The Monkey's inventive mind might keep it awake tonight, its curiosity piqued by the quiet house. A light snack or a short meditation could help settle its active thoughts. According to Chinese tradition, the Monkey's restlessness can be calmed with a mindful routine.
Prepare a healthy lunch with a variety of colors, like carrots and blueberries, by 12:30 PM.

The Monkey, in its bed, can't stop thinking about the day's adventures. It picks up a small stone and starts to roll it between fingers, a habit from its playful days. A few minutes of meditation later, it feels more at ease.
Lunchtime is ideal for this, as it sets a positive tone for the afternoon.
'I'll eat a colorful, balanced lunch to keep my energy up.'
