Fortunes of the Monkey in Snake Year 2013-14

Career and business luck is very good for Monkey-activities during Snake Year 2013-14. 'Monkey' and 'money' should be literally synonymous as the latter 'rolls in' from such sources. However, Monkey feet should be planted firmly on the ground during this period, pride should be avoided in favour of patience and humility.

On the romance front, prospects are poor and incompatibility could be at the heart of relationship problems. In health terms, Moneys may experience problems with their digestive systems and be prone to injuries springing from falls.
