Monkey Presents: Chinese Zodiac Horoscope Animals

monkey author If you follow astrology like I do, you most likely know that Daily Chinese horoscopes involve 12 different animals, like the monkey. You determine your corresponding animal based on the year you were born. I am the monkey since I was born in....well we won't discuss that yet...

The Chinese New Year is on February 4th ever year and runs until February 3rd of the following year. It runs for a sixty year period which matches 1924-2043. It just so happens that 2008 is the year of the rat. Sorry to all you other monkeys out there!

Here's more about all the other Chinese Horoscope animals, so you can see just what your best & worst traits are!

    rat Rat (Birth years 1924, 1936, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 2008..) - Rats tend to be disciplined, systematic, charismatic, charming and hardworkers. But unfortunately rats are also manipulative, cruel, selfish and critical at times. They also can be found hanging out at select Taco Bell's or KFC's in New York.









    cartoon snake Snake (Birth years: 1929, 41, 53, 65, 77, 89, 2001..) - Snakes are deep thinkers who are wise, sensual, creative and ambitious. They are also cautious, bad communicators who tend to be self-doubting loners.









    Monkey (Birth years: 1932, 44, 56, 68, 80, 92, 2004...) - They say I'm an inventor, a motivator & an improviser who has a quick wit and problem solving ability. Even though I have all these great things, they say I can be egotistical, vain and cunning...The nerve!










    Rabbit (Birth years: 1927, 39, 51, 63, 75, 87, 99, 2001..) - They are gracious, kind, sensitive, soft spoken reserved and artistic. Their flaws are they can be superficial, self-indulgent, lazy and moody, often detached in nature.









    cartoon sheep Sheep (Birth years: 1931, 43, 55, 67, 79, 91, 2003..) - The sheep are righteous, sincere, sympathetic, mild-mannered and understanding. On their downside, they are moody, over-sensitive, complainers who are indecisive and over-passive.









    Dragon (Birth years: 1928, 40, 52, 64, 76, 88, 2000..) - The dragon types are magnanimous, stately, strong, self-assured and proud. Their downfalls are that they are often arrogant, tyrannical, eccentric, prejudiced and demanding. They also are scary and breathe fire...









    cartoon tiger Tiger (Birth years: 1926, 38, 50, 62, 74, 86, 98, 2010...) - If you're the tiger, you are unpredictable, rebellious, colorful, powerful, impulsive and an affectionate, generous humanitarian. You also may be quick-tempered, selfish, impatient and reckless.









    Ox (Birth years: 1925, 37, 49, 61, 73, 85, 97, 2009..) - The ox of the world are dependable, calm, patient hardworkers. They are also stubborn, narrow-minded and demanding at times.

    cartoon pig Boar or Pig (Birth years: 1935, 47, 59, 71, 83, 95, 2007..) - Are you a boar? If so you tend to be honest and simple, love peace, are sociable, gallant, patient and hard-working. You may also be naive, self-indulgent, gullible and materialistic.









    dog cartoon Dog (Birth years: 1934, 46, 58, 70, 82, 94, 2006..) - If you're a dog you are honest, intelligent, loyal, attractive and have a sense of justice and fair play. Unfortunately you also can be lazy, cold, judgmental, pessimistic and quarrelsome.










    Horse (Birth years: 1930, 43, 55, 67, 79, 91, 2003..) - The horse tends to be cheerful, quick-witted, popular, mentally agile. On the downside they can be talkative, fickle, rude, and stubborn!




I always try my best to watch out for the snakes & dragons out there...I'm also pretty sure that there's Beanie Babies to represent each of the above animals, and maybe even Webkinz! So which animal are you and do the traits fit your personality?!?

I won't get into too much more of this, but there's also animals that correspond by month born (inner animals) and animals based on the hours of the day born (secret animals). Read more info about the Chinese Zodiac at Wikipedia.org.

One final note: According to the legend, Monkeys are also power signs capable of doing great good or great evil, so watch out!

Monkey Wrench by Foo Fighters Lyrics


One of the most useful tools around is the very valuable monkey wrench. It can be used so many ways to screw up someone's efforts. This crazy monkey has several of these wrenches on hand for repairs, or other crazy fun! I also enjoy the rock band, Foo Fighters and their song which talks all about it! Here's the lyrics for Monkey Wrench and where to find it!

Monkey Wrench by Foo Fighters

What have we done with innocence
It disappeared with time, it never made much sense
Adolescent Resident
Wasting another night on planning my revenge...

One in ten
One in ten
One in ten

Don't want to be your monkey wrench.
One more indecent accident,
I'd rather leave than suffer this.
I'll never be your monkey wrench.

All this time to make amends.
What do you do when all your enemies are friends.
Now and then I'll try to bend,
Under pressure wind up snapping in the end.

One in ten
One in ten
One in ten

Don't want to be your monkey wrench.
One more indecent accident.
I'd rather leave than suffer this,
I'll never be your monkey wrench.

Temper
Temper
Temper

One last thing before I quit
I never wanted any more than I could fit
Into my head I still remember every single word
You said and all the shit that somehow came along with it
Still there's one thing that comforts me since I was
Always caged and now I'm free

Don't want to be your monkey wrench
One more indecent accident
I'd rather leave than suffer this
I'll never be your monkey wrench

Don't want to be your monkey wrench (fall in, fall out)
Don't want to be your monkey wrench (fall in, fall out)
Don't want to be your monkey wrench (fall in, fall out)
Don't want to be your monkey wrench

It's the Year of the Rat in 2008!

the rat year Happy Chinese New Year you Crazy Monkey fans! As you may or may not know, 2008 is the year of the rat. The rats have been trying hard to take over everywhere from the White House to Taco Bell and Pizza Hut! Now in 2008, they have finally succeeded!

The good thing is that according to Chinese Horoscope 2008, I'm compatibile with these rats!

"Rats enjoy being on the outside looking in, as the outside affords a view into the inner workings of a system or situation. The Rat's keen mind always seeks out new knowledge, to be stored away for future use. This ever-curious Sign also welcomes challenges as a way to stay sharp. If boredom sets in the Rat is no fun at all, but that isn't likely; this Sign knows how to keep itself entertained.

A valuable lesson for Rats is to learn to consider others above themselves, at least sometimes. If they can develop their sense of self and realize it leaves room for others in their life as well, Rats could find true happiness.

The most compatible match for a Rat is the Dragon or the Monkey."
