Sun in Sagittarius
On that date the Sun was in early Sagittarius (9 degrees in), so CAT is a Sagittarius. In the tradition that is the archer, which aims far, travels widely and promises big. It also is optimistic in a way that needs supervision, which is less often put in the prospectus.
As an element, Fire. Fire signs run on enthusiasm: they start things, and they would like you to watch. As a quality, Mutable, which is the quality that closes each season and adapts to whatever comes next.
The rest of the sky
The Moon was in Sagittarius, which gets restless the moment things settle. It was a new Moon, the dark start of the lunar month, which astrologers read as a clean slate. The rest of the sky that day: Mercury in Sagittarius, Venus in Scorpio, Mars in Sagittarius, Jupiter in Gemini and Saturn in Capricorn.
The numbers
Numerology gives Caterpillar Life Path 8, the executive, the number numerology ties most closely to money and power. 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 Metal: metal cuts, refines and keeps its edges sharp.
Numerology reads a name as well as a date. Spell out "Caterpillar", give each letter its number and reduce, and you get Expression 7: the researcher, who wants to know why before anything else. The vowels alone give a Soul Urge of 7, the consonants a Personality of 9.
