Monkey in Tiger year 2010:

Anticipate challenges because Tiger is opposite Monkey in the twelve-year cycle of animals. The spotlight will not be on Monkey this year, and Monkey does not like to be ignored. It is best to retreat and not engage in new projects. Your next fortunate cycle will be in Dragon year 2012.

Monkey Personality:

Monkey is ingenious, sharp, clever, alert, extremely entertaining, mercurial, and aggressive. Uninhibited, Monkey rarely gets embarrassed by anything and is free to express himself fearlessly in all walks of life. In addition to mental alertness, Monkey also possesses physical stamina.
Monkey embodies strong leadership potential and wins trust easily. Insistent on being the leader, Monkey won't allow anyone else to tell him what to do. Monkey is good with his hands and has skills and dexterity with machines. He naturally has technological talents and can easily master computers. In short -- Monkey can do anything!

In Asia, the birthrate skyrockets in Monkey year as in Dragon year. A male Monkey child is preferred but a female Monkey is also very strong and succeeds by accepting her yang nature and applying it to achievement in the world. Monkey is generous and sensitive, and loves to help others. In personal relationships, Monkeys can be playful and romantic, yet they may treat relationships as games and have trouble staying committed for an extended period of time. Impatient Monkey gets bored easily and is constantly looking for excitement, stimulation, and new games. He runs hot and cold in relationships and has a rigid caste system for judging others. Either you are high on Monkey's list and a valued player, or you you're not, either you contribute to Monkey's advancement, or you don't.

The year of the Monkey is a time of courage, action, anarchy, and true devotion to even the wildest of schemes. Success can be attained in business, politics, and real estate. Everyone wants to work the shrewdest angle, get the best deal, and win big. Now is the time to start new endeavors, for they are destined to succeed under Monkey's influence. But woe be to the dull or slow witted: Monkey will steal all the peanuts and leave nothing but empty shells.
