Monkey

The monkey is a sun sign often associated with feelings of free will, spontaneity, love sickness, and abandon. Like the animal’s character it gets its namesake from, this sun sign is known for both its playfulness as well as the more negative connotations, like wildness and fickleness. Monkeys are often creative and energetic people, being outgoing and making friends easily. However, they can also clash easily with signs that are more reserved and introspective, seeming to crave attention and approval to those critical of them.

Monkey Characteristics

May 21 through June 20 are the dates for the monkey sun sign. Monkeys are generally drawn to creative pursuits and things that require a high level of energy and social interaction. Not exactly the quiet artistic types, they are more prone to organizing large parties, decorating, and coming up with large ambitious plans. Monkeys tend to have magnetic personalities, allowing others to feed off of their enthusiasm and vigor. Monkeys can be annoying to other more stable signs, and are prone to changing their minds often. This can make them very open minded to new ideas, but also scatter brained when trying to focus their attention on one task.

Love: Monkeys can often be fickle romantic partners, jumping from relationship to relationship, getting bored easily, and hurting other people in the process. Monkeys will want to go out and show their loved ones to their friends often, but beware losing their attention. Monkeys are notorious for flirting, even if they think it is purely innocent. For those with a sturdy sense of relationship and self-esteem, the monkey can be a great fit as a lover.

Finance: Monkeys are big spenders, even when they don’t have the funds to do so. Monkeys love making a show and presenting themselves as being more lucrative than they may actually be. This is often to the bane of those associated with monkeys who are left to pick up the tab and repair the damages in the wake of their ego-induced storm.

Career: Monkeys need a job that challenges them and allows them to think outside of the box. Careers in marketing, interior design, architecture, graphic design, and promotions are all a good fit for a monkey. Since they lose interest in things easily, monkeys will be drawn toward activities in the work environment that present new situations and hurdles to overcome consistently. Monkeys will also tend to seek work in areas they are naturally gifted in, forgoing anything that requires a long time to master.

Compatible Signs: Monkeys will go well with signs that can be subservient to their energy and demand for attention. If you are a monkey, try dating a dragon or tiger. Beware the goat and boar, who will find your antics trivial and attention-seeking behavior tedious.
