The sign
The Chinese sign of Vans: Horse
Founding on Mar 16, 1966, 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 Vans.
- Same sign: Horse
- You resonate most with Vans 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 Vans 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.
