PERSONALITY
Not only have you been blessed with an excellent memory, but you also have natural intelligence which enables you to act accordingly for different situations. You are lively company, a convincing conversationalist and a good listener. In addition, people trust you with their secrets. You are popular so you lead an active social life. 
However, you are vengeful if someone should cross you. You certainly won't forget and your wily nature will wait for a good opportunity to get even. Sometimes your determination to get what you want may make you appear manipulative, so be careful that this does not ruin a friendship.
When someone needs help, you are open and willing to help. So the tender side of your nature is moved when you see someone in trouble.
You like to impress others and many are attracted to you because of your good looks, sense of humor and confidence. However, you can be easily distracted, and should concentrate on one thing at a time in order to achieve more in the long run.
People born in the year of the Monkey can be crafty, cunning, and sometimes dishonest. As a Monkey, you will take the opportunity to make a quick gain and outsmart your opponent. People do not know what you are up to until it is too late.
You are good in finances but because you enjoy the pleasures of life you are extravagant when it comes to spending money on travel or some form of luxury. Also, if you should spot a person with something that you long for, you become envious.
MARRIAGE
Good for matrimony with rat or dragon year people.
Avoid mating with rat, ox or dog year people.
COLOR: WHITE
The monkey is associated with the color white, which represents autumn and maturity. White also symbolizes purity, cleanliness, and freshness. Although white is worn by family members at funerals, the color is also related to good fortune and white birds especially, are a sign of good luck.
