The sign
The Chinese sign of Microsoft: Cat
Founding of Microsoft on Apr 4, 1975, in the year of the Cat in the Chinese calendar. On Molino, affinity is measured sign against sign: yours, according to your date of birth, against that of Microsoft.
- Same sign: Cat
- You resonate most with Microsoft if you were born between Feb 2, 1927 and Jan 22, 1928; Feb 19, 1939 and Feb 7, 1940; Feb 6, 1951 and Jan 26, 1952; Jan 25, 1963 and Feb 12, 1964; Feb 11, 1975 and Jan 30, 1976; Jan 29, 1987 and Feb 16, 1988; Feb 16, 1999 and Feb 4, 2000 or Feb 3, 2011 and Jan 22, 2012.
- Its two friends (三合 San He): Goat y Pig
- It also resonates with people born in years of the Goat or Pig: Goat, 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015; Pig, 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019.
- Its enemy (六冲 Liu Chong): Rooster
- The opposite energy. If you were born in a year of the Rooster (1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017), the one with Microsoft 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.
