Sun in Aries
On that date the Sun was in the middle of Aries (16 degrees in), so BKR is an Aries. In the tradition that is the ram, which goes first and reads the manual later. It also mistakes speed for a plan about once a quarter, which is less often put in the prospectus.
Fire signs run on enthusiasm: they start things, and they would like you to watch. Aries is also cardinal, the quality that opens each season and likes to go first. Put together, BKR is fire and cardinal.
The rest of the sky
Astrology reads the Moon as the private mood behind the public face. Baker Hughes has it in Cancer, which is at its happiest at home, which is the Moon in its own sign. That day brought a first quarter Moon, half lit and growing, the phase tradition reads as a push through resistance, with Mercury in Pisces, Venus in Pisces, Mars in Gemini, Jupiter in Aries and Saturn in Sagittarius.
The numbers
Add the date's digits and reduce them and you get Life Path 8: the executive, the number numerology ties most closely to money and power. In BaZi, 1987 gives a Fire Rabbit year, careful, diplomatic and quietly lucky, and a Day Master of Yin Wood, where wood grows toward the light and does not ask permission.
Dates are given; names are picked. "Baker Hughes" reduces to Expression 6 (the caretaker, responsible for everyone whether they asked or not). Count only its vowels for a Soul Urge of 5; only its consonants for a Personality of 1.
BKR as a person
If Baker Hughes typed its birth date into NatalWealth, the engine that names people would call it The Patron. That is the same engine, the same seven traditions and the same four questions a person gets.
