1932 Chinese Zodiac: Year of the Water Monkey

1932 is the Year of the Water Monkey — a Yang Water year. The animal sign is the Monkey, the ninth of the 12-animal cycle.

1932 carries the Water element (Yang Water). Element is set by the year's heavenly stem and cycles every 10 years, so the full Water Monkey combination returns only once every 60 years.

Those born in 1932, the Year of the Monkey, are traditionally described as sharp, curious, and inventive. With the Water element added, intuition, adaptability, and empathy are emphasised.

The Monkey is traditionally most compatible with the Rat, Dragon, Snake.

Almost — but the Chinese zodiac year starts at Chinese New Year (late January or early February), not January 1. So someone born in early 1932, before that year's Chinese New Year, is actually a Goat (the 1931 sign). If your birthday is in late January or early February, enter your full date of birth in the Age Calculator to confirm your exact sign.
