Gung Hay Fat Choy

Gung Hay Fat Choy to all my friends who celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year. It’s the year of the money, and according to Chinese tradition, people born in 2016, 2004, 1992, 1980, 1968, 1956, or 1944 have the following characteristics:

People born in the year of the monkey are quick witted, charming, lucky, adaptable, lively, intelligent and playful. They are mischievous but well-intentioned jokesters who love to play pranks but don't mean to cause harm.

The general image of people in this zodiac sign is of always being smart, clever and intelligent, especially in their career and wealth.

In addition, their gentleness and honesty bring them an everlasting love life. Although they were born with enviable skills, they still have several shortcomings, such as an impetuous temper and a tendency to look down upon others.

Strengths: sociable, innovative, enthusiastic, self-assured

Weaknesses: suspicious, cunning, selfish, arrogant, jealous
