2026 horoscope
Monkey

Quick-witted, and good at turning a stuck situation around.

You think fast and find another way in when the front door is closed. You learn quickly and settle into any room in no time. Once the interest fades you drop things, so set an end point before you start.

Frequently asked questions❓

The Monkey comes back around every 12 years. Anyone born in 2016, 2004, 1992, 1980, 1968 is a Monkey. One catch: your tti (Korean zodiac animal) turns over at ipchun, around February 4. A birthday in January or early February may belong to the year before.
The date and the sign go in together as a seed. Six areas come out as scores: wealth, love, health, career, people, and luck. Same day and same sign means the same result for everyone, whenever they open it. It's built for fun.
The Three Harmonies and Six Harmonies groups are read as the easy fits. Clash, Punishment, and Harm pairings bump more often. Split the roles and that friction turns into a fair trade.
Samjae (a traditional three-year run of rough luck) is set by your sign's Three Harmonies group. It lands three years out of every nine. The year pages tell you straight away whether the Monkey is in it and which stage.
The most recent Monkey year was 2016. The table below gives the international age for every birth year at a glance.
