Sun in Leo
The Sun sat in late Leo (27 degrees in). Leo is the lion, ruled by the Sun: a sign that performs, and wants the room to notice. For Fastenal that reads as a character that would like the launch to have lighting, and one that hears silence as a review.
Fire signs run on enthusiasm: they start things, and they would like you to watch. Leo is also fixed, the quality that holds the middle of each season and does not budge. Put together, FAST is fire and fixed.
The rest of the sky
FAST's Moon is in Cancer, a placement that is at its happiest at home, which is the Moon in its own sign. The phase was a waning crescent, the last sliver before dark, read as rest and quiet preparation. Further out: Mercury in Leo, Venus in Leo, Mars in Leo, Jupiter in Aries and Saturn in Sagittarius.
The numbers
Two more traditions, two more opinions. BaZi calls the year Fire Rabbit, careful, diplomatic and quietly lucky, and the day Yin Metal, because metal cuts, refines and keeps its edges sharp. Numerology reduces the date to Life Path 8, the executive, the number numerology ties most closely to money and power.
Dates are given; names are picked. "Fastenal" reduces to Expression 6 (the caretaker, responsible for everyone whether they asked or not). Count only its vowels for a Soul Urge of 7; only its consonants for a Personality of 8.
FAST as a person
If Fastenal typed its birth date into NatalWealth, the engine that names people would call it The Founder. That is the same engine, the same seven traditions and the same four questions a person gets.
