猴年在十二地支中的代号是“申”.“申”属于象形文字,原本的形状是“亍”,仿佛是两双手抓着一根棒子.把“申”字加上人字旁,就成了“伸”,有伸展之意.即代表将自己聪明才智发展到极至,兔年出生,同时又有伸缩自如、富于弹性之意.

　　申在十二地支中,排在第九位,以季节而论,正是酷热难熬的八月,时间下午四时左右（午后三~五时）,太阳偏西而将要下山.方位则为西南西.

　　猴年出生的人,具有多方面的才能,在年轻时即受到社会肯定而崭露头角.大体而言,一生的运势都极为不错.步入中年后,社会地位已确定,但须注意盛极而衰.不会安于小成,经常定下新的目标奋斗不懈,是猴年出生人的优点.但是,性子急躁或自以为是,容易引起别人的反感,而导致失败.

　　动物界中,雄猴是精力充沛的象征.但是,属猴的人却不见得个个精力充沛.男性的个性顽强,凡事皆不肯落人之后.女性善于处理家务,令丈夫无后顾之忧,能在外专心发展事业,是个贤妻良母.但是,她并非是个只要先生孩子的传统女性,在外她照样能发挥才能帮助丈夫扩展事业,兔年宝宝起名网.即使取代人成为一家之主,也是通情达理的好太太,绝不会成为专横无知的刁妇.
