Yang Red Fire Monkey

Monday February 08 2016 - Friday January 27 2017



"I entertain"

I am the seasoned traveler
of the Labyrinth.
The genius of alacrity,
Wizard of the impossible;
my brilliance is yet unmatched
in its originality.
My heart's filled with potent magic
that could cast a hundred spells.
I am put together
for mine own pleasure.

I Am the Monkey

This cheeky animal bursts with exuberance, bringing a lightening fast pace and fantastical motivation. The Monkey increases communication, humor and wit, helping us get through stressful times with grace and ease. Business flourishes and risks tend to pan out. The Monkey’s gift is the ability to find unconventional solutions to old problems. Daring to be different can lead to success.

I'm a strong yin Water Rabbit. According to geomacy. My luck in 2016: will do exceptionally well this year. Best.

Fire shapes Metal, but can also be a destructive force.
2016 is ruled by the number Nine (9). Nine is the Universal Number of 2016 (2+0+1+6) and the Monkey is the ninth sign of the Chinese zodiac. Nine can be an extremely lucky number, or quite unlucky, depending on its circumstances, function and placement.

The Year of the Monkey, 2016, in the Hsia calendar, is symbolized by two elements – with Yang fire sitting on top of metal. According to the cycle of birth and destruction, which governs the inter relationship between the elements, Fire conquers metal and so they are on the destructive cycle and have fighting relationship. Normally such conflicting elements means disharmony. In particular Yang Fire symbolizes a straight-forward and quick temper person more ready to explode. So there will be international conflicts and clashes. However, it seems such conflicts may not be very violent and yang fire sitting on Monkey is also symbol of the “Setting Sun” as Monkey is metal representing the west. So the yang fire is comparatively mild. Also yang fire people is known to lose temper quickly but is honest and open at heart. So conflicts can be more easily resolved with compromise and concessions when the heat is cooling down after sun set. With such character of yang fire, I can expect 2016 will be comparatively less violent than 2014 and 2015 when the yang wood is a stubborn tree standing by its principles and refuses to bend. Also yang fire being the sun always brings optimism and warmth. As such, it will be easier to reach agreements and treaties to resolve conflicts and struggles.

The Fire Monkey – 1956, 2016
The Fire Monkey is the most active and aggressive of the Monkeys. Naturally dominant, he automatically gravitates towards leadership roles and is competitive in whatever he is doing. He will need to be careful not to let this overwhelm him and turn into toxic jealousy.
He also constantly strives to be in control of whatever situation he is in, which can become overbearing. The main drive for whatever he embarks on is to head straight for the top and stay there. However, when he is in charge of a situation, his people skills kick in and he does nurture those under his charge who need it.
With his Fire energy, this agile, impulsive Monkey often leaps where angels fear to tread. This reckless behaviour sometimes turns out to not be to the Fire Monkey’s advantage. However, he is very creative, dynamic and has a particularly good talent at drawing people to him – this often helps him get out of scrapes. He’ll leap from tree to tree – whichever has the most fruit at the time – then find the quickest, cleverest escape before others get to him.
In general though, the Fire Monkey is flamboyant and charmingly friendly, and has a large social circle.

Life Lessons:
The Fire Monkey’s aggression needs to be channeled correctly to correct and positive directions, or he risks become very destructive and harmful. If the Fire Monkey could develop more patience, it would be good for him and those who work with him The Fire Monkey also needs to think through his ideas before acting on them in order to safeguard his own interests.

Although the Ox usually manages to maintain his/her neutrality in conflict situations, 2016 forces Oxes to adopt firm positions, sometimes at the risk of disappointing part of their entourage and jeopardizing some of their projects. Oxes consequently risk being confronted with conflict situations from which they may escape only by getting out of their legendary calm.

In love as in business, better for the Ox to wait for a better year before considering new relationships. 2016 is average for Oxes, and their prudence only can allow them to retain their previous gains. People born in the Year of the Ox should rather focus on studies and training in the course of the year.

The cycle looks like this:

Creation:

From Metal we receive Water. From Water we receive Wood. From Wood we receive Fire. From Fire we receive Earth. From Earth we receive Metal.

Control:

Metal (in the form of a container) holds Water. Water (as a nourishing element), helps to grows Wood. Wood is burnt to create Fire. Fire burns every other element down into Earth (ash). Metal is extracted from the Earth.

Destruction:

Fire melts Metal into liquid. Water extinguishes a Fire. Earth absorbs and directs the flow of Water. Wood (as roots of a tree) holds the Earth together or breaks it apart. Metal, as axes, cuts down trees into Wood.

Chinese horoscope of Fire Monkey 1956, 2016
Stubbornness and willfulness are the main characteristics of a Fire Monkey, as horoscope says. These people are overfilled with life energy and are very curious to the world, but they are not disposed to dissipate their energies. They have a range of interests and a huge circle of acquaintances to be able to chose only one thing. A Fire Monkey can be so interested in something as she can forget about other more important and advantageous things. After some time she will regret about it, her fire burns not so long. Vivid and restless personality of people born in a year of Fire Monkey attract others to them as people become intrigued by such an interesting person. But often supporters of a Fire Monkey, as her horoscope says, are disappointed because she doesn’t handle anything that happens not according to her plan. She can pressurize people during these situations and nobody likes it.

When Water is your Lucky Element, then 2016 is a good year to you. Monkey of 2016 contains Metal and Water. Metal is the mother element of Water. That means both Metal and Water are good for your birth chart. Metal is strong in the fall and Water is strong in the winter. Fire of 2016 is not strong because Monkey contains Water. The first half of 2016 will be fair. Your fortune will take off after summer.

It'll be a great year

eh, I had a dog-Pisces friend who got a carrier jump right at the beginning of this year.

sweetest language of all: Spanish

Can't wait until the good shite happens. I need it. ?
