Monkey

The Monkey

The Yang Metal animal.

Corresponding Western Sign: Leo

In public, the monkey normally appears light-hearted and carefree. But in private, they may be nursing deep feelings of insecurity. Monkeys get very hurt if they feel rejected, but often make light of the situation to cover their hurt.
Monkeys are also competitive, and insatiably curious about anything and everything. But they are very shrewd and intelligent, and know how to use their quick wits to never be at a loss for words.
