The spunky Monkey is the original
party animal! Charming and energetic, Monkeys crave fun, activity and
stimulation. They truly know how to have a good time and can often be
seen swinging from one group of friends to another, attracting a motley
crew in the process. Always upbeat, they are considered minor
celebrities in their circle thanks to their sparkling wit and that
rapier-sharp mind. Perhaps surprisingly, Monkeys are also good listeners
and tackle complicated situations with ease. This Sign's natural
curiosity lends it the desire to become knowledgeable on a broad range
of topics. Monkeys have a show-off side that loves nothing more than to
dazzle their pals with all they know.The Monkey tends to be rather
accident-prone due to a certain lack of very high morals. This Sign's
first interest is pursuing its own pleasure; this is not a malicious
interest, it's just the way the Monkey is. However, this kind of
carefree self-involvement can lead to all kinds of scrapes. In love, the
Monkey makes a fun, exciting lover -- but one that may have the
potential to stray romantically. The good news is, the Monkey’s glib
manner and witty repartee can often get this Sign out of a scrape.
Perhaps not everyone will be won over by the Monkey -- but do you think
the Monkey really cares? The Monkey's world, full of devil-may-care
energy and revelry, isn't for everyone. Remember, though, it's not that
this Sign is mean; it might just be a bit too curious for its own good.
Monkeys often feel the need to try everything at least once, which can
make for a merry-go-round of relationships.
The Monkey's love of self-indulgence can also lead to other types of
trouble. This Sign may have limited self-control concerning food,
alcohol and other pleasurable activities. It's party time all the time
for the Monkey, yet when it leads to a monster hangover or a shattered
heart (generally someone else's, not theirs), this Sign might actually
show a touch of remorse. They won't flat-out admit the error of their
ways, but at least they'll pull back and try to tone things down -- for
a while.
Monkeys must try to learn to think of others ahead of themselves, at
least some of the time. This Sign's world will be more complete once it
realizes the world doesn't revolve around it.
The most compatible match for a Monkey is the
Rat or the Dragon.
