Gong Hei Fat Choy! Better late than never. How is everyone? Did yall survive whatever? Oh my, January was crazy. So, Happy Chinese New Year, the Year of the Fire Monkey. I love this self portrait by Frida, with one of her pet monkeys, a fixture in her work. I just started a condensed version of Brit Lit to make up for the needed class, cancelled by my school, and have a Geography exam on Wednesday. So I am going to share with you a bit from others on the Fire Monkey.
2016 Year of the Fire Monkey
By Tanaaz
On February 8, 2016 we will shift out of the year of the nurturing Yin Wood Sheep and into the year of the passionate Yang Fire Monkey.
As the name suggests, the year of the Yang Fire Monkey is all about having fun, taking risks, being proactive and going after what you truly desire.
Yang energy is action based energy, so 2016 will really favor making bold decisions, getting ahead and staying assertive.
This is the perfect year to create change, follow your heart and stir things up a bit by being daring and taking chances.
The Fire Monkey is smart and ambitious, and it is through taking risks that it is often rewarded.
This year we are all going to feel challenged to take some risks and leap from tree to tree in order to move forward.
2016 is also a great year to follow your passions and to expand and grow your income. In fact investing, entrepreneurship and finances are all likely to be lucky endeavours this year as long as you pay attention to the details and know who to trust.
Even though the year of the Fire Monkey is considered to be very lucky in most areas, it is important to remain observant and aware of who you trust and who you enter into business with.
The year of the Fire Monkey can also be an impulsive one, so definitely remember to look before you leap and to not get too ahead of yourself. If things seem to good to be true, they probably are in the year of the Fire Monkey.
The ego can also tend to shine during the year of the Fire Monkey. When using this energy in a positive way, the year of the Fire Monkey can help you to get your personal affairs in order and to take calculated risks in order to achieve your dreams, desires and goals.
