The sign
The Chinese sign of Benin: Rat
Independence on Aug 1, 1960, in the year of the Rat in the Chinese calendar. On Molino, affinity is measured sign against sign: yours, according to your date of birth, against that of Benin.
- Same sign: Rat
- You resonate most with Benin if you were born between Feb 5, 1924 and Jan 24, 1925; Jan 24, 1936 and Feb 10, 1937; Feb 10, 1948 and Jan 28, 1949; Jan 28, 1960 and Feb 14, 1961; Feb 15, 1972 and Feb 2, 1973; Feb 2, 1984 and Feb 19, 1985; Feb 19, 1996 and Feb 6, 1997 or Feb 7, 2008 and Jan 25, 2009.
- Its two friends (三合 San He): Dragon y Monkey
- It also resonates with people born in years of the Dragon or Monkey: Dragon, 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012; Monkey, 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016.
- Its enemy (六冲 Liu Chong): Horse
- The opposite energy. If you were born in a year of the Horse (1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014), the one with Benin 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.
