Certain situations and people will push your patience to the edge this month. To remain a happy Monkey rather than a snappy Monkey imagine that you can go to the shops and buy a big bundle of patience and even get it gift wrapped as a present for yourself. Remember also to get plenty of rest in between your star performances as the life and soul of the party.

Being the most entertaining and enchanting person can take its toll on your energy levels, so is it any wonder that your patience can begin to run a bit thin? Enjoying yourself can turn into chore if you over-pack your social schedule and your diary becomes more like an appointment book with no empty slots. It does not need to become a competition to see who is the most popular by counting the functions you plan to attend. The quality of the company you keep counts as much, if not more so than the quantity of company. Give good friends more of your time and don’t feel the need to keep up with all your acquaintances.

Love

It ain’t what you do it’s the way that you do it. You can create a romantic atmosphere or you can kill it with how you express your feelings. If your other half is irritating you, find a way of speaking nicely about it for that is actually a quicker way to get them to take on board your wishes. Unattached Monkeys have fun being flirty.

Career

In dealing with an unusual prospect, it is tempting to imagine all the possibilities that could emerge. What is needed though is some specific goal setting otherwise you could be tempted to move in too many directions all at once and end up not making much real progress. Pin down your next move and follow through.

Money

If you have met your fiscal objectives this year, then you can be more loose-handed in the run-up to the seasonal celebrations. If on the other hand, bank balances are not as healthy as you had hoped, then tightening your purse strings is called for. Be on the lookout for good deals to get what you want at the price you want to pay.
