Chinese Compatibility and the Chinese Monkey
Chinese astrology is very different from western astrology. Most westerners are curious about which animal year they were born in, what’s the Chinese compatibility with other Chinese animals and that’s about the extent of their interest in Chinese astrology. Here’s a little more information on how astrology came to be in China.
According to Chinese legend, the twelve animals quarreled one day as to who was to head the cycle of years. The gods were asked to decide and they held a contest: whoever was to reach the opposite bank of the river would be first, and the rest of the animals would receive their years according to their finish.
All the twelve animals gathered at the river bank and jumped in. Unknown to the ox, the rat had jumped upon his back. As the ox was about to jump ashore, the rat jumped off the ox’s back, and won the race. The pig, who was very lazy, ended up last. That is why the rat is the first year of the animal cycle, the ox second, and the pig last.
If you were born in 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992 or 2004, then you are a Chinese Monkey in Chinese astrology. Monkeys are described as intelligent and able to influence people. An enthusiastic achiever, you are easily discouraged and confused.
Monkeys are good listeners and tackle complicated situations with ease. This Sign’s natural curiosity gives it a broad-based intellectual curiosity. A Monkey has a show-off side that loves nothing more than to impress their friends with all they know.
The Monkey’s world, full reckless 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. A Monkey often feels the need to try everything at least once, which can make for a merry-go-round of relationships.
