The year of the Red Fire Monkey does not start till 8th February. But this year as a libertarian according to my definition, I choose to wish – all those who deserve it – the best of success and health and happiness and fortune in the name of the auspicious, scarlet primate. Christmas is just the birthday of the Sun but the fiery nature of the monkey this year 2016 takes care of my lauds to Sol Invictus.

But it should be noted that year of one’s birth sign is the most unlucky in the 12 year Chinese cycle, and requires all “monkeys” born in 1920, 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, or 2004 to be especially careful during 2016. But 2016 should be the most fortunate time of the cycle for those born in the Years of the Tiger or the Rabbit.

Monkeys can be of “wood”, “fire”, “earth”, “gold” or “water”. Those born in 2016 are Fire Monkeys.

Monkeys should be particularly compatible with those born in Ox or Rabbit Years but should avoid those born in Tiger or Pig Years like the plague.

Whether the 12 year cycle of Chinese Astrology applies or not, certainly 2015 has demonstrated many of the baser instincts of humans.

If only evolution had direction.
