The leading characteristic that best describes the Monkey personality is a spirit of innovation, best
evoked1 in the West by
Renaissance2 artist Leonardo da Vinci who was born in a Monkey year.
Extremely curious and thirsty for knowledge, Monkeys are never happier than when absorbing facts and information and,
possessed3 of a near photographic memory, usually retain all that they have learned.
Bored with
mundane4, day-to-day details, they are love confronting a challenging problem that calls upon their considerable genius.
Famous people born in the Year of the Monkey: Julius Caesar, Daniel Craig, Bette Davis, Jake Gyllenhaal, Eleanor Roosevelt, Betsy Ross, Diana Ross, Will Smith, Elizabeth Taylor,
Harry5 S. Truman, and Leonardo da Vinci.
