Quick-witted multi-taskers, monkeys make for great playmates and creative minds on any project. They’re often thinking about multiple things at one time, and if you want to know who said what at a certain party last week, then you should find the monkey who was among the crowd.

Their good capacity for remembering, however, can serve as a negative, as they are not likely to forget when people have acted and treated others badly. While they won’t go after you in obvious ways, be careful not to hurt any monkey you may need as a friend in the future.

Monkeys are determined, charismatic and often like to be everywhere at once. All this charisma and energy can be seen by others as vanity and the monkey should make sure it doesn’t turn into actual vanity. As long as the energy is focused outward (and not toward mischief) the monkey can go far in the world.

Remember to refer to this post for information about what your element and yin or yang mean in accordance to your sign.
