Short answer

The Monkey is the ninth of the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac. In the traditional groupings, the allies of the Monkey are the Rat and the Dragon, the secret friend is the Snake, and the clash, the animal opposite, is the Tiger.

A Chinese year starts at the lunar new year, in late January or in February. A birthday before that day belongs to the animal of the year before.
