The year of the Monkey 2016
The first outlook

On February 8 the extremely clever and radical Monkey will start playing his wild and challenging game and everyone is going to feel challenged in a year, in which fast, fearless and fast moves will become mandatory.

In fact all those, who were born in a year of the Monkey are smart enough, to climb up into the highest trees and they are also able to jump and land softly.

And in 2016 anyone with ambitions or under pressure will be requested to come up with similar skills, for which perfect timing, cleverness and courage will become vital.

Obviously all of those sign groups, that tend to be more static and conservative will see the biggest obstacles, while all those Monkey and Rat year born will feel extremely inspired by plenty of action and regular turmoil.

 

Back in the year 2004 it was in particular "Rat" Mark Zuckerberg, who had jumped into the billionaires group with his facebook debut.

But also the Goats and the cool Pigs are likely to see some tremendous options as long as they stay calm and toast.

Goats are able to climb the highest mountains while the clever Pigs will stay down and sort things out thanks to their superb adaptability.

Furthermore the wise Snakes are well equipped with their precision and observation and flexible bending skills.
