| Monkeys
are fun and loving persons who are always cheerful and energetic. They
are very clever. Give a monkey a boring book to read and he'll turn it
into a Musical. Better yet, he'll invite everyone to see it free!
That's how talented, creative and generous monkeys usually are. If you go to a party, you'll find Monkeys at the center of attention. Their charm and humor is the key to their popularity. Sociable and diplomatic as they may appear, they can be deceptive sometimes - they hide their opinions of others beneath their friendliness. But they don't hide their emotion. You can probably tell how a monkey is feeling from miles away - he wants everyone to know how happy or depressed he is. Monkey people are very good at problem-solving. Wherever you are, whoever you may be, if you've got a problem pick up the phone and dial-a-Monkey. Monkeys know how to listen closely and work out solutions at the same time. And because Monkeys' curiosity, they usually have a great thirst for knowledge. Still they have few scruples - they could be unreasonable sometimes, and they have the ability to persuade themselves and everyone around them to believe that they are doing the right things. Some say monkeys are self-centered, some say they are opportunistic, some say they are guileful, but monkeys couldn't care less - because they are also indifferent. The monkey has a good chance of becoming famous or well-known. Whatever he does, his charm and luck will make him successful. As friends, Monkeys are both loyal and devoted, as lovers, they can be passionate and yet flighty - they can fall easily in love but will get tired of the relationship and look for another. Most Monkeys have one fetish - FOOD. They are not pigs, they don't stuff themselves with food, instead, they just have this habit of eating snacks whenever they like, and wherever they like. And one last truth about monkey people is, they adore bananas. Go visit your monkey friend's kitchen, I bet you will find some bananas there. |
| The
Monkey is lively, likable and witty. Highly sociable, the Monkey is
talkative and, as a fascinating conversationalist, he attracts a wide
circle of friends. People born under this influence have an innately
low boredom threshold. Inquisitive in the extreme and forever believing
that the grass is greener elsewhere, they need to find continual
stimulation to keep themselves interested and amused. However, often
Monkeys are too clever for their own good and can be mettlesome,
opportunistic, and unscrupulous to the point of being tricky and
manipulative. This is because Monkey types possess acute psychological
perspicacity which enables them to read people like books. In
particular, women under the Monkey influence can play rather subtle
games with members of the opposite sex. And although Monkeys give the
impression of getting on fabulously with everybody, this great rapport
is often nothing but a ruse -- Monkeys are in fact egotistical and
selfish. They tend to be lazy, concentrating on small matters while
ignoring more important issues. They ignore obstacles, finding them
beneath their consideration. Playful, even obliging at times, the Monkey hides the poor opinion he has of others beneath his apparent friendliness. He distrusts people born under any other sign and considers himself to be superior to all of them. He has plenty of intelligence and a fantastic ability to pull the wool over people's eyes. He is so artful that he can even fool the Dragon -- who is strong, stubborn, and no fool himself -- and resist the magnetism of the Tiger, whom he teases unmercifully. Monkeys are highly adaptable and versatile. Enthusiastic about everything, they spend their time broadening their minds and are especially fascinated with art. They like refinement, originality and luxury. Inventive and intelligent, those born in these years can solve most problems quickly and skillfully, and are able to accomplish much in business. Monkeys shamelessly acknowledge their attraction to money. They quickly assimilate facts and figures, picking up new skills and techniques almost instaneously. In business it is their opportunism coupled with their keen competitive instinct that gives them an eye for that tiny opening into which only Monkeys can insinuate themselves. Once they have instilled themselves, it is their ability to turn their hands to anything that will bring them ultimate success and, in many cases, even make their fortune. The Monkey can succeed in any profession. Politics, diplomacy, industry, trade -- none of them will have any secrets from him. He can try anything and anything will work, especially if he has been fortunate enough to have a higher education. Though the renowned adaptability of the Monkey personality takes those born under this sign into a variety of occupations, many will naturally gravitate towards show business. This is because Monkey-born people have a compelling need to be noticed. Unfortunately, because they are such audacious people and care very little about their reputations, it does not matter much to them whether the impression they create is one of pleasure or of shock. It is simply a case of the more publicity they can generate around themselves, the happier they are. The first part of the Monkey's life will be happy. The second will be upset and confused and his plans will often miscarry. Once attaining a ripe old age, the Monkey will increasingly enjoy a simple, everyday life. The Exciting Monkey Monkeys are clever, social, witty people and these are the very qualities they will look for in their relationships with others. Being the gregarious sort, they normally have a wide circle of friends and acquaintances who provide them with the mental and social stimulation that is so important to the Monkey's well-being. But the natural curiosity and desire for new experiences that drives those born in this year mean that, all too often, serious long-term relationships simply don't provide enough excitement to maintain their interest. Monkeys revel in the thrill of the new; consequently, short-term love affairs tend to suit this group best. Unfortunately, the Monkey is unlikely to find a satisfactory lover, for he is not a stable personality. Though he can be passionate, his critical sense and his clear-sightedness combine to cool off his ardor all too quickly. Luckily his sense of humor saves him from disaster. Mischievous rascals particularly through their earlier years, they delight in stirring things up and then standing back to watch the sparks fly. If there's the slightest hint of danger, intrigue, or downright outrageous behavior attached, so much the better. In love no other sign produces more charming, amusing, and romantic companions than this one. Once a Monkey does decide to settle down in a permanent relationship he or she will make a splendidly stimulating partner. The Monkey's love life may tend to be complicated, but he or she will assume family responsibilities with equanimity and good humor. Whatever the sign of his marriage partner, the Monkey is likely to have a lot of children. The Monkey gets on splendidly with the Rat, Dog, Dragon and Boar. He is avoided by the Tiger, whom he is advised to treat with respect, and the Snake. September is the month of the Monkey. The time of the Monkey is from 3:00 p.m. to 4:59 p.m.; their direction of orientation is west-southwest. The Monkey's color is gold. |

Monkey Outlook for 2012-Chinese Astrology
1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004
Monkey Overview
12
out of 12 favorable months this year? That's right -- it's time for the
Monkey to shine! The spotlight and all the success that comes with it
are yours for the taking. All you need to do is simply go for it. You
can make good things happen in almost every area of your life. Since
it's a Water year, travel, education, networking and communication could
all turn out to be exceptional for you. Enroll in a course. Try
something new. Turn your biggest dream into your reality! But beware:
Sometimes the Dragon's schemes are so outlandish that crashing and
burning is the likeliest outcome. Can you exercise a little restraint?
Live on the edge ... but be careful about leaning too far over it.
Monkey Rating
76% (12 favorable and 0 unfavorable months)
Monkey Career
What
you set in motion last year is about to become bigger as you move into a
time of positive change. You've probably been working towards success
for some time now; however, big leaps will only turn into successes if
you take the first step and pick up momentum from there. You'll have to
be proactive about work this year. Have you been considering a big
career move? That resourceful nature of yours is your best asset right
now. Show a willingness to go big, but be calculating at the same time.
The Dragon loves drama, so be a team player. Finally, act wisely and in
the interest of your loved ones -- not just yourself.
Monkey Relationships
Cheers
to new beginnings! Last year you might have hit some relationship
roadblocks that left you feeling stuck and frustrated. Not so this year.
Expect to move full-speed ahead while preparing for a big shift in your
love life. The Dragon favors celebrations, so this may be the time to
start a family, get engaged or begin a lasting romance. Passion should
reign supreme, but don't get too carried away. Your greatest joys will
be found in day-to-day living, which, for you, could be more fulfilling
and satisfying than ever this year. There will be options to explore,
parties to attend and plenty of sparkle in your love life, so go for it!
Monkey Health
High
energy is virtually limitless for you this year! You should be able to
feed your curiosity with all kinds of new things, and your health is no
exception. You might pick up a new sport or embark on a journey of
better health. Whether it's going vegetarian or switching to strictly
green cleaning products, you'll want to consider becoming more conscious
of holistic living. Such awareness will serve you well during this very
busy year. Also, outdoor adventures will keep your spirits up and your
body strong. Since it's a Water year, consider swimming or kayaking as
another activity. Remind yourself that a healthy mind-body connection is
essential for success in all areas.
Monkey Wealth
Luck
should be with you a great deal this year, but you probably love
spending your money just as much as you love making it. Be careful you
don't jump the gun! Instead, see how things shake out first. A little
caution can go a long way this year. If you're thinking about big home
improvements or personal purchases, do your homework before committing
to something. It might be better to wait to see what appears down the
road. If you celebrate your successes modestly, it's very likely you'll
come out ahead.
I am the Monkey, and I'm looking forward to a Grand Year! Get your Chinese Astrology and see what animal sign you are.

The Power and Law of Attraction Part I
The Power and Law of Attraction Part I
"There is a supreme power and ruling force which pervades and rules the boundless universe. You are a part of this power." ~Prentice Mulford, a New Thought Author
Life is simple. Your life is made up of only two kinds of things....positive things and negative things. Each area of your life, whether it's your health, money, relationships, work or happiness, is either positive or negative to you.
In my case my health was negative. At the age of 17 I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Most of my life I have been heavy and at age 32 I went through Gastric Bypass Surgery and was also diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer and underwent the removal of a Total Thyroidectomy. People who know me often ask me how do I still have a smile on my face, how do I stay so positive, how do I have the outlook on life I have, how are you so strong, how do you laugh and enjoy what life has to offer?
The answer is simple: I didn't always have the outlook on life I have now and it was not easy to get there. I was transformed by watching the move "The Secret" and reading and re-reading the book "The Secret". The Secret reveals how Law of Attraction works. It took over a year and a half to actually grasp the concept of The Secret but once I did, things started changing for the positive in my life. Great things were happening, my health was improving and my doctors were absolutely amazed.
If you haven't heard of The Secret then I encourage you to buy the book or the movie. The Secret has been passed down through the ages, highly coveted, hidden, lost, stolen, and bought for vast sums of money. This centuries-old Secret has been understood by some of the most prominent people in history: Plato,, Galileo, Beethoven, Edison, Carnegie, Einstein -- along with other inventors, theologians, scientists, and great thinkers.
The Secret will teach you how you can have, be, or do anything you want. You will come to know who you really are. You will come to know the true magnificence that awaits you in life.
The Power is an extension of The Secret, but you don't have to read The Secret to read or understand The Power. Most people who have a great life don't realize exactly what it was that they did to get it. But they did do something. They used the power that is the cause of everything good in life.....
Without exception, every person who has a great life used love to achieve it. The power to have all the positive and good things in life is love!
Love has been talked about and written about since the beginning of time, in every religion, and by every great thinker, philospher, prophet, and leader. Love is the great est power in the universe.
Take a moment to think about it: What would the world be without love? First of all, you wouldn't even exist; without love you couldn't have been born. None of your family and friends would have been born either. In fact, there wouldn't be a single human being on the planet.
"Take away love and our earth is a tomb" ~Robert Browning, Poet
I started reading The Power today, and after reading through approximately the 15th chapter I now understand why I have the positive outlook I have today. It's because I learned to adapt to a new way of thinking. And what I was thinking and what I was feeling, is what I was putting out to the universe and thought thoughts and feelings is what the universe was bringing back to me, whether positive or negative.
In Part II I will talk more about Law of Attraction and how you can turn your situation around. Like I did mine. If you would like to be notified when I add to this series, be sure to sign up to my blog.
Thank you for reading. If you have any questions or comments, please post them below.
Have a blessed day!
