The 9th Chinese Zodiac sign is the playful prankster Monkey.

Everything is a barrel of laughs to a Monkey, even when they are the only one who is laughing. They love jokes and humour, but aren't always able to know when to draw the line.

Monkeys are usually quite intelligent. That might come as a shock to anyone who actually knows a Monkey. They are charming and sometimes tend to manipulate the people around them. It's not intentional, that's just the way Monkeys seem to be. You need to be careful what you say around a Monkey. They'll keep your secrets, but will remember everything.

They are flexible people, and can roll with any unexpected changes with ease. Most of these unexpected changes are actually their own fault, as things often get hectic around a Monkey. Leaping from idea to idea is so common for them, it can make it hard to keep up.

There really isn't any specific career areas that particularly suit the jack-of-all-trades Monkey. They will adapt to any sort of work, and thrive on challenge. Being in charge isn't that important to a Monkey, though they will be happier if then can work with other people in a fast-paced environment.

In any relationship, a Monkey will easily become bored and move on to the next person. Until they've found their perfect match, then they will commit for life. That match is likely to be a Rat or Dragon, and almost never a Horse or Snake.
