Monkey

The spunky Monkey is one heck of a party animal! Charming and energetic, Monkeys crave fun, activity and a mighty good time. They can often be seen swinging from one group of friends to another, attracting a motley crew in the process. Forever upbeat, they are considered minor celebrities in their circle, thanks to their sparkling wit and a quick mind. They are also good listeners and tackle complicated situations with ease. The natural curiosity which Monkeys possess leads them to become knowledgeable on a broad range of topics. The showoff in them loves nothing more than to dazzle their pals with all they know. The flip side of all this is that rebellious Monkeys don't always have a firm grasp on right and wrong. Their own happiness is their primary goal, and let the chips fall where they may. This approach will work some of the time, thanks to the Monkey's glib manner and witty repartee. It's not likely that everyone will be won over by the Monkey, though but do you think the Monkey really cares? Be it idle gossip or brazen infidelity, the Monkey's world isn't for everyone. That said, it's not that they're ogres they may just be a bit too curious for their own good, feeling a need to try everything once. This can make for a merry-go-round of relationships. The sense of fun which is second-nature to Monkeys can get them in all sorts of trouble. This self-indulgent ball of fire has limited self-control where food, alcohol and other pleasurable activities are concerned. It's party time all the time for the Monkey, yet when it leads to a monster hangover or a shattered heart (someone else's, not theirs), they might actually show a touch of remorse. They won't flat-out admit the error of their ways, but at least they won't lay an even bigger egg. Monkeys would be well-served to think of others ahead of themselves, at least some of the time. If they realized the world didn't revolve around them, their world would be more complete. Go for it, Monkey! The most compatible match for a monkey is the rat or dragon.
