The sign
The Chinese sign of TikTok: Monkey
Launch of TikTok on Sep 20, 2016, 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 TikTok.
- Same sign: Monkey
- You resonate most with TikTok 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 TikTok 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.
Keep in mind
Affinity is a symbolic reading from the Chinese zodiac tradition, not a measurement: it compares the sign of the year you were born with that of each entry's year of origin.
