The monkey is a clever animal. It is usually compared to a smart person.
During the Spring and Autumn Period (770 - 476 BC), the dignified
Chinese official title of marquis was pronounced 'Hou', the same as the
pronunciation of ‘monkey’ in Chinese. The animal was thereby bestowed
with an auspicious meaning.
The general image of people in this zodiac sign is of
always being smart, clever and intelligent, especially in their career
and wealth. They are lively, flexible, quick-witted and versatile. In
addition, their gentleness and honesty bring them an everlasting love
life. Although they were born with enviable skills, they still have
several shortcomings, such as an impetuous temper and a tendency to look
down upon others.
- Strengths
enthusiastic, self-assured, sociable, innovative
- Weaknesses
jealous, suspicious, cunning, selfish, arrogant
Serbia always comes up with one of the best designs when it comes to the Lunar-stamps series...this year is no exception :)
