What Monkey people are like
Your mind moves fast and you're full of wit. Even a problem you've never seen before gets turned over from every angle until a solution appears. You're curious and love learning new things, and your sense of humor makes you popular everywhere. You can't stand boredom, so repeating the same task for long makes you lose interest. Playful remarks sometimes get misunderstood.
In love
You have a talent for planning fun dates. You love making your partner laugh and are drawn to someone you can talk with easily. Some people worry your feelings will cool quickly, yet for someone you truly care about, you keep finding new ways to bring joy.
Animals that fit well
-
Rat
Three Harmony
The witty Monkey and the sharp-eyed Rat are perfectly in tune when they talk. You also work well together, one coming up with ideas and the other carrying them out.
-
Dragon
Three Harmony
The Dragon's big picture plus the Monkey's wit makes things go smoothly. Being together is fun and brings results too.
-
Snake
Six Harmony, Punishment
Two clever signs work well together, but trying to teach each other creates tension. Trust the other's way of doing things and you become a steady pair.
Two of the same animal
-
Monkey
Same animal
Jokes and ideas never stop flowing when you meet. You both tire of things quickly, so keep finding new fun to share.
Animals that need some adjusting
-
Tiger
Clash, Punishment
The Tiger who pushes with force and the clever Monkey tend to collide head-on and keep telling each other what to do. Splitting roles instead of competing makes you a good team.
-
Rabbit
Resentment
A joke the Monkey meant for laughs can leave a sting for the sensitive Rabbit. Before teasing, check the other person's mood once more.
-
Pig
Harm
The Monkey's teasing or advice can land the wrong way with the gentle Pig. Say plainly that you mean to help, and misunderstandings shrink.
Neutral matches
With Ox, Horse, Goat, Rooster, Dog, there is no special pull or clash, so the distance feels comfortable.
One-line advice
See whether the two of you never run out of things to talk about. If you can laugh together, most differences are easy to get past.
