at the very least find themselves with an agreeable leadership, if an ineffective one. The only time the Chinese Monkey is suited to be a boss is if he is his boss!
Chinese Monkey As A Co-Worker:
The Monkey zodiac person will fit well in the workplace. They will bring levity and brightness to a group but do not necessarily work well in a group. In the right place, they can be an absolute asset to a team, pointing them in previously unconsidered directions and therefore letting them break new ground.
Keep the Monkey out of the routine. Instead, allow him to have his reins and go in his direction. He will quickly tire of a position, and be the most effective. He should be moved about within the structure, always handed new tasks, with care taken to keep an eye on his focus. Once it wavers, give those born in the Monkey years something new to look at.
Chinese Zodiac Sign Monkey – Money:
Money doesn’t drive the Chinese Monkey sign, adventure does. While Monkeys may be able to make more than a living wage, it’s never going to be what makes them pursue a new venture. They are certainly able to make financially viable decisions, and their drive for innovation can indeed make them wealthy.
But in the end, it’s going to be the pursuit of new ground that’s going to keep the Monkeys moving forward, not financial gain. Gambling is always a problem for the Monkey. Just because every new hand or spin of the wheel is going to lead them on a new if brief, adventure. So their relationship with money is going to be as chaotic as their day-to-day life.
Dating A Chinese Zodiac Monkey:
Dating a Chinese Monkey person guarantees that you will be taken on new adventures in your love life. Unfortunately, they are also inconsistent and wandering in love. This makes life hard as they also deeply desire love and hate being alone. Their attitude makes them very quick to fall in love. This makes it difficult for them to find stable love affairs.
The Monkey sign also has a problem with commitment without question. When their partner becomes serious, that’s when they will flee like mad. For them to be in a committed relationship will require someone as fun-loving and intelligent. Their companion must keep them on their toes and constantly surprise them. Most imperative to their love life, however, is their friendship with their partner.
Chinese Zodiac Monkey – Love:
The Chinese zodiac Monkey is an inventive and playful lover who enjoys giving and receiving pleasure in equal measure. However, they are not as obsessed with it as some. Monkeys’ experiences mean that they desire the love of a partner and mental and physical play are equally important.
Know that for a monkey, love will turn to play, to after-play, and all of it is the greatest game ever. They will be enthusiastic, and may very well take you into realms that make your mind-boggle. But it is another place where seriousness will never be a strong point in their relationships.
