FDX · first trade · 1978
FedEx is an Aries
A chart that goes first and reads the manual later. FedEx is a listed company, so its birthday is the day its shares first changed hands in public, filed under Industrials.
The birth certificate
FedEx's first trade was on Wednesday, April 12, 1978. That is the day FDX arrived in public, so that is the day its chart is cast for.

Sun in Aries
Sun in late Aries (22 degrees in). That makes FedEx 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, FDX is fire and cardinal.
The rest of the sky
The Moon was in Gemini, which processes every feeling by describing it to someone. It was a waxing crescent, the first sliver after the new Moon, read as early momentum. The rest of the sky that day: Mercury in Aries, Venus in Taurus, Mars in Leo, Jupiter in Cancer and Saturn in Leo.
The numbers
Life Path 5 for FedEx, which numerology calls the free spirit, bored by anything that stays the same. In BaZi terms: an Earth Horse year (energetic, independent and allergic to fences) and a Yang Wood Day Master, because wood grows toward the light and does not ask permission.
Dates are given; names are picked. "FedEx" reduces to Expression 8 (the executive, the number numerology ties most closely to money and power). Count only its vowels for a Soul Urge of 1; only its consonants for a Personality of 7.
FDX as a person
If FedEx typed its birth date into NatalWealth, the engine that names people would call it The Live Wire. That is the same engine, the same seven traditions and the same four questions a person gets.
