However, in view of their light-hearted natures and great sense of humor, their worth can be underestimated by other people who refuse to take them seriously. If valued and encouraged, Monkeys can be extremely successful in business with their adeptness at making deals. Although delightful company, Monkeys can be unreliable and less than honest, even double-dealing in personal relationships. Therefore, the Monkey may find his or her associations short-lived and unfulfilled.

Monkeys are often gifted story-tellers, being drawn to the world of fantasy.
Roosters are diligent, efficient and deeply committed, often working long and hard to achieve their chosen goals. However, they are prone to taking on more work than they can cope with and experiencing bitter disappointment when they fail. Roosters like to work on their own, in their own way, and strongly react against any outside interference. They can be overbearing and bossy in their frustration with less-capable colleagues or partners. Roosters have a reputation for being forthright, but their honesty to the point of bluntness can cause them to lose friends.
