2016 marks, not only the year of the Monkey, but specifically the Fire Monkey. It 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. The main drive for whatever he embarks on is to head straight for the top and stay there. Though ambitious, he is also nurturing with very good people skills
With his Fire energy, this agile, impulsive Monkey often leaps where angels fear to tread. This reckless behavior 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. 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.
The Fire Monkey’s aggression needs to be channeled correctly to correct and positive directions, or he risks becoming 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.
