The sign
The Chinese sign of General Motors: Monkey
Founding on Sep 16, 1908, in the year of the Monkey in the Chinese calendar. On Molino, affinity is measured sign against sign: yours, according to your date of birth, against that of General Motors.
- Same sign: Monkey
- You resonate most with General Motors if you were born between Feb 6, 1932 and Jan 25, 1933; Jan 25, 1944 and Feb 12, 1945; Feb 12, 1956 and Jan 30, 1957; Jan 30, 1968 and Feb 16, 1969; Feb 16, 1980 and Feb 4, 1981; Feb 4, 1992 and Jan 22, 1993; Jan 22, 2004 and Feb 8, 2005 or Feb 8, 2016 and Jan 27, 2017.
- Its two friends (三合 San He): Rat y Dragon
- It also resonates with people born in years of the Rat or Dragon: Rat, 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008; Dragon, 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012.
- Its enemy (六冲 Liu Chong): Tiger
- The opposite energy. If you were born in a year of the Tiger (1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010), the one with General Motors is the relationship best avoided.
