If you are born in 1920, 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016 you are a MONKEY accordng to Chinese Zodiac.
You are a very intelligent and a very clever wit. Because of your extraordinary nature and magnetic personality, you are always well-liked. The Monkey, however, must guard against being an opportunist and distrustful of other people. Your sign promises success in any field you try.

The spunky Monkey is the original party animal! Charming and energetic, Monkeys crave fun, activity and stimulation. They truly know how to have a good time and can often be seen swinging from one group of friends to another, attracting a motley crew in the process. Always upbeat, they are considered minor celebrities in their circle thanks to their sparkling wit and that rapier-sharp mind. Perhaps surprisingly, Monkeys are also good listeners and tackle complicated situations with ease. This Sign's natural curiosity lends it the desire to become knowledgeable on a broad range of topics. Monkeys have a show-off side that loves nothing more than to dazzle their pals with all they know.
The Monkey tends to be rather accident-prone due to a certain lack of very high morals. This Sign's first interest is pursuing its own pleasure; this is not a malicious interest, it's just the way the Monkey is. However, this kind of carefree self-involvement can lead to all kinds of scrapes. In love, the Monkey makes a fun, exciting lover -- but one that may have the potential to stray romantically. The good news is, the Monkey’s glib manner and witty repartee can often get this Sign out of a scrape. Perhaps not everyone will be won over by the Monkey -- but do you think the Monkey really cares? The Monkey's world, full of devil-may-care 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. Monkeys often feel the need to try everything at least once, which can make for a merry-go-round of relationships.
The Monkey's love of self-indulgence can also lead to other types of trouble. This Sign may have limited self-control concerning food, alcohol and other pleasurable activities. It's party time all the time for the Monkey, yet when it leads to a monster hangover or a shattered heart (generally someone else's, not theirs), this Sign might actually show a touch of remorse. They won't flat-out admit the error of their ways, but at least they'll pull back and try to tone things down -- for a while.
Monkeys must try to learn to think of others ahead of themselves, at least some of the time. This Sign's world will be more complete once it realizes the world doesn't revolve around it.
The most compatible match for a Monkey is the Rat or the Dragon.
Wow! I got this fromhttp://chinese.astrology.com/monkey.html and it couldn't be further from the truth! I'm very picky with the friends I keep, I spend my every waking hour trying to maintain peace and harmony not only in my life, but everyone around me as well, I'm very graceful (as in not clutsy), I always think of others first (when I know sometimes I shouldn't!) If I make a mistake, I'm not afraid to admit it. Wow! How upsetting this is!
Here is another one:
The Monkey is the ninth Sign of the Chinese Zodiac, and is a Yang Sign associated with the Metal Element. Recent Monkey years have been 1956, 1968, 1980, and 1992 -- the next Monkey year will occur in 2004. Monkey personalities are highly competitive and insatiably curious, with an intelligence and imagination that will allow them to make the best of any situation in which they find themselves.
They are very quick and sharp in speech, and never at a loss for words, although they may sometimes bend their words to serve questionable ends. Although Monkeys are essentially schemers and skilled at manipulating others, they are not entirely bereft of a sense of responsibility and will use these skills judiciously.

The first paragraph is closer to the truth and the first part of the second paragraph, (quck and sharp in speech, never at a loss for words).
It's funny how many different descriptions there are!

Here's detailed info from the site I personally find to be the best (http://www.asiaflash.com/rao/), psychological makeup, productive capabilities and love behaviour for the monkey male:
His psychological makeup
It is never easy to make a good snapshot of the Monkey man's psychological fabric. The difficulty does not reside in some kind of unpredictability as is the case with the Goat male - he is perfectly foreseeable - but in his innumerable, inextricable paradoxes and contradictions. This is a highly complex personality who, however, displays all appearances of simplicity. While essentially cerebral, moved by his head, he reacts almost exclusively with his heart - whence his incredible incoherence. Photographing the Goat, so to speak, astrologers are confronted with the problem of ever-changing lighting conditions; but when they do the Monkey, a careful dosage of the contrasting colors should be exercised so that neither the lights nor the shades are given undue emphasis.
Perhaps this subject's only characteristic which does not bear an internal contradiction is his extreme independence. Under no circumstance does he accept to forgo his insistence on being his own master. He abhors any limitation on his freedom of thought or action: He must be the wind, or he will die!
The Monkey man is one - most probably the only one - who zealously spends his whole existence blasting old customs and outdated ideas as well as battling against retrograde minds. His nonconformism is in all appearance total and uncompromising. Progressive-minded, he acts as if he were born with the mission to being change into the world. Conventional marriage tanks high on the list of his targets as he considers it an old-fashioned institution responsible for many perfectly avoidable evils. But all the while he wants the universe and everyone around him to change, he tends to cling to his own basic attitude - it is perhaps not because of his inability to modify his stands but because of his self-righteousness. Moreover, he seems to hold some respect for his elders. We are putting our finger here on one of his countless inconsistencies, which are quite understandable to us once we have been informed of his incongruousness.
This individual's nonconformism naturally conduces to his originality. He only wants to think and act in his own way, according to his own penchant, completely off beaten tracks of every description. Not vitally concerned with his own image - he could not care less about the opinions of others - he delights in shocking people by his singular manner of speech and outlandish behavior. To many, he appears just plain wacky; to others, his excessive individuality - say, his eccentricity - is a subject of either amusement or irritation. In any case, everyone finds him mystifying because of his exaggerated love of utopia, his unbelievable lack of realism and practicality. On the contrary, the idiosyncrasies of people he meets, however weird they may be, never surprise or trouble him because he takes them completely for granted. However, under the facade of his defying oddity and strangeness, there do exist some familiar shadows. For instance, being very young in spirit, he thinks it is unworthy to worry about money and likes to make fun heartily of penny-pinchers; yet he may from time to time surprise himself in the process of counting and calculating! One thing is certain: One never gets bored in his company.
Few people would equal him in intellectual curiosity. Fired with an unquenchable desire for knowledge, he deems everything good to know, including the most unpleasant truths. He is particularly enthusiastic about all things new or unorthodox, refusing to place them under any kind of moral or religious scrutiny - no doubt many heretics burned by the Inquisition were Monkeys. He loves to be the first one to hit upon some idea, to do something, to embark on some practice, even if this may mean that he will get scorched in the process.
The Monkey man is aided in his perpetual quest for novelty by his many relevant qualities. He has enough humility to be willing to learn from all those who have something interesting to tell or teach him. His natural ability to be detached and unemotional helps him keep his already sharp mind always open to anything, while his breadth of vision protects him from being a sterile hair-splitter. Last but not least, he has no bias whatsoever against women - one would have difficulty finding a trace of misogyny in this man, who readily bows to females if these have something to interest him with. Unfortunately, there are quite a few shadows scattered throughout the sunlight. For example, the native of the Monkey cannot help putting his nose into the affairs of other people, thereby tightly earning the reputation of being a professional meddler. He cannot either help trying overexplain everything he knows to his fellow men and women, even against their wishes, because he feels that everyone is more or less dumb while the only smart person on earth is he himself. It is impossible for a casual observer to understand why this man, who is a keen student of human behavior and can predict the outcome of actions and situations with outstanding accuracy, can at times display so surprising credulity and naiveté.
Routine in any form is death to this man as he considers life meaningless without variety and unexpected events. He adores surprises of every kind - a bad surprise is to his eyes even better than no surprise at all - and can adapt himself effortlessly to any situation which may arise. It is why he is constantly on the lookout for new adventures. He could perfectly slam the door against his boss or throw up a good job on the spur of the moment without any regard for possible consequences. Indifferent to riches as well as poverty, he has a passion for gambling; he also likes to put his material security in danger from time to time with a view to forcing himself to struggle of resist the temptation of "bourgeois" well-being. His deliberate, systematic search for new, unforeseen situations stems from his unshakable belief that every experience is good to go through; even the worst tragedies happening to him cannot grieve him much because he looks on them as mere challenges, moreover convinced that misfortune contains seeds of happiness. No wonder why he never feels regret or self-pity; no wonder also why he resolutely turns his back to the past - to him, only tomorrow holds the greatest excitement.
What makes this individual a fascinating person is perhaps not his mind but his heart, which is blessed with some rare qualities. Fundamentally good-natured and kind, he is a humanitarian whose energies are directed toward the alleviation of all unhappiness and evil in this wicked world. He believes firmly in the universal brotherhood of man and detests frontiers of any kind. This is a real citizen of the world, at home in any country and at ease with people from every corner of the earth. True to his magnanimous and sociable nature, he accepts people effortlessly, enjoys their company, and is ready to consider everyone his friend, be the latter a king or a tramp, a minister or a pimp. His tolerance is equaled only by his helpfulness. But all such fine qualities can be somewhat altered by his "counter-qualities." This same soft-hearted native may at one time or another appear strangely distant and indifferent or, worse still, commit injustices and even acts of cruelty. While putting an extremely high value on human contacts, he also extols the virtues of solitude and seclusion. For all his magnanimity, he is not immune from touchiness and vindictiveness.
The typical Monkey man considers himself an honest, aboveboard person and can indeed substantiate his claim most of the time. He usually does his own thing without bothering to see whether society approves or not. He hates hypocrisy and underhandedness with every fiber of his being. Yet it would be inaccurate to affirm that he is a model of straightforwardness. First, if he has the ability to confess error, apologize, or accept criticism gracefully, he is not insensitive to flattery and adulation. Second, he has the deceptive habit of agreeing openly with others while rejecting their ideas in secret. Third, he respects law and authority only as far as his personal security requires it, not out of conviction of consideration for the next fellow. Fourth, his conscience is so elastic and can be so easily satisfied that he has few scruples and tends to make the end to justify the means in all cases. Fifth, he delights in fooling everybody and often uses his extraordinary ability to pull the wool over people's eyes.
What is the most likely to endear this character to many people lies in his exceptional capacity to see the funnier side of life. They practically never run the risk of spending dull moments with him. His great sense of humor very seldom fails him, even in adversity or the worst possible circumstances. Always playful and full of fun, he takes nothing seriously, showing a marked tendency toward removing revered things from their pedestals and laughing at his own person, his own defects and misfortunes. He always has a crowd of jokes and amusing anecdotes up his sleeve, which he distributes generously around him wherever he goes. Nevertheless, it would be a mistake to believe him to be a really light-hearted creature. More often than not his playfulness is used, perhaps unconsciously, to cover up his basic pessimism about human nature. It may be relevant to apply this sentence to his case: "I hasten to laugh about everything, for fear of feeling compelled to weep about it" (Beaumarchais).
The Monkey man's most precious characteristic is indisputably his well-developed common sense. Owing to it he almost never risks to stray far from the Golden Mean - it serves as a parapet to prevent him from indulging in excesses of either good or evil
His productive capacities
The male Monkey ranks among the most talented individuals as far as work capacities are concerned. And when it comes to versatility, he occupies an unchallenged position.
This man can succeed wonderfully in any and all professions if he is sufficiently interested in them. Here lies the basic fact about his abilities: They can be catalyzed exclusively by a keen interest, not by profit, glory, or other considerations. Once he has squeezed all the spice out of a given endeavor, he will simply drop it without regret and start to look for excitement elsewhere. It follows that he is definitely not the one to do well in any routine or repetitive job. Also, though he may enjoy group collaboration due to his natural gregariousness, he needs to be given plenty of rope or, better still, to be his own boss: Without the possibility of moving at his own erratic pace or changing professions whenever he fee1s like it, he would only prove a disheartened and worthless worker.
Given his shrewdness and adroitness as well as his love of independence, the average Monkey man is very good as a handyman or craftsman. His creations always bear the mark of both originality and practicality.
Although not overambitious, the native often finds himself entrusted with "noble" tasks. People seek him out for his discerning intelligence and the sharpness of his judgment. Gifted for brilliant studies - provided he accept the matters taught him - he sometimes covers himself, almost against his will, with an impressive array of diplomas, which naturally lands him in very high and responsible positions.
He is probably the most inventive man beside the Snake. The fields of science and research are therefore wide open to him. He can be a first-rate engineer or technician; he can equally distinguish himself in such disciplines as biology, physics, chemistry, medicine, sociology, or psychology, owing to his passion for theories and his power of vision. As only the future holds real interest to him, it is not rare that he makes himself known as an inventive genius in avant-garde techniques - electronics, space travels, computer science, and so on. Unfortunately, as he always lives ahead of his time, his theories, too revolutionary as they are, rarely fall on receptive ears. He does not care much about it, however, since he gives much more importance to ideas than facts, to projects than realizations. Politics, for this specific reason, should be out of question for him.
As already indicated, material gains are not a prime mover in the Monkey man's life. This observation is nevertheless not meant to mask his undeniable facility for making money, his amazing adroitness in financial deals. It is not impossible for this subject to earn a huge lot of money one day - but only to lose it the next day through gambling or just for the thrill of losing. In general, there is no such queer thing as an entrenched, "bourgeois" Monkey!
This man can fruitfully exploit his deep knowledge of human nature and his skill in human contacts in being a troubleshooter. People would be well-advised to appeal to him if they want to settle disputes or conduct negotiations to the satisfaction of all the parties concerned.
His unique sense of humor helps him be an exceptionally brilliant satirical writer or, at a more modest level, an extremely popular comic or clown.
Despite all their abilities and qualifications, many Monkey men only occupy a marginal place in society as a result of their uncompromising nonconformism and their dogged refusal to work up the ladder. This situation does not bother them in the least, for what really counts for them is that they belong to themselves.
His love behavior
It is in the field of love that the Monkey man's paradoxes and contradictions seem to be the most acute. People could rightfully wonder if he ever knows what he wants here. His love life would be less inextricable and happier if he could adopt a definite attitude instead of eternally wavering back and forth.
The root of his sentimental problems lies in his utter incapacity as well as categorical refusal to surrender even a small portion of his independence and personal freedom. On the other hand, his heart, like everybody else's, craves for love and abhors loneliness. With his exuberant character and gentle disposition, he falls in love very easily; yet it would be surprising to see one of his love affairs marked with a reasonable degree of stability.
One of the solutions he usually chooses consists of contenting himself with passing fancies, which, of course, cannot bring him entire satisfaction. He loves sincerely - at least this is what he believes - but will be quick to disengage himself as soon as the object of his love appears to have serious designs on him. It would be unjust to accuse him of fickleness, but his desire to avoid confinement in the institution of marriage is so strong that he treasures bachelorhood as much as he does his own eyesight. Though he can be passionate, his instinct for "self-preservation" rarely fails to intervene in time to cool off his ardor. Consequently, his life is often an endless string of separations and ruptures, which makes him complain bitterly that he never has good luck in love!
His second solution seems equally erratic. It involves love affairs with beautiful, glamorous women who should preferably be inaccessible for one reason or another. In this way he can give full rein to his heart and experience a whole range of thrilling emotions without running the risk of being caught. Married women, understandably, are his prized preys. Whether or not he wants to admit it, he wishes with all his forces to suffer from unrequited love!
His third solution represents an important compromise he may eventually be willing to conclude with reality. It consists of his settling down, on a basis of friendship and complicity, with a woman who should imperatively be intelligent, fun-loving, and fiercely independent-minded herself. This concession of his must be subordinated to the agreement, whether tacit or explicit, that neither party will ever pose as an obstacle of any sort to the other freedom - both partners must feel absolutely free to indulge in infidelity or walk away whenever the fancy takes them. As a rule this man always prefers free union to conventional marriage!
It may not be superfluous to repeat that, to the Monkey-male, there must always exist more friendship than "pure" love in any affair. A girl who projects to capture his heart would find her interest in being to him a companion first and a lover second.
There could hardly be anything he resents more than possessiveness. He will not hesitate to drop a girl the very moment she becomes possessive. In the same vein, he loathes the clinging type of woman. He himself believes jealousy is degrading and can remain perfectly unruffled should he be betrayed or when other men ogle his woman.
Once committed, he may show himself capable of fidelity as long as his personal freedom is not threatened. Although rarely lavish with sentimental demonstrations, he does care for his mate and give her sufficient proof of his affection and devotion. His kind and understanding disposition could heal many emotional wounds he may have unwittingly inflicted on her. As he has no prejudices against the female sex, she will find no reason to complain about his misogyny.
This man has a special predilection for mysterious women. A good way for his mate to retain his interest is never to unveil herself entirely.
This is not an authoritarian type of lover. He could not care less if his woman wears the trousers both in the home and in society.
His physical appetites are of the moderate variety for the precise reason that sex constitutes only one facet of his mercurial existence. This does not necessarily imply that he is incapable of sensuousness and charming little romantic idiosyncrasies. He enjoys giving pleasure as well as receiving it. Both foreplay and afterplay are as important to him as the copulatory act itself, for he considers sexual intercourse primarily as a game.
Despite all his affirmations to the contrary, he only feels lukewarm love for children and never appears enthusiastic about having a large family.

Although not overambitious, the native often finds himself entrusted with "noble" tasks. People seek him out for his discerning intelligence and the sharpness of his judgment. Gifted for brilliant studies - provided he accept the matters taught him - he sometimes covers himself, almost against his will, with an impressive array of diplomas, which naturally lands him in very high and responsible positions.
He is probably the most inventive man beside the Snake. The fields of science and research are therefore wide open to him. He can be a first-rate engineer or technician; he can equally distinguish himself in such disciplines as biology, physics, chemistry, medicine, sociology, or psychology, owing to his passion for theories and his power of vision. As only the future holds real interest to him, it is not rare that he makes himself known as an inventive genius in avant-garde techniques - electronics, space travels, computer science, and so on. Unfortunately, as he always lives ahead of his time, his theories, too revolutionary as they are, rarely fall on receptive ears. He does not care much about it, however, since he gives much more importance to ideas than facts, to projects than realizations. Politics, for this specific reason, should be out of question for him.
As already indicated, material gains are not a prime mover in the Monkey man's life. This observation is nevertheless not meant to mask his undeniable facility for making money, his amazing adroitness in financial deals. It is not impossible for this subject to earn a huge lot of money one day - but only to lose it the next day through gambling or just for the thrill of losing. In general, there is no such queer thing as an entrenched, "bourgeois" Monkey!
This man can fruitfully exploit his deep knowledge of human nature and his skill in human contacts in being a troubleshooter. People would be well-advised to appeal to him if they want to settle disputes or conduct negotiations to the satisfaction of all the parties concerned.
His unique sense of humor helps him be an exceptionally brilliant satirical writer or, at a more modest level, an extremely popular comic or clown.
Despite all their abilities and qualifications, many Monkey men only occupy a marginal place in society as a result of their uncompromising nonconformism and their dogged refusal to work up the ladder. This situation does not bother them in the least, for what really counts for them is that they belong to themselves.
His love behavior
It is in the field of love that the Monkey man's paradoxes and contradictions seem to be the most acute. People could rightfully wonder if he ever knows what he wants here. His love life would be less inextricable and happier if he could adopt a definite attitude instead of eternally wavering back and forth.
The root of his sentimental problems lies in his utter incapacity as well as categorical refusal to surrender even a small portion of his independence and personal freedom. On the other hand, his heart, like everybody else's, craves for love and abhors loneliness. With his exuberant character and gentle disposition, he falls in love very easily; yet it would be surprising to see one of his love affairs marked with a reasonable degree of stability.
One of the solutions he usually chooses consists of contenting himself with passing fancies, which, of course, cannot bring him entire satisfaction. He loves sincerely - at least this is what he believes - but will be quick to disengage himself as soon as the object of his love appears to have serious designs on him. It would be unjust to accuse him of fickleness, but his desire to avoid confinement in the institution of marriage is so strong that he treasures bachelorhood as much as he does his own eyesight. Though he can be passionate, his instinct for "self-preservation" rarely fails to intervene in time to cool off his ardor. Consequently, his life is often an endless string of separations and ruptures, which makes him complain bitterly that he never has good luck in love!
His second solution seems equally erratic. It involves love affairs with beautiful, glamorous women who should preferably be inaccessible for one reason or another. In this way he can give full rein to his heart and experience a whole range of thrilling emotions without running the risk of being caught. Married women, understandably, are his prized preys. Whether or not he wants to admit it, he wishes with all his forces to suffer from unrequited love!
His third solution represents an important compromise he may eventually be willing to conclude with reality. It consists of his settling down, on a basis of friendship and complicity, with a woman who should imperatively be intelligent, fun-loving, and fiercely independent-minded herself. This concession of his must be subordinated to the agreement, whether tacit or explicit, that neither party will ever pose as an obstacle of any sort to the other freedom - both partners must feel absolutely free to indulge in infidelity or walk away whenever the fancy takes them. As a rule this man always prefers free union to conventional marriage!
It may not be superfluous to repeat that, to the Monkey-male, there must always exist more friendship than "pure" love in any affair. A girl who projects to capture his heart would find her interest in being to him a companion first and a lover second.
There could hardly be anything he resents more than possessiveness. He will not hesitate to drop a girl the very moment she becomes possessive. In the same vein, he loathes the clinging type of woman. He himself believes jealousy is degrading and can remain perfectly unruffled should he be betrayed or when other men ogle his woman.
Once committed, he may show himself capable of fidelity as long as his personal freedom is not threatened. Although rarely lavish with sentimental demonstrations, he does care for his mate and give her sufficient proof of his affection and devotion. His kind and understanding disposition could heal many emotional wounds he may have unwittingly inflicted on her. As he has no prejudices against the female sex, she will find no reason to complain about his misogyny.
This man has a special predilection for mysterious women. A good way for his mate to retain his interest is never to unveil herself entirely.
This is not an authoritarian type of lover. He could not care less if his woman wears the trousers both in the home and in society.
His physical appetites are of the moderate variety for the precise reason that sex constitutes only one facet of his mercurial existence. This does not necessarily imply that he is incapable of sensuousness and charming little romantic idiosyncrasies. He enjoys giving pleasure as well as receiving it. Both foreplay and afterplay are as important to him as the copulatory act itself, for he considers sexual intercourse primarily as a game.
Despite all his affirmations to the contrary, he only feels lukewarm love for children and never appears enthusiastic about having a large family.
Monkey
Thanks for the website. It says I am a fire monkey. I don't know what that is, but I will read some more. That has got to be the longest description of Monkey I have ever seen. I will investigate the website to see what it says about female monkeys.
I thought that being a Monkey just meant I was charming and good-looking ! (ha)
