Sun in Scorpio
On that date the Sun was in late Scorpio (26 degrees in), so GM is a Scorpio. In the tradition that is the scorpion, which goes deep, keeps secrets and plays the long game. It also holds a grudge like a long position, which is less often put in the prospectus.
Water signs run on feeling: they read the room before they read the numbers. Scorpio is also fixed, the quality that holds the middle of each season and does not budge. Put together, GM is water and fixed.
The rest of the sky
The inner planets and the slow ones, as they stood for GM: Mercury in Sagittarius, Venus in Libra, Mars in Sagittarius, Jupiter in Pisces and Saturn in Libra. The Moon was in Aries, a placement that feels things instantly and is over them by lunch, at a waxing gibbous Moon, almost full, the phase of refining before the reveal.
The numbers
Reduce November 18, 2010 digit by digit and numerology hands back Life Path 5, the free spirit, bored by anything that stays the same. Chinese astrology files GM under a Metal Tiger year, bold, restless and keen to arrive loudly, with a Day Master of Yang Water: water finds the way around whatever is in front of it.
