Sun in Taurus
AWK has its Sun in early Taurus (3 degrees in), the sign of the bull. Tradition says Taurus builds slowly and then refuses to move, and gives it Venus as its ruler. The less flattering half: it calls stubbornness patience and is right about half the time.
As an element, Earth. Earth signs run on proof: they build, count and keep what works. As a quality, Fixed, which is the quality that holds the middle of each season and does not budge.
The rest of the sky
If the Sun is the public face, the Moon is what American Water Works does when nobody is watching. Here it is in Sagittarius, which gets restless the moment things settle. Sky notes for the record: a waning gibbous Moon, just past full, the phase of sharing what was learned; Mercury in Taurus, Venus in Aries, Mars in Cancer, Jupiter in Capricorn and Saturn in Virgo.
The numbers
Numerology gives American Water Works Life Path 1, the self-starter who would rather lead than be consulted. The Chinese calendar gives it an Earth Rat year (quick, resourceful and first to the food), and its Day Master, the element of the day itself, is Yin Water: water finds the way around whatever is in front of it.
Numerology reads a name as well as a date. Spell out "American Water Works", give each letter its number and reduce, and you get Expression 1: the self-starter who would rather lead than be consulted. The vowels alone give a Soul Urge of 1, the consonants a Personality of 9.
