Sun in Cancer
ABT has its Sun in early Cancer (9 degrees in), the sign of the crab. Tradition says Cancer protects its own and remembers everything, and gives it the Moon as its ruler. The less flattering half: it takes a comment from 2014 personally, still.
Water signs run on feeling: they read the room before they read the numbers. Cancer is also cardinal, the quality that opens each season and likes to go first. Put together, ABT is water and cardinal.
The rest of the sky
If the Sun is the public face, the Moon is what Abbott Laboratories does when nobody is watching. Here it is in Aries, which feels things instantly and is over them by lunch. Sky notes for the record: a last quarter Moon, half lit and shrinking, read as a time of letting go of the old version; Mercury in Gemini, Venus in Taurus, Mars in Leo, Jupiter in Gemini and Saturn in Sagittarius.
The numbers
Numerology gives Abbott Laboratories Life Path 11/2, a master number, the visionary who picks up signals nobody else hears. The Chinese calendar gives it an Earth Snake year (patient, private and very hard to surprise), and its Day Master, the element of the day itself, is Yin Fire: fire warms the room and burns through fuel.
Dates are given; names are picked. "Abbott Laboratories" reduces to Expression 6 (the caretaker, responsible for everyone whether they asked or not). Count only its vowels for a Soul Urge of 8; only its consonants for a Personality of 7.
