MonkeyThere is absolutely nothing wrong with Monkeys. �They are stable, upstanding creatures who blaze trails, love children and animals, take trouble with detail, and, one is tempted to say, "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil." �When they are not tempted to be "naughty," Monkey people are the nicest people you would want to know. �Trouble is, Monkeys are a mite childish and, like kids, are often drawn to mischief. �And when Monkeys get into mischief, hold your hats!

MonkeyThe thing about Monkeys that charms the pants off almost anybody who encounters them is that they are adorable. �Monkeys, even at their most vain and chattery, are irresistibly lovable. �They make you laugh and are often informative; they are pleasant to look at, as they care enormously about their appearance, and, most of all, Monkeys are nice. �They make super, long-lasting friends, fine neighbors and excellent employees. �Monkeys are naturally conscientious and always prefer to see a job well done rather than sign their name to a slapdash piece of work.

MonkeyTake a look at the person who cracks the most jokes at the next party you attend. �Does she have simian features? �Is there anything wiry and agile about her morphology? �Moving from audience to audience, the Monkey seeks out her most appreciative public and then proceeds to dazzle with rib-tickling tales of experiences she's had or eccentric people she's known. �And if this tactic, that of the charming raconteur, doesn't work, don't put it past the Monkey to unbutton her shirt, put it on backward and clown around that way. �If you don't pay attention to a Monkey, trust her to find a way to see that you do.

MonkeyMost admirable about Monkey people is their ability to solve problems. �It is difficult to imagine a dilemma wherein the Monkey cannot take the upper hand, wade through the gory particulars, think up new and exotic ways to get at the pith of the problem and come triumphantly, if somewhat the worse for wear, out the other side.

MonkeyMonkeys make excellent business people. �They are apt at negotiating deals and finding little ways to beat their adversaries at their own game. �Monkeys like sports and are usually very fit. �If they gain too much weight or notice a paunch forming atop their waistline, Monkeys are the first to go on diets, work out and find a way to solve the fat problem.

MonkeyDeep inside of Monkeys there seems to run a current of equilibrium. �No matter how crazy they go; never mind how much they overindulge. �Monkeys always land on their feet. �They never sink into self-destruction and are gifted with an uncanny ability to stand back from themselves, appraise the results of their follies and pull themselves together. �In the pit of their most profound selves lives a little watcher whose job it is to warn the monkey of danger. �If she listens to her watcher and heeds the watcher's advice, the Monkey will never fall apart.

MonkeyFinally, if you have a Monkey close to you, my advice is, let her swing. �She can go out and stay out and carouse and philander. �But the essentially good Monkey will always come home to her favorite tree. �Monkeys often have lots of children and make exceptional parents, taking original stands where child-rearing is concerned, helping them over hurdles in adolescence and always being able to recall their own childhoods - hence understanding and communicating, endlessly communicating.

MonkeyFAMOUS MONKEYS: �Tom Hanks, Timothy Leary, Danny DeVito, Julius Ceasar, Leonardo da Vinci, Harry S. Truman and Elizabeth Taylor.
