    The Chinese zodiac is divided into 12 blocks (or houses) just like its western counterpart, but with the major difference being that each house has a time-length of one year instead of one month. 2016 is the Year of the Monkey, the ninth animal in the cycle. The next Year of the Monkey will be in 2028. Here are a few predictions for those born in Year of Monkey: 

    Career: Your career will keep you busy. But there is no sign of any promotion. If you are looking for a job, then you might need more time to get one. 

    Wealth: In general, you don’t have good financial luck in the near future. People around you are looking for money making opportunities. If someone asks you for any form of investment, then you should better skip it. 

    Love: You and your lover will have a difference of opinion. People born in the Year of Rabbit can act as good mediators for you.
