Monkey people, on their merry way to becoming famous, like to strew memorable bits of impishness and practical jokes along
the way. Lots of fun, they also possess a serious side and influence a good many people throughout their lifetime. They know
how to accomplish the most difficult of tasks with the greatest of enthusiasm, concentration, and ease. Even so, they can
easily get discouraged and confused and MUST do things their way! They often become great mathematicians, super chess players,
researchers, entrepreneurs or scientists. And, great mentors! Monkeys have a burning passion for knowledge of every kind and
they magically are surrounded by the finer things in life. Life is a big adventure!
YOUR ELEMENT
Those of you born on July 19, 1968, you fall under the influence of the Chinese astrology element of Earth. You are wise,
serene and prudent, firmly rooted in your morals, ethics and responsibilities. Led by logic rather than emotion, you seek
to plan your life as far out in advance as possible, to expect the unexpected and control your destiny down to the last detail.
Your disciplined reserve -- which can come across as true grace if you work it right -- garners you respect and admiration.
Optimistic always, nothing will keep the Earth Monkey down for long. They are self starters, both personally and in business.
They don't like to work for others and always find opportunities to do it their way, solo. Their entrepreneurial spirit creates
very successful business undertakings. They are very shrewd and avoid common pitfalls encountered by others. They possess
enormous strengths which lead to a growing reputation for excellence, among them frankness, honesty, dependability and reliability.
They sincerely care about others and are very attractive to the opposite sex, particularly the male. The female Earth Monkey
needs to be aware of making mountains out of molehills with their constant worry, otherwise they will destroy budding relationships
quicker than a wink. Their optimism usually comes to the rescue, however, because problems today, well, there's always tomorrow
to make it right
An Earth Monky quietly demands admiration and appreciation for his talents and services, and when this is not forthcoming,
he can sulk and become insolent. Generally, you are honest and straightforward and will achieve distinction through his thoroughness
and devotion to duty.
The Earth Monkey will not be too fond of entertaining unless it is a necessity, but will be genuinely kind and loving to those
you care for. Less concerned about ego, you devote yourself unselfishly to the good of all. You value your integrity and
can even be over-conscientious about operating only within the law.
You're so bound by logic and dependent upon controlling your situation that you have a fear of the unknown. Consequently,
you question your instincts, distrusting even your most cherished dreams and seeing your whims as frivolous distractions.
Don't be a stick in the mud, Earth Signs; share your wisdom and your peace of mind with a needy world.
Disciplined Earth Signs are willing to work hard for what they want. Are you following your destined path?
MONKEY'S OVERVIEW FOR YEAR OF THE ROOSTER
The Monkey always considers life to be a comedy rather than a tragedy, and this saves them from pessimism and discouragement.
They will therefore enjoy themselves this year, and do many frivolous things, but will always keep a certain sense of balance.
Moreover, they will study philosophers, particularly those who know how to make fun of philosophy, such as Montaigne and Pascal.
If they continue on this path, they will have many chances to spend the year profitably. Beware, however! They should not
continue to believe that all people are foolish except for themselves: 'It's great folly to want to be wise all alone,' as
La Rochefoucauld said!
EARTH MONKEY OVERVIEW FOR YEAR OF THE ROOSTER
You will need to be bold this year! The obstacles that you'll meet will toughen you up. They'll allow you to see life under
a different angle. You'll discover your true values again. Thus, in love, you can give your couple a new lease on life. In
work, you'll strengthen your position.
MONKEY'S LOVE FORECAST FOR YEAR OF THE ROOSTER
First quarter
In January, the stars present you with some challenges. Some natives will notice that their mate is swimming in rough waters.
You must then accept the situation with calm and resignation, avoiding inopportune and useless scenes. But as early as February,
you'll profit from very good amorous prospects. Your ties will strengthen. As for single natives, flirtations will be numerous,
and encounters will take place in an unusual manner and in unexpected places.
Second quarter
Love at first sight might befall you during April. In any case, amorous happiness will come within your reach. Don't be so
unmindful that you miss the boat and have to regret it. Be aware that 'Once lost, Jupiter himself cannot bring back opportunity'
as Phaedrus said. During these months, you'll set your own limits and won't listen to another's outmoded ideas. From now on
you'll lead your love life as you like. Your mate will be irresistible at the beginning of June. As for single natives, this
period will prove stimulating; new encounters will bring about much joy of living, and the relationships will be marked with
sentimentality and dreams.
Third quarter
Your appetite for enjoyment will be intensified in the course of this period. You'll appreciate pleasures of all kinds, most
particularly the amorous ones. Happy encounters will probably take place during these months. As for married couples, emotions
will be stronger and more profound. By the beginning of September, your heart will be restless, though. You'll be craving
a change of pace. Talk about this with your beloved one: they will in all likelihood be disposed to cooperate with you in
order to find an ideal solution to your problem.
Fourth quarter
Your sentimental situation will stabilize and improve from the beginning of this period. You'll be looking for a mate with
whom there'll exist good understanding and complicity. However, don't forget that your need for independence and freedom will
be increased at the same time. By the end of December, you'll be dreaming of a perfect mate, but don't dream of one so perfect
that it's improbable you'll meet them, however. Please get down to earth: you'll see that the charm of mortals can be equal
to that of the angels of your dreams.
