Monkey business: what traits are associated most often with this year’s zodiac animal?
There’s always a boost in birth rates for the Year of the Monkey, a sign that’s considered charming and streetwise
Twelve-year-old Lareyna Chan is, astrologically speaking, a little monkey. She has much in common with a number of celebrities born in the Year of the Monkey and known for their charm and cheerfulness, such as young tycoon Lau Ming-wai, top model Lynn Xiong Dailin and Hollywood star Lucy Liu.
Feng shui master Yun Wenzi says people born in the Year of the Monkey are generally vivacious, energetic, gregarious, eloquent and streetwise.
The monkey is the ninth creature in the 12-year Chinese zodiac cycle.

“Look at how monkeys live and stay together. So people belonging to that sign of the zodiac are very sociable. They are loved and surrounded by friends and family members,” Yun says.
“I say they are streetwise because we all know monkeys are very good at imitating others and they learn quickly.” But she cautions that young children who have a knack for imitating others can also easily pick up bad habits from their parents.
Therefore, parents with children born in the Year of the Monkey should always watch their behaviour and use of language at home so they will be a good role model, she says.
