Monkey: Here's what your Chinese Horoscope has in store for you for 2026
Monkey
The Monkey is not one of the best friends of the Horse! So, you can still look forward to 2026, but expect to have a few challenges to overcome.
The energy of this year will be fast paced for the Monkey, so fast it may even feel confusing at times! Work will be hard but can still be rewarding.
New steps in your career are also favoured, money-making opportunities are too, as is your social life, which will happen differently to the previous years. Effective communication is therefore essential.
During the year, you may get a weird feeling of being misplaced, as if you are at odds with the world around you. However, this is simply because you are feeling the inevitable changes that will take place for you.
Go with flow, maintain your morale and if needs be, seek advice to check you are on the right path. True, deep love is not the focus point of 2026 for most Monkeys.
The social side is though, and that can be exceptionally good news for single Monkeys who can have some exciting meetings.
Monkeys in relationships will continue as they have been, with some lovely moments for those in happy couples.
