The sign
The Chinese sign of IBM: Pig
Founding of IBM on Jun 16, 1911, in the year of the Pig in the Chinese calendar. On Molino, affinity is measured sign against sign: yours, according to your date of birth, against that of IBM.
- Same sign: Pig
- You resonate most with IBM if you were born between Feb 4, 1935 and Jan 23, 1936; Jan 22, 1947 and Feb 9, 1948; Feb 8, 1959 and Jan 27, 1960; Jan 27, 1971 and Feb 14, 1972; Feb 13, 1983 and Feb 1, 1984; Jan 31, 1995 and Feb 18, 1996; Feb 18, 2007 and Feb 6, 2008 or Feb 5, 2019 and Jan 24, 2020.
- Its two friends (三合 San He): Cat y Goat
- It also resonates with people born in years of the Cat or Goat: Cat, 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011; Goat, 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015.
- Its enemy (六冲 Liu Chong): Snake
- The opposite energy. If you were born in a year of the Snake (1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013), the one with IBM is the relationship best avoided.
The Chinese year starts between January 21 and February 21: if you were born in those weeks, check the exact range on your sign's page.
