They'd better consider the situation, consolidate step by step and never expect too much profit or make great fortune overnight. Also, they should not invest too much or seek fast luck in case of financial losses.
Marriage: Beware of a Third Party or Vile Character
For Monkeys, the luck for marriage and love relationship will be just like an illusion which is out of reach. And this is especially true for single Monkeys and they can hardly find the right one this year. Monkeys in a relationship will get emotional and easily blame each other or catch each other on the raw.
