The Monkey
Years: 2016, 2004, 1992, 1980, 1968, 1956
You are the trickster genius of the zodiac. Quick, curious and endlessly inventive, the Monkey solves problems while everyone else is still reading the instructions. You think fast, talk faster, and charm your way through rooms that would trip up lesser signs. Boredom is your one true enemy, so you chase novelty, puzzles and clever shortcuts with real hunger.
Underneath the wit sits a sharp, calculating mind. You read people well and adapt on the fly, which makes you a brilliant improviser but sometimes a slippery one. You can talk yourself into schemes and out of trouble with equal ease. At your best you are generous, playful and magnetic. At your worst you cut corners, get restless and trust your own cleverness a little too much. Learn patience and follow-through, and few can match you.
In love you are flirtatious, funny and never dull, though you need a partner who keeps you mentally on your toes and does not fence you in. Once someone earns your trust and matches your wit, you commit with surprising warmth.
You shine in fast-moving, problem-solving work: business, tech, sales, media, anything that rewards quick thinking and a fresh angle. You are shrewd with money and spot opportunities early, though your love of risk means you should guard against clever gambles that overreach.
