People born under the Chinese sign of the Monkey are great fun to be around. Monkeys are bouncy people, always young at heart, born entertainers, loving pranks and riddles. Happiest when they have an audience, they love social gatherings that are light hearted. Others forgive their tendency to show off because they are such fun to have around.
People born under this sign are intelligent and quick thinkers. However, this can lead to impatience with others and boredom.
Monkeys attract many friends because they are amusing and witty. However, they are not particularly loyal or reliable. They are so busy several interests at once that they often ignore others. They do not intend to be hurtful, it just that their enthusiasm gets the better of them.
Monkeys are best suited to flexible, fast moving careers that can meet their need for change. Few Monkeys stay in the same career for life.
