- Songkran is a Sanskrit word meaning passing or moving into, specifically referring to the passage of the sun into a particular sign of the zodiac. A sign refers to a particular group of stars, ther being a total of twelve zodiac signs. It takes approximately on monrth for the the sun to move in and out of a particular sign and when twelve signs have passed, a year is completed. Thi one year is called a "nakasat" year, (nakasat years refer to cycle of 12 years, called 12 nakasats). Images of different types of animals are used to represent particular signs for each of the years
- Monkeys have a vivid mind and the ability to turn difficult situations to their own favour. They are quick at repartee, smart and able to invent things. Even though the monkey gives the impression of being casual and easy he wants to be accepted as a serious person. Because of all his abilities the monkey tends to burn the candle on both sides taking on more than he can handle.
Magician David Copperfield is born in the year of the monkey.
