Some information relating to the Year of the Fire Monkey 2016, that according to many articles I’ve read starts 8th February 2016, although occasionally information relating to this can vary a little, but the details I’ve shown below outline the overall influence for this year, then the following paragraphs how this affects each Chinese Sign.

GENERAL INFLUENCES

In many ways the Year of the Monkey, is considered to be a time of surprises, so we should ‘expect the unexpected’, when anything can happen, whether it is positive or negative. It’s not necessarily an easy time to make big plans, and also indicates a need to ‘go with the flow’ adapt, and put in a lot of personal effort to achieve goals, whether personal or affecting many people. Progress is possible for many this year, but also feelings of insecurity at times too, with a need for better deals & financial gains, on a much larger scale. Fine, but a sense of proportion is important too, & needs to be balanced with a realistic look at situations, to overcome problems than may arise. Key elements influencing many will be better communications with those around us, a sense of humour to deal with stress, and a much faster pace of life, and in many respects, more motivation, and imagination, perhaps enabling a different approach to be tried, to look at problems in more abstract ways, and for some to take some risks, that if calculated can be successful. This is also a year of both positive and negative influences in many ways, and this can often mean that some people try to get one step ahead of others, in more ways than one. There’s a need to try to remain honest and beware deception, and when needs be perhaps ‘look beneath the surface’ of some people’s motivations, if these cause problems. As I’ve previously mentioned for some people stress levels may rise more than usual at times, so finding positive outlets is important to avoid burnout.
Individualistic goals and pursuits come to the fore this year, and a sense of adventure prevails, and if balanced by a realistic approach, towards personal dreams and goals, the outcome can be very positive. Many people they can now progress personally, especially if they’ve felt limited in their life by circumstances in recent years. Even steps such as Further Education courses, seminars, or events relating to potential interests, or just catching your attention, possibly in something you hadn’t considered learning before, can help your psychological expansion, So finding ways to seek, come up with, and embrace new ideas is helpful, to express our individuality, with for some a need for courage, taking a chance or ‘calculated’ risks may prove beneficial, provided there’s also awareness of opportunist people, who may be out for all they can get, so trying to investing everything on a promise, can help to avoid losing everything, but remain away of potential opportunities too! In other words – Seek progress but also keep your wits about you too!!
