New York City is a major hub in the U.S., and it’s no coincidence that America is a Monkey country—Monkey energy works well with New York’s. Both the city and state were founded in years with friendly energies: New York City in the Year of the Rat and New York state in the Year of the Monkey. These matching energies have helped New York grow into a global financial and cultural powerhouse. If you have Rat, Dragon, or Monkey energy, you’ll feel right at home here. Horses, however, may feel held back by the opposing energy of the city. Many Horses have found greater success after leaving New York—it’s all about experimenting and understanding how these energies impact you. Fun fact: New York City has around 2 million rats, making the Rat energy quite literal!
