Sun in Cancer
The Sun sat in early Cancer (2 degrees in). Cancer is the crab, ruled by the Moon: a sign that protects its own and remembers everything. For General Electric that reads as a character that carries its home on its back and decorates it, and one that takes a comment from 2014 personally, still.
Cardinal Water: that is the short version of General Electric. The long version is that the sign is cardinal, the quality that opens each season and likes to go first, and that water signs run on feeling: they read the room before they read the numbers.
The rest of the sky
If the Sun is the public face, the Moon is what General Electric does when nobody is watching. Here it is in Gemini, which processes every feeling by describing it to someone. Sky notes for the record: a new Moon, the dark start of the lunar month, which astrologers read as a clean slate; Mercury in Cancer, Venus in Cancer, Mars in Aquarius, Jupiter in Aries and Saturn in Virgo.
The numbers
Add the date's digits and reduce them and you get Life Path 4: the builder, who trusts a process more than a person. In BaZi, 1892 gives a Water Dragon year, ambitious, flamboyant and fond of a grand entrance, and a Day Master of Yang Fire, where fire warms the room and burns through fuel.
The name gets a vote too. "General Electric" adds up to an Expression number of 11/2, a master number, the visionary who picks up signals nobody else hears. Its Soul Urge (vowels only) is 3 and its Personality (consonants only) is 8.
