Sun in Scorpio
The Sun sat in late Scorpio (26 degrees in). Scorpio is the scorpion, ruled by Mars and Pluto: a sign that goes deep, keeps secrets and plays the long game. For SPDR Gold Shares that reads as a character that reads the footnotes and then the footnotes' sources, and one that holds a grudge like a long position.
Fixed Water: that is the short version of SPDR Gold Shares. The long version is that the sign is fixed, the quality that holds the middle of each season and does not budge, and that water signs run on feeling: they read the room before they read the numbers.
The rest of the sky
The Moon was in Aquarius, which feels things at a slight, scientific distance. It was a first quarter Moon, half lit and growing, the phase tradition reads as a push through resistance. The rest of the sky that day: Mercury in Sagittarius, Venus in Libra, Mars in Scorpio, Jupiter in Libra and Saturn in Cancer.
The numbers
Two more traditions, two more opinions. BaZi calls the year Wood Monkey, clever, playful and always three ideas ahead, 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.
