Ascendants of the Monkey
The ascendants below are related to the Chinese Lunar Sign of the Monkey. Each period of time during the day corresponds to a different Chinese horoscope. So, although it is the Monkey’s individual choice on which path he will take in life, there may perhaps be other “inner voices” which will influence him. These “inner voices”, “other self” or “inner struggle” comes from their conflicting ascendants.
11PM – 1AM: The Rat Hours
A party animal, you live life to the fullest but without extravagance. With the Rat in ascendance, you are innovative at work, and the soft-hearted friend that you are, you will always try to support the people you care for.
1AM – 3AM: The Ox Hours
A responsible planner and a stickler for the rules, you are hardworking, patient and accountable for all that you do. Quietly going about your business, you are as placid and proper as an Ox, never deviating from your principles nor priorities.
3AM – 5AM: The Tiger Hours
The aggression of the energetic Tiger coupled with the suspicious and domineering personality of the Monkey could be overpowering. As you have a strong personality, it will be to your benefit to keep a lid on your fluctuating moods.
5AM – 7AM: The Rabbit Hours
The Rabbit here tempers the playfulness and restlessness of the Monkey. Your intuition is heightened and you make great judgment calls. You are more cautious and sensitive when dealing with others, and you also will tend to make more carefully considered decisions.
7AM – 9AM: The Dragon Hours
The flamboyant Dragon in ascendance produces a turbo-charged formidable Monkey who will pull out all stops to achieve grandiose schemes simply just to prove you can do it! This potent combination, if harnessed in a practical manner, empowers you to be successful at anything you wish.
9AM-11AM: The Snake Hours
This Snake-influenced Monkey is quiet and secretive, never revealing your strategy until the right time. The presence of the mysterious Snake also means that you are very attractive. Ultimately though, the Snake’s wisdom and the Monkey’s cleverness will ensure that nobody can outmaneuver you.
11AM-1PM: The Horse Hours
With the Horse as your ascendant, you are likely to be physically strong, fit and excel in sports. Your decision-making might not be very well thought through but your clever and capable Monkey mind will think of innovative ways to resolve any issues, and with your charming personality, you will always be loved.
1PM-3PM: The Sheep Hours
While this Monkey might become easily offended or overreact with the Sheep in ascendance, your delightful and amenable character will allow you to create rapport and trust with a broad range of people. You are a good team player and you are also able to garner support from your many friends.
3PM-5PM: The Monkey Hours
With the Monkey as your ascendant as well as your zodiac sign, you can have double the positive or negative qualities associated with your zodiac sign. On the positive side, you can be highly intelligent, warm, and friendly with superb people skills. Not only are you super smart, you are also attractive and ambitious; a super achiever, versatile and fantastic problem solver all in one neat package.
5PM-7PM: The Rooster Hours
This Monkey is extroverted, ambitious and will willingly go where angels fear to tread. Adding onto the Monkey’s natural intellect and analytical mind, the Rooster’s tendency to work 24/7 ensures success at whatever this Monkey chooses to do. Don’t forget your Monkey joie de vivre and sense of fun on your way to achieving your goals though.
7PM-9PM: The Dog Hours
The Dog brings a sense of stability to the errant Monkey. Suddenly, you realise that you don’t have to be always proving yourself and that just being yourself and being liked for who you are could just be good enough. The Monkey with the Dog in ascendance is less consumed with luxuries, is more grounded and becomes as faithful as a dog. The edge is taken off and there is no longer that driving need to attack every challenge life flings at you. You become a pragmatist who is objective, straight talking, protective and honest and people love you for it.
9PM-11PM: The Pig Hours
This Monkey is less crafty, less self-centred and is more straightforward due to the Pig in its ascendance. You are generous, always willing to help, genuine, loving and faithful to your loved ones and your principles. You will keep your word and will persevere despite all obstacles. As such, people will gravitate to you for advice on anything because you are good at everything.
