Sun in Virgo
Virgo, late Virgo (26 degrees in): Alibaba shares a sign with the maiden with the wheat, ruled by Mercury. Read as a personality, it has a checklist for the checklist. Read less kindly, it cannot leave a typo alone, including other people's.
Its element is Earth. Earth signs run on proof: they build, count and keep what works. Its quality is mutable, the quality that closes each season and adapts to whatever comes next.
The rest of the sky
Under the Sun sign sits the Moon, in Leo here, and a Moon in Leo needs applause the way other Moons need sleep. It was a waning crescent, the last sliver before dark, read as rest and quiet preparation. The planets: Mercury in Libra, Venus in Virgo, Mars in Sagittarius, Jupiter in Leo and Saturn in Scorpio.
The numbers
Life Path 8 for Alibaba, which numerology calls the executive, the number numerology ties most closely to money and power. In BaZi terms: a Wood Horse year (energetic, independent and allergic to fences) and a Yin Water Day Master, because water finds the way around whatever is in front of it.
Then there is the name, which is the part of the chart a company chose. By Pythagorean numerology "Alibaba" is Expression 1, the self-starter who would rather lead than be consulted, with Soul Urge 3 and Personality 7.
BABA as a person
The reveal names people by letting seven traditions vote on four questions: move first or wait, this year or the next ten, one thing or many, out loud or in private. Run BABA's birth date through it and the tally says The Opportunist.
