The sign
The Chinese sign of La Rioja: Cat
Founding on May 20, 1591, 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 La Rioja.
- Same sign: Cat
- You resonate most with La Rioja 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 La Rioja 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.
