So you were born in the Year Of The Monkey. Well, lucky you. Monkey people are a lot of fun. Usually they have the other person "by the tail" more often than not. Yes, they are full of it, and the IT is mostly humor and humorous. Now those who appreciate humor, will certainly be drawn to the Monkey. They are the one sign bent on utilizing it and do so with a high degree of intelligence. This is most certainly true about the Monkey and his/her high jinx behavior. Problems are puzzles to be solved, and Monkeys are up to the challenge. This makes them good to have as friends and also helps them to make their lives work.

Of course it may mean making their relationships with partners or others rather nebulous or at time even perilous. Yes, these people are able to influence people and are acutely intelligent.
