Sun in Pisces
The Sun sat in late Pisces (28 degrees in). Pisces is the two fish, ruled by Jupiter and Neptune: a sign that imagines, absorbs and dissolves the boundaries. For iShares MSCI Hong Kong that reads as a character that sells a feeling better than a spec sheet, and one that swims in two directions and calls it strategy.
As an element, Water. Water signs run on feeling: they read the room before they read the numbers. As a quality, Mutable, which is the quality that closes each season and adapts to whatever comes next.
The rest of the sky
EWH's Moon is in Pisces, a placement that soaks up whatever mood is in the room. The phase was a new Moon, the dark start of the lunar month, which astrologers read as a clean slate. Further out: Mercury in Pisces, Venus in Taurus, Mars in Pisces, Jupiter in Capricorn and Saturn in Pisces.
The numbers
Reduce March 18, 1996 digit by digit and numerology hands back Life Path 1, the self-starter who would rather lead than be consulted. Chinese astrology files EWH under a Fire Rat year, quick, resourceful and first to the food, with a Day Master of Yang Wood: wood grows toward the light and does not ask permission.
