Overall Forecast

The Monkey will enjoy relatively good luck during the year of the Ox. The outlook for your Career, Wealth, and Relationship is good with the help of the auspicious stars that enter your Life Palace. Generally, you can look forward to a smooth year ahead with minimal bumps, but you'll need to be able to utilize the strength derived from the help of the Noble People.

You'll be able to enjoy the positive effects of the three auspicious stars: the Emperor Star, the Dragon Virtue Star, and the Jade Hall Star. These stars indicate that the strength that you derive from Noble People is very strong. Certain people will want to help you, and the assistance that you get from them is genuine and sincere. This will help turn any of the negative aspects into positive ones in the end.

The Monkey can look forward to scrambling the Career tree quite fast this year, but you'll have to continue putting in good effort. Also, this is a year to let your leadership skills shine at work, so don't be afraid to take the lead in certain matters. You will find that this might garner you a promotion or a pay raise. The Sky Happiness Star is another auspicious star that indicates the possibility of many joyous occasions, so you should allow yourself to enjoy them. The year holds the possibility of a marriage or the birth of a child.

However, there are some negative stars that the Monkey should watch out for: the Brutal Defeat Star, the Dark Sky Star, and the Death God Star. The Brutal Defeat Star indicates the possibility of things turning sour quite abruptly, and this might adversely affect your Wealth Luck. Don't be too worried, as  you will have plenty of help from Noble People that will offset the effects of this star. But to be on the safe side, don't invest in the stock market.

The Dark Sky Star points to the possibility of small, minor accidents. You should be careful of the little things, especially when traveling - keep a watchful eye on your luggage and personal belongings, and be on time for all your flights if you're going abroad. With the effect of the Death God Star, you should pay careful attention to the health of the elders in your family.

Career

With the help from Noble People, you should stand a good chance of getting promoted. But the quick-tongued Monkey must remember to always be gracious and humble; otherwise, the people who are left behind in the rat race may be compelled to talk about you behind your back.  The Monkey should strive to be accommodating and friendly or else this could cause some amount of stress to you. Those of you who work for the government can request for an exam or appraisal to garner a promotion, as the outcome will be good. The influence of the Brutal Defeat' Star can unfortunately indicate an excess of work; therefore, you shouldn't be afraid or hesitant to ask for help from people who have experience. Also, it will bode well for your to think twice before making an important decision. Some Monkeys might consider changing jobs, but may be hesitant about making the first step. You'll find that you may receive offers from others who see your potential but consider these offers carefully and thoroughly.

Wealth

The presence of the Emperor Star and Dragon Virtue Star will bode well for Monkeys who are in business. Your old clients will be likely to introduce you to newer clients who can help your business grow. It may have been hard for you to expand your business up till now, so this is a good year to expand, as your Nobleman Luck is strong. Even if you face problems and obstacles, you will receive appropriate help from Noble People. Be careful of the Brutal Defeat Star, as things can abruptly go bad. It's best to prepare for this by planning your finances well and setting aside some money for a rainy day when you do receive a windfall. The Sky Happiness Star points toward the possibility of a marriage, or the birth of a child - both of which could entail quite a bit of expense.

Relationship

The Sky Happiness Star heralds lots of happy events, and marriage is one of them. Couples who have been together for a long time have a strong chance of entering matrimony. Monkeys who are married are likely to welcome children into their lives this year. But a word of caution--you should be alert to any potential situations that involve a third-party romantic interference, and steer clear of it in order to protect your marriage. Female Monkeys who are keen to find a partner may find it difficult relying on their charm alone this year! Don't hesitate to ask for help from Noble People - which can include getting your friends to introduce you to someone new. But remember, the outcome still depends on the Monkey taking the initiative and making a move of some sort! You may also want to pencil in all the wedding dinners to which you're invited into your planner, as you might just strike up a romantic spark with someone at these events!

Health

Health problems should not concern you too much this  year, as the positive stars in your Life Palace could help you overcome any issues that crop up. Those of you who have blood pressure-related problems will have to be vigilant, as blood pressure and cholesterol levels may rise in sudden spurts. Female Monkeys have a very strong chance of expecting a child this year, and those who are not ready to become mothers should take the necessary precautions.

Monkeys born in Different Years

1920 (Metal)

You're a spry, lively Monkey who still enjoys good energy and this is something you should be proud of! You need to be careful of being ever-emotional and sensitive where younger people are concerned. You may think that they're neglecting you, but is mainly due to your perceptions. Your Wealth and Health Luck are not bad, and try to always keep an open mind this year. Generally, you have a happy and pleasant year ahead of you.

1932 (Water)

Your Indirect Wealth Luck may change quite fast. If you invest in stocks, don't attempt to get more than you can. Remember that too much wealth deteriorates your health! On that note, take note of your health problems, especially where your kidneys and bladder are concerned. Your Learning Luck is still strong, so do consider taking up any skills or knowledge you've always wanted to acquire.

1944 (Wood)

Your Health Luck is average, and you may find it easy to get injured or hurt. For that reason, avoid participating in any dangerous or aggressive sports. You may have the opportunity to renovate or move homes, and while this is exciting, it may leave you feeling physically drained. So don't forget to rest in moments in between it is a good year to travel.

1956 (Fire)

The Monkey will be rather busy helping others, especially family and friends. But don't invest too much of your energy in it, as it does not help your career or wealth in any way. Don't loan money to your friends and family, as the likelihood of getting it back is quite slim. Where your health is concerned, you should take note of any health problems related to dental issues and the digestive system.

1968 (Earth)

You may receive offers from people who see your potential, and this is something that you should accept only if it concerns a field you're already familiar with. Even though you will receive help from Noble People, there are still chances for you to lose money, so be sure to evaluate any decision and think it through carefully. In terms of health, you are prone to injuries on the hands and legs, so refrain from doing any sports or physical activity that is too aggressive or demanding.

1980 (Metal)

Your Nobleman Luck is strong. You will receive help and recognition from your seniors and superiors. Your career will be smooth, but you may tend to feel unhappy because your results are not as good as you expected. You may tend to compare yourself with others too much, and this may cloud your judgment in a negative way. The best antidote to this is to reduce the pressure you place on yourself, and try your best to stop comparing yourself to others. In terms of your health, you should be careful of potential stomach problems, especially when you are traveling.

1992 (Water)

Your Learning Luck is strong, and you will enjoy obvious improvements in your examination results. However, don't be troubled by relationship matters as this may then cause you to lose focus and concentration on your studies.

2004 (Wood)

Young Monkeys may be especially prone to injuries this year. Try to curb your hot temper, and have more focus on your learning. If your parents arrange for you to join in any courses or programs, consider this as a good sign and give your full participation, as there could be a certain amount of benefit derived.
