Last year was not a very good year for the Monkey, due to your star being in opposition to the Diety of the Year (fan Tai Sui). However, this year is a very lucky year for the Monkey, to the extent that sometimes you will find it unbelievable. However, you must have flexibility and adapt to changes, not being afraid of competition, and to put out, in order to receive this good luck. This year, despite the good luck, you may encounter unexpected problems, or even good things that happen. Of course, problems will be frustrating, but good things will allow you to glide through easily. Essentially, to take care of problems this year, even though you have good luck, consider yourself still walking on thin ice, that is to say you need to be very cautious. You need to take things step by step and work hard to climb up. However, do not force things, do dangerous things, or go and break the law. Take the steady route and not hope for luck to bring you the goods. If you are overly confident or arrogant of your good luck and do risky things expecting good returns, your luck in actuality is not stable, and may trap you in a corner. Of course, someone will help you, but even though the good luck may erode eventually.
For the Monkey this year, can easily become stressed out and may find energy and confidence lacking. How can you face the competition and ever changing environment? No matter physically or psychologically, you must be take care of your health and rest more. Do not attend unnecessary events or entertaining. More importantly, do not take up unhealthy hobbies or submerge yourself in drinking and/or women. As a result, even though you have good luck, you will be unable to use it.
You do have financial luck this year, but you get what you work for, so if you work more and harder, there will be more gains. You may rise/gain easily, but you will still need to monitor carefully for any drops, like a boat going over a wave safely, but it is a rocky journey. Of course, if you have the health and energy, you won’t be afraid of the ocean tide changes. It is more ideal that you play the role of consultant, giving people advice and helping people plan, rather than heading things yourself, as that is the way to avoid risks and gives you the opportunity to show your abilities. Therefore, don’t be petty with people, be stable and don’t be afraid to give more than you take, so that better things can happen. Despite good financial luck, this is not a suitable year for big investments. Cease if the expenses are too big; else wise, you may find yourself in a situation. This year financial loss may result from words coming out of your mouth or alternatively, words coming into your ears, so be aware of what you say or hear. Be also aware of the opposite sex affecting your financial status, so you must be very clear minded in dealing with money and relationship. If the balance is more towards relationship over money, it may result in the loss of both relationship and money, as well as the possibility of lawsuit or hurt your reputation. Carelessness may also result in your financial loss, so you must be very careful in your documents and contracts, as error can result in your losses. Also, this is not a good year for investing in quick financial returns; rather, long term, stable investments like bonds/term deposits, or real estate can allow you to keep your principle and increase in value over time.
The Monkey’s mood this year is unstable and therefore difficult for others to predict what you are feeling, so it can easily produce friction in your relationship and hurt your partner. So it is very important for you to be reflective of yourself and be more caring and sensitive towards the people around you, including your elders. Don’t let your mood erode your family relationship and love. It may even affect your work. For the single Monkey, finding a life long partner will not be easy. There will be many opportunities this year, but they may not work out. However, if you are lucky enough to find true love, you must work very hard to nurture the relationship, communicate more, spend more time with that person and marry that person early, to improve your luck and make your temperament more stable. Those who are married, you must beware, as you can easily hurt yourself with extramarital relationships, which will result in financial loss, or worse yet, destroy your family life, and perhaps even your health, in terms of injury; therefore you must learn self control and to deal with your matters appropriately. For the single Monkey, in particular females, you will be overly sensitive and temper especially poor, forcing your boyfriend/partner into a situation where they can not tolerate you any longer and break up with you or find another person, then the relationship would be unsalvageable.
There will be a lot of gossip coming from your mouth, so you must take caution, be responsible for what you say, and speak only when appropriate, or else it will be too late to regret. Be also aware of conflicting opinions amongst your family, so bear in mind that a peaceful family is a happy family and a restless family is one that doesn’t stop talking. This year for the Monkey, especially female, you must also remember to be sensible and not be tempted by love outside a relationship; otherwise if you fall into a love trap, it can result in financial loss, as well as injury or sickness. The Monkey will also be susceptible to being over stressed, suffer from insomnia, and easily sick from gastrointestinal illnesses. Do not overdo drinking, sex, and working, and neglect rest and health, which can cause you problems.
