Sun in Gemini
IWM has its Sun in early Gemini (1 degrees in), the sign of the twins. Tradition says Gemini talks, connects and keeps two ideas going at once, and gives it Mercury as its ruler. The less flattering half: it starts a sentence in one mood and finishes it in another.
Mutable Air: that is the short version of Russell 2000. The long version is that the sign is mutable, the quality that closes each season and adapts to whatever comes next, and that air signs run on ideas: they connect, compare and talk it through.
The rest of the sky
If the Sun is the public face, the Moon is what Russell 2000 does when nobody is watching. Here it is in Capricorn, which keeps its feelings in a well-organised filing cabinet. Sky notes for the record: a waning gibbous Moon, just past full, the phase of sharing what was learned; Mercury in Gemini, Venus in Taurus, Mars in Gemini, Jupiter in Taurus and Saturn in Taurus.
The numbers
Reduce May 22, 2000 digit by digit and numerology hands back Life Path 11/2, a master number, the visionary who picks up signals nobody else hears. Chinese astrology files IWM under a Metal Dragon year, ambitious, flamboyant and fond of a grand entrance, with a Day Master of Yang Metal: metal cuts, refines and keeps its edges sharp.
The name gets a vote too. "Russell 2000" adds up to an Expression number of 7, the researcher, who wants to know why before anything else. Its Soul Urge (vowels only) is 8 and its Personality (consonants only) is 8.
