Vanguard Total Bond Market is an Aries

A chart that goes first and reads the manual later. Vanguard Total Bond Market is a bond fund, the part of a portfolio that is meant to be boring on purpose.

The birth certificate

Vanguard Total Bond Market's fund launch was on Tuesday, April 3, 2007. That is the day BND arrived in public, so that is the day its chart is cast for.

Sun in Aries

Sun in the middle of Aries (13 degrees in). That makes Vanguard Total Bond Market an Aries, the ram, a sign that treats every door as something to be through already. The ruler is Mars. The known bug is that it mistakes speed for a plan about once a quarter.

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, BND is fire and cardinal.

The rest of the sky

Under the Sun sign sits the Moon, in Libra here, and a Moon in Libra needs the room to like each other. It was a full Moon, everything lit at once, which tradition reads as a very public arrival. The planets: Mercury in Pisces, Venus in Taurus, Mars in Aquarius, Jupiter in Sagittarius and Saturn in Leo.

The numbers

Two more traditions, two more opinions. BaZi calls the year Fire Pig, generous, easygoing and good at enjoying things, and the day Yin Fire, because fire warms the room and burns through fuel. Numerology reduces the date to Life Path 7, the researcher, who wants to know why before anything else.

Dates are given; names are picked. "Vanguard Total Bond Market" reduces to Expression 7 (the researcher, who wants to know why before anything else). Count only its vowels for a Soul Urge of 6; only its consonants for a Personality of 1.

BND as a person

If Vanguard Total Bond Market typed its birth date into NatalWealth, the engine that names people would call it The Vault. That is the same engine, the same seven traditions and the same four questions a person gets.
