Abstract: I predict
the US will experience a difficult and possibly disastrous Year of the Fire
Monkey in 2016, perhaps similar to 1968.
Oriental term is jinx.
If you want the ‘love, light and harmony’ [h/t Brugh Joy] version, read someone
else! Tedious details follow. I MAY be less negative on the US outlook in later
revisions to this Monkey Year forecast, but doubt it.
Rats and dragons, compatible with Monkeys should
experience a very good to great year. Pigs, pretty good, 2 on a scale of
1>6.
Horses and Tigers – NOT
SO MUCH. See the compatibility chart below.
Timing: Chinese New Year – Year of the Fire Monkey begins at
the New Moon on 8 February 2016 at 9:39 AM EST.
The Chinese animal year begins each Western year about 4
February - it does not begin at the Chinese New Year. Those born 3, 4 or 5
February should consult http://www.chinesefortunecalendar.com/Chineseastrology.htm
to correctly ascertain their Chinese animal sign.
The first day of the animal year is
different from the Chinese New Year Day. The animal year starts on the first
day of the Tiger month. Tiger month begins from the day when Sun enters
ecliptic 315 degree position, which is around February 4 Gregorian calendar. That means the
animal month is solar month, not lunar month. For an even more thorough discussion of the animal
and Chinese New Year see http://www.chinesefortunecalendar.com/clc/LunarCalendar.htm

How Oriental
Astrology works: Oriental astrology is essentially “good luck” astrology in
that it tracks the planet Jupiter, considered to be one’s Greater Fortune. Jupiter
takes 12 years to transit the zodiac of 12 signs. Therefore, in whatever year
you were born, every 12 years when your Oriental zodiac animal year returns,
the planet Jupiter will be in the same sign it was when you were born. Jupiter
is called Guru in Hindu astrology and is considered your spiritual teacher.
Thus, roughly speaking, ALL Rabbits
[Cat] have Jupiter in Aries; Dragons, Jupiter in Taurus; Snakes, Jupiter in
Gemini; Horse, Jupiter in Cancer; Sheep [Goat], Jupiter in Leo; Monkey, Jupiter
in Virgo; Rooster, Jupiter in Libra; Dog, Jupiter in Scorpio; Pig, Jupiter in
Sagittarius; Rat, Jupiter in Capricorn; Cow [Ox], Jupiter in Aquarius; Tiger,
Jupiter in Pisces.
AND because when Jupiter returns to
the place it was when you were born that causes an expansion of the “good luck”
in your horoscope. Some signs have more innate “good luck” than others, so the
Oriental animal year is more important to some signs than others. Because
Jupiter is exalted in Cancer, Horses
probably experience more increased good luck during Horse year than other signs
do in theirs.
Incidentally, I have never seen this derivation of
Oriental astrology anywhere – I arrived at it myself.

Compatibility legend
1 excellent 2
successful 3 – good 4 – fair 5 – awkward 6 – clash
We can construct a rough ‘affability quotient’ for the signs by summing the compatibilities
of each of the 12 signs with each of the other. Thus,
Rat – 36
Ox – 39
Tiger –
45
Rabbit – 37
Dragon – 37
Snake – 38
Horse – 40
Goat – 40
Monkey – 35
Rooster – 43
Dog – 38
Pig -
31
Tigers are, by quite a bit, the most self-centered and
difficult to get along with followed by fractious Horses and picky Goats – Pigs
by far the most affable. Using the compatibility table it is possible to make
rough estimates on how your year will go. When it is your year it is invariably
transforming and expansive - sometimes too much so. When it is the opposite of
your year, that is, 6 years away, it can be restrictive and inharmonious.
A Few Predictions
United States:
Preliminarily, for a first post done at a somewhat inauspicious time of Moon
void of course, I will concentrate only on the main Monkey in everyone’s life, the United States. The Chinese
prediction linked above is http://www.chinesefortunecalendar.com/2016/2016Monkey.htm
When Monkey meets monkey it is inauspicious.
The ancient lunar New Year is THE New Year celebrated by
most of the world. Think Magh Mela in India and Tet in Viet Nam. Remember 1968
Tet Monkey New Year? Read up on it. A good source is General Vo Nguyen Giap, The
Military Art of the People’s War. Giap is the General who defeated three of
the major world powers in a period of 30 years in their, the major powers, insurgency
in Vietnam. These powers were Japan, colonial France and the United States.
The Oriental prediction for Monkeys in a Monkey year
includes “That
is a sign of jinx in Chinese
horoscopes when a Monkey meets another Monkey. That means people born in the
year of Monkey won't have good luck
during any Monkey years. The scene is that if a Monkey is passing by a land
with a local Monkey tyrant in charge. If the traveling Monkey can keep quiet,
then it will be safe and pass the land. If the traveling Monkey wants to mess
with or challenge the tyrant, then trouble will come to the traveling Monkey during its journey.”
Can you think of any tyrant’s through whose lands the US
Monkey may be operating? The US has the possibility of getting its ass kicked severely
in its idiotic 15 year and continuing Middle East struggles. One of the “Presidential”
candidates stated he would make the sands of Syria glow from carpet bombs. Going
back to Gen. Giap, “take it for granted air power will never decide the outcome
of a war.”
“Monkey contains Metal and Water. Metal is connected to gold. Water is connected to wisdom and danger. Therefore, we will deal with more financial events in the
year of the Monkey. Monkey is a smart, naughty, wily and vigilant animal. If
you want to have good return for your money investment, then you need to outsmart
the Monkey. Metal is also connected to the Wind.
That implies the status of events will be changing very quickly. Think twice
before you leap when making changes for your finance, career, business
relationship and people relationship.”
The word cloud from the paragraph above includes gold,
water, danger and wind. The following prediction from my Twitter feed MAY be
