Table of Contents
Numerous belief systems on the past, present, and future of mankind span across the world. Some of them gain pan-world popularity and one of such prominent zodiac systems which explain the existence of mankind, its past, present, and future is the Chinese zodiac system.
Twelve zodiac signs form the base of the Chinese zodiac system. Each of the zodiac signs is represented by different animals and this assigning of zodiac signs to various animals is backed by several folk stories and legends that exist in the Chinese folklore and almost all of this credit the Jade Emperor with this feat.
Each animal assigned to the Chinese zodiac signs reflects their personality and several character traits to the year they represent and the people who are born in those years. This correlation between zodiac signs, the representative animals, the years that they represent, and the humans born in the different years enable the zodiac system to define the future and fortunes of each member of mankind.
The Chinese zodiac monkey represents the ninth of the zodiac signs. They are associated with the earthly branch in the 60-year calendar. Every day, the time from 3 to 5 in the afternoon represents the monkey.
In many of the cultural texts and folklore existing in China, the monkey is a symbol of long life and endurance.
The previous monkey years were 2016, 2004, 1992, 1980, 1968, 1956, 1944, and so on. According to the Chinese zodiac system, the next possible occurrence of the monkey year is in 2028.
Monkeys are extremely active persons who are clever, agile, and of a lively nature. They are extremely competitive in nature and are very chivalrous. A monkey is a social butterfly. They possess great social skills and develop great relationships and friendships with people so easily.
The smart, adventurous, and witty nature of the monkeys makes them a center of attraction in social circles. They are natural leaders who are capable of even dominating others. Their strong desire to pursue new things and amass more knowledge makes them a master of all cards. They have numerous talents and do not shy away from using them.
Sharp memory, ability to adapt to any environment, creativity, flexibility, etc. are the strong fortes of monkeys. They have all the skills that are necessary to make it to a successful entrepreneur.
Despite all the positive elements to flaunt, monkeys do possess certain shortcomings or downsides to their personality. As they like to talk and dominate more, they mostly come off as arrogant and self-centered. At times, they tend to disregard the laws and rules of the community and the society as a whole, out of the absence of respect towards establishments and systems.
They tend to lack perseverance and patience and they always seem to be on a go for better options. Everything that they achieve or gain makes them tired after a while and then they run for the next best thing. They are heavily dependent upon people, material things, etc. for happiness and unfortunately, they can not find permanent happiness in any of these.
Opportunism, hypocrisy, unfaithfulness, pride, etc. are several cathartic character flaws of the monkeys and they need to overcome these flaws by constant and conscious practice if they want to succeed and lead a peaceful and happy life.
As the Chinese zodiac monkey represents a wide array of personality traits and fortunes, it can or cannot define a monkey person completely. This is why the Chinese zodiac signs should be considered along with the Chinese element theory. The Chinese element theory states that the possible character traits of every zodiac sign are reflected in an individual only according to the related element present during the year. This explains why some of the monkey people do not completely represent the monkey sign’s character traits.

People usually admire them due to their charming personalities. But they lose interest in things very easily, making it hard for them to continue on a single path or be passionate about something for a while. They prefer to jump across the opportunities and the options, and the same happens in their relationships, as they may not be into long-term relationships.
Women born in a monkey year possess great social skills too. Their personality seems to attract many towards them, and it would be extremely easy for them to convince and influence others in a matter of time.
They are confident, optimistic, adaptable, competitive, and self-reliable. They don’t expect others to be their comforters or confidantes.
For monkeys, love life and married life could be walking on eggshells. Good care and caution must be provided to the relationship for it not to get strained or broken. There are even possibilities of one of the spouses being in an extramarital relationship due to the lack of happiness in the relationship.

As monkeys have the character flaw of not staying in anything, may it be a job, for a longer period, making them unfit for regular desk jobs. It would be much more preferable for them to pursue adventurous, risky, and uncertain jobs and fields.

The physical health of the monkeys is generally quite decent, but their agility and high energy may cause accidents to them often.
