2040: Year of the Metal Monkey
Chinese New Year 2040 falls on Sunday, February 12.
- By Chinese New Year: February 12, 2040 to January 31, 2041
- By Lichun (Start of Spring): February 4, 2040 to February 2, 2041
Chinese New Year follows the lunisolar calendar, so its date moves between January 21 and February 20. Lichun is a solar term that falls on February 3, 4 or 5, and it is where Ba Zi astrology starts the year.
Born from February 4 to February 11, 2040? By Lichun, the boundary Ba Zi astrology uses, you are already in the Year of the Metal Monkey; by Chinese New Year you are still in the Year of the Earth Goat.
About the Metal Monkey
Metal is the Monkey's native element, producing the sharpest, most strategically brilliant, and most determined Monkey type. This combination hones the Monkey's natural intelligence to a razor edge, creating an analytical mind of extraordinary precision and clarity. The Metal Monkey is ambitious, competitive, and capable of devising strategies of breathtaking cleverness and effectiveness. Their challenge is to temper their formidable intellect with warmth, as the combination of Monkey cunning and Metal sharpness can seem cold to others.
The Yang Metal Monkey wields their brilliant mind as a visible weapon, actively outmaneuvering competitors with dazzling strategic precision and confident authority.
