Sun in Sagittarius
Sagittarius, late Sagittarius (25 degrees in): International Flavors & Fragrances shares a sign with the archer, ruled by Jupiter. Read as a personality, it announces the destination before checking the map. Read less kindly, it is optimistic in a way that needs supervision.
Fire signs run on enthusiasm: they start things, and they would like you to watch. Sagittarius is also mutable, the quality that closes each season and adapts to whatever comes next. Put together, IFF is fire and mutable.
The rest of the sky
Under the Sun sign sits the Moon, in Aquarius here, and a Moon in Aquarius feels things at a slight, scientific distance. It was a waxing crescent, the first sliver after the new Moon, read as early momentum. The planets: Mercury in Sagittarius, Venus in Capricorn, Mars in Sagittarius, Jupiter in Pisces and Saturn in Cancer.
