Everyday advice is selected from a prewritten collection by date and sign, so passages may recur across dates and signs. This is not an individual consultation or a newly researched daily article, and it does not replace medical, legal or investment advice.

Yeoni: when you feel rushed, finish the easiest thing first—the path opens.
— Yeoni
When Hurting Officer and Eating God energies are active together, keep humor from turning cutting.
Monkey · Core pattern
Shin (申) is the energy of iron that marks the beginning of fall. Monkeys are quick to think and have a knack for turning situations to their advantage. Apply what you learn right away, and when you get stuck, find another way.
Strength
Problem solving is fast. Handles multiple skills simultaneously and acts as a lubricant between people.
Watch point
Trust is thin when tact prevails. Try one today using the regular method.
Lucky habit
Explain to someone what you learned. The Monkey becomes his own when he passes it on to others.

Frequently asked questions
How is today's fortune for Monkey calculated?
We first calculate today's sexagenary day pillar, Moon phase and current solar-term interval. Those values are read against Monkey's Metal element and Water trine: Monkey–Rat–Dragon (申子辰) traits across five axes: overall, love, money, health and work. Because the result comes from the date rather than a text written by hand each day, it remains the same whenever it is opened on that date.
Is there a reason why luck at work is important to those born in the year of the Monkey?
Monkey's strengths are application and interpersonal coordination, and the workplace is where those abilities are best revealed. On days when work items are high, positions that require negotiation or coordination pay off well.
How is zodiac sign compatibility determined?
It is based on the triad and congruence of the zodiac. The monkey forms a triad with the rat and the dragon to create the hydrangea, and the monkey and the tiger form a triad. This is not arbitrarily determined, but is a basic relationship in Myeongnihak.
