I have some software that I no longer sell that produces a Chinese Horoscope summary
for the coming year. As a business person I was fascinated to read the following
that it came up with for this year - The year of the Wooden Monkey
Everything
will be workable this year. At least the agile Monkey will not give up before
trying every angle. There will be success even in impossible ventures, there will
be inventions and improvisations galore.
Politics, diplomacy, high finance
and business will be engaged in one big poker game with everyone trying to out
bluff each other. A rather amusing and exciting time in which everyone will be
given the opportunity to try his hand at the game. No direct confrontation here,
as the Monkey is one who can laugh off his mistakes and improve his bargaining
prowess in the next round.
This is a year that will find us all trying to
get a better deal by outsmarting the other man. It is hard to keep track of who
is winning, as the right hand has no idea of what the left hand is up to. One
thing is for sure, this will be an extremely progressive time. We will all steam
ahead, and even if we do not apply ourselves to the utmost, we will be carried
forward by the surging tide of the Monkey's natural talent for learning and advancement.
The
lucky imp of a Monkey who rules this year will urge us to gamble, speculate and
exploit risky but ingenious options. If you are quick on the draw, this year will
yield huge dividends. It is definitely not a year for the faint-hearted or slow-witted.
The Monkey gives no concessions and asks none in return. If there is a recession,
the year of the Monkey will quickly put an end to it.
Business will skyrocket
under his optimistic and shrewd influence. The Monkey's resourcefulness will amaze
and confound everyone.
It is very interesting to note that America was born
in the year of the Fire Monkey, 1776. Perhaps this explains her phenomenal growth
and fantastic achievements within such a short span of time.
It is said
that the Monkey's year will bring many new and unconventional ways of doing things.
The
motto of this year should be: "Don't take No for an answer!"
