What does the Year of the Fire Monkey have in store for your kids? Here is an expert’s forecast:
2004 Wood Monkey(Born between February 4, 2004 at 7:58 PM to February 4, 2005 at 1:45 PM)
Your Monkey Chid is extremely clever and shows signs of superiority. Teach him to respect others and be humble.
You may have noticed that your Little Monkey shines at everything, and success always comes to him on a silver platter, making him cocky and full of himself. Instill in him the value of seriousness and the realization that he cannot get everything he wants.
Your child’s luck fluctuates this year. He can improve it by having good relationships with his teachers and schoolmates. Since the monkey is playful, he has a tendency to be absent-minded. Remind him to concentrate on his studies so that he will get good grades.
Health: Keep him away from sharp objects and teach him to pay special attention to road safety. It is best to avoid dangerous sports.

2005 Wooden Rooster (born between February 4, 2005 at 1:34 A.M. and February 4, 2006 at 7:24 A.M.

He is a fast learner and works hard. He genuinely loves learning and is very eager to learn about new things.
Your Rooster Child loves the limelight. He also rarely admits he is wrong and refuses to ask for help. Help him understand that it is okay to ask for help since he always does not know everything.
He also tends to think he is the best, a master. Teach him to be humble.
Your child’s luck varies this year. He tends to procrastinate so help him concentrate and prioritize studying rather than wasting his time. He is excellent at teamwork.
Health: Beware of digestive problems

2006 Fire Dog (born between February 4, 2006 at 7:25 A.M. and February 4, 2007 at 1:14 p.m.
The Dog is the most likeable sign in the Chinese zodiac. Affectionate, loyal, honest, and helpful, everybody would love to be with your Little Dog. She is truly devoted, very helpful and the most magnanimous child you will ever meet.
Your Little Dog will shine everytime you appreciate her. She tends to have strong beliefs and can be bull headed when somebody opposes her. She can be tolerant everytime somebody bullies her, but watch out, pushing her too far will make her explode.
The dog’s luck is not too good this year. It is important to support her. She tends to be absent-minded, so steer her towards concentrating on her studies. Encourage her to maintain good relationships with teachers, schoolmates and the family.
Health: She worries too much. Help her loosen up and have fun.

2007 Yin Fire Pig (born between February 4, 2007 at 1:14 P.M. to February 4, 2008 at 7:02 P.M.)
Like the Dog, your Pig Child has deep convictions and commitments. He loves giving hugs, kisses and has the biggest heart around. Unselfish, sincere, honest, trusting, chivalrous, it is an absolute joy to have him around.
Your Pig Child does not know how to say no. His loving and generous nature can easily be taken advantage of. Cultivate in him the ability to discern if somebody is not true to him.
This year is special for the Pig because he has a “benefactor.” He will always have somebody to save him whenever he needs it. He will be lucky in school, but he of course needs to exert effort or his studies will be seriously affected.
Health: Don’t let him over-analyze. Help him stay calm and not too get emotional. If he is having problems, make it clear to him that bottling all those problems inside can affect his health.

2008 Earth Rat (born between February 4, 2008 at 7:03 P.M. and February 4, 2009 at 12:52 A.M.
Your Little Rat is a natural-born charmer. Her charm always wins even through a very sleepy parent’s heart. She is pretty calculating and would go into crying fits, clingy behavior and would even bully their siblings to get what she wants.
She is a natural leader and has the drive and self-discipline to succeed. She has an uncanny ability to cope with challenges and adapt to changes.
A Rat Child takes good care of her things and keeps her room clean. Do not ever attempt to touch her things in her room though. She is possessive of her personal space. And that goes for removing her old knick-knacks as well. Your Little Rats never would part easily with what they have.
She tends to learn and do too much in one go, like she is trying to win the Rat Race. Teach her to temper her excessive competitiveness by putting every thing into persective.
The Earth Rat’s luck for this year is average. She should work double time on her studies. Don’t let her be too talkative, because this could affect her good relationships with her teachers and classmates.
Health: Watch her diet.

2009 Yin Earth Ox (born between February 4, 2009 at 12:51 A.M. and February 4, 2010 at 6:48 A.M.)
Your Ox Child is self-reliant and extremely determined. He is strong with an impressive self-confidence and willpower in equal measure.
He is obedient, who will blindly follow your examples. Always make sure that you are always setting a good example for him.
Your Ox is extremely proud and would hate to see a sign of weakness in others and especially himself. He is self-reliant and would totally hate to ask help from others. It is your duty to develop in him compassion, consideration and understanding for others.
Luck is better this year. He enjoys good relationships with his family, teachers and schoolmates. School will be a breeze this year.
Health: Practice good hygiene and protect him from coughs and cold. Do not let him participate in dangerous sports.

2010 Tiger (born between February 4, 2010 to February 4, 2012)
Your Tiger Child may as well be a wild child, in a good way of course. She is extremely charming and seems to have boundless joy and enthusiasm. She is also an incurable optimist, which makes any setback seem peanuts to her.
Your Tiger Child can be extremely emotional, and can be extremely aggressive, even to you. Help her control her temper and emotions so that she will be able to channel her temper to other things because this certainly won’t be an asset as she grows up.
This Fire Monkey, luck for the Tiger is not that good since she directly clashes with the Monkey. There would be lack of focus and extra effort should be done to reach her goals. Don’t let her take risks.
Health: Be careful in outdoor activities.

2011 Rabbit (born between February 4, 2011 to Februry 4, 2012

Your Rabbit may as well be Miss Congeniality. She is nice to everybody and just is so well-mannered. Don’t let her look of calmness betray you, though. She is sensitive to criticism that you may dish out to her. When trying to discipline her, do it gently. Shouting and drama can just upset her.
Rabbits are the luckiest this year. They can get support from others to help them achieve. For your little rabbit, it is her time to show her capabilities and talents.
Health and Safety: Staying under the sun for a long time can lead to dehydration and heat stroke. Watch out!

2012 dragon (born between February 4, 2012 to February 3, 2013
Your Dragon Child is meant for great things. He is just, trustworthy, brave, fearless and intense.
He is excitable, stong and energetic. As a parent, help him channel his energies. He is so enthusiastic that it is possible that he can get burned. He also has a fierce belief that he should always emerge the champion. This makes it difficult for him to accept defeat. His anger and frustrations can make him go the dark side and would make him retaliate violently. He is obstinate and won’t ever admit his faults. It is your duty to advice and share your thoughts to him. He might not believe you, but at least, you have given him a piece of your mind.
Your Dragon child is extremely energetic. Help him contain his excess energy and help him channel his energy to something more worthwhile. If, for example, he runs around your living room the whole time, help him bring out his crayons and do some art work. He can be hard-headed, so watch out and don’t leave it unchecked.

2013 Snake (born between February 4, 2013 and February 3, 2014
The Snake Child can be variedly described as serious, wise, intelligent, with a great sense of humor. She is a mystery, so quiet at times and a life of the party at other times.
She tends to worry and is very secretive. She has strong self discipline and would fight to fulfill her objective. A Snake Child is meticulous and is extremely calculating. She analyzes everything before going for the kill, so to speak.
Snakes are lucky this Fire Monkey Year. Your Snake Child is born classy. Let her read good books for her mind stimulation, introduce her to different dishes, develop her taste for music, arts and crafts.
She can charm her way to your heart so be careful not to get her spoiled.

2014 horse (born between February 4, 2014 and February 3, 2015)
Your lovable little horse loves to move. He is adventurous and needs plenty of room to move. He resists discipline and is extremely head strong.
Your Horse child probably walked and talked early. In fact, he is developing so fast physically and mentally. He hates rules and routines since he is restless by nature. Do your best to rein him in since he is extremely headstrong.
Your Little Horse’s luck this year is not that great, but an achievement star will come his way. He is impulsive and stubborn, with an explosive temper. Help him the virtues of self-control and compromise.

2015 Goat (Born between February 4, 2015 to February 3, 2016
Your Little Goat is a gentle soul. She loves beauty and is very sensitive and compassionate. She can sometimes be pessimistic and prone to dark moods.
She is intelligent and very creative. However, she has difficulty learning under pressure. She will not do well in schools where there is extreme competitiveness. Watch out for this. High expectations can crush her spirit. Always be on the look out for signs, like refusing to go to school and stuff, and be there to calm and comfort her.
Your Little Goat needs balance. Keep her room bright, comfortable and uncluttered. I bet strict schedules don’t work with your Little Goat as well. Make her feel secure by reassuring and being with her always. Trying to discipline this Little Goat, as young as she is, won’t work. She always needs a parent to guide and guard her.

There's really a lot to learn about these signs and it's awesome that you're given a list of possible characteristics that they may have.
I was reading the rat, charming, clever and honest matches my son. I haven't noticed the other characteristics. 🙂
Love reading this! So cool to know their capabilities and improve them. I'll share this to my sister, she's going to love this. Thank you, Sis

Love reading this kond of article. Interesting:)
Oh my zd bear is year of the horse, this is so awesome.
Reading your post, I now know I have a tiger and a snake kid. Husband and I were both born in the year of the snake.
Matthew is a tiger child. He is very aggressive and so hyper, hehe. Tamang tama lang ang prediction na ito hehe.
The description for the year of the pig is dead on. Thanks for sharing and giving tips on how to guide our little angels.
This is so on-point for my little one. <3
I somewhat agree for the Tiger where Matthew belongs. But as others keep on saying, these are just guides and we should keep on bringing them to the right path.
Thanks for sharing these.
