The Lunar New Year of The Fire Rooster begins January 28, 2017.  The Rooster in Chinese Astrology generally means that this year will focus on awakenings.  This should be a good year for new beginnings.

The Year of the Monkey begins on February 8, 2016 and ends January 27, 2017.  If you were born in a Monkey Year of 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, or 2016; you will probably have good luck on your side this year.

People born during The Year of the Monkey are generally very wise, achieve great success and are not afraid of hard work.  They may also be suspicious, all about themselves, and be a little conceited.  They generally do not hesitate to let you and the rest of the world know if they are alarmed or unhappy.
