Monkeying Around

Happy Chinese New Year! I did not even eat Chinese food today but I should have since this is my year. Oh yes, I am a Monkey! That should be obvious with my love for monkeying around, my daily banana, my ability to throw a monkey wrench into everything... and my hairy legs. (In the "off season" anyway.)

What is in store for me and others born in 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992 and 2004?

First, a little bit about the Monkey...

According to traditional Chinese horoscope, people believed that Monkey people may suffer misfortune in the Zodiac Birth Year. There are a lot of potential dangers, difficulties and losses in the whole year. Therefore, they need to be very careful all the time, especially when driving or getting sick. However, the opportunities also coexist with challenges in this year. They are provided with great chances to change their life thoroughly. They may get big breakthroughs or make rapid progress in work and study.

Sounds ominous and not all that fun. Let's get down to specifics for 2016. And you know these have to be true because they are on the Internet! (You can tell by the sentence structure that either these were translated or just plain poorly written.)

Career Ambitious goals, switching jobs... In 2016, the fortune in career is really unpredictable. Monkey people have a lot of ambitions in this year, and they try to realize them to change their current life condition. They may want to switch a new job, start a career on their own or pursue a high education. They are indecisive and hesitant, what makes them less concentrated in their present work. At last, they may achieve nothing in this year. Therefore, they are supposed to stay still in their old career and get improvement step by step, which could be a strong basis for the future development.

Wealth Handsome gain, spending problem... In this year, they can make a fortune easily, but could also run out of money soon. They have a thin awareness of financial management, and cannot take control of the spending problem. They also get a little luck in easy money, but it is better to avoid investing a great deal amount savings in business project. When lending or borrowing money, they should be very cautious, otherwise they may suffer financial woes. It will be quite helpful to make a budget before spending.

Love and Relationships Stable marriage, entangled relationships... Their fortune in relationship and love is favorable, but they are not aware of that. For the married people in Chinese zodiac Monkey sign, their relationship will be in a stable stage, but they may feel constrained. Nagging and complaining will trigger their fury. However, they would better behave patient about these, otherwise squabbles cannot be avoided if they fight back. For single people, they long for true love, but they are entangled in several relationships. Once they adopt a serious and sincere attitude towards love affair, they will gain a long lasting relationship.

Health Kidney disease possibility, regular exercise... Their health condition in 2016 is unfavorable according to Chinese zodiac analysis. Special attention should be paid to kidney and skin disease. For the old, once they get asthma, cough or pneumonia, they need to go to hospital at once. Meanwhile, it is suggested to take regular exercise to build up their bodies. In this year, they might be easily irritated, and that also results in some mental sickness. Maintain a peaceful mind and learn to forgive.

Luck Prediction for Monkeys Born in 1968: People at age of 48 (I'm still 47 right now!) will spend a stable year, for everything develops in their control. In work field, there may be insidious people playing tricks behind, so they should be cautious when they speaking. Direct squabbles should be avoided, and a modest attitude might be helpful. The best way to get rid of bad mood is to concentrate in work. More attentions should be paid to digestive problems. It is advisable to go on a light diet and avoid eating raw and cold food.

So, there you have it, my fellow 47.5-year-old friends. Money will come and go. Our relationships will be tested if we nag too much. We gotta watch our back at work. Our bodies are going to pot. And we are psycho.

Great.

Good thing I have the World's Greatest BFF to get my "new year" off on the right foot!
