The sign
The Chinese sign of Ben & Jerry's: Horse
Founding of Ben & Jerry's on May 5, 1978, in the year of the Horse in the Chinese calendar. On Molino, affinity is measured sign against sign: yours, according to your date of birth, against that of Ben & Jerry's.
- Same sign: Horse
- You resonate most with Ben & Jerry's if you were born between Jan 30, 1930 and Feb 16, 1931; Feb 15, 1942 and Feb 4, 1943; Feb 3, 1954 and Jan 23, 1955; Jan 21, 1966 and Feb 8, 1967; Feb 7, 1978 and Jan 27, 1979; Jan 27, 1990 and Feb 14, 1991; Feb 12, 2002 and Jan 31, 2003 or Jan 31, 2014 and Feb 18, 2015.
- Its two friends (三合 San He): Tiger y Dog
- It also resonates with people born in years of the Tiger or Dog: Tiger, 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010; Dog, 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018.
- Its enemy (六冲 Liu Chong): Rat
- The opposite energy. If you were born in a year of the Rat (1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008), the one with Ben & Jerry's is the relationship best avoided.
