Sun in Taurus
Sun in the middle of Taurus (13 degrees in). That makes Goldman Sachs a Taurus, the bull, a sign that likes things heavy, tangible and paid for. The ruler is Venus. The known bug is that it calls stubbornness patience and is right about half the time.
Fixed Earth: that is the short version of Goldman Sachs. The long version is that the sign is fixed, the quality that holds the middle of each season and does not budge, and that earth signs run on proof: they build, count and keep what works.
The rest of the sky
Moon in Sagittarius: the mood that gets restless the moment things settle. Phase: a waning gibbous Moon, just past full, the phase of sharing what was learned. And Mercury in Aries, Venus in Gemini, Mars in Scorpio, Jupiter in Aries and Saturn in Taurus, for completeness.
