Sun in Cancer
On that date the Sun was in late Cancer (29 degrees in), so LQD is a Cancer. In the tradition that is the crab, which protects its own and remembers everything. It also takes a comment from 2014 personally, still, which is less often put in the prospectus.
As an element, Water. Water signs run on feeling: they read the room before they read the numbers. As a quality, Cardinal, which is the quality that opens each season and likes to go first.
The rest of the sky
Moon in Capricorn: the mood that keeps its feelings in a well-organised filing cabinet. Phase: a full Moon, everything lit at once, which tradition reads as a very public arrival. And Mercury in Leo, Venus in Virgo, Mars in Leo, Jupiter in Cancer and Saturn in Gemini, for completeness.
The numbers
Reduce July 22, 2002 digit by digit and numerology hands back Life Path 6, the caretaker, responsible for everyone whether they asked or not. Chinese astrology files LQD under a Water Horse year, energetic, independent and allergic to fences, with a Day Master of Yin Metal: metal cuts, refines and keeps its edges sharp.
Numerology reads a name as well as a date. Spell out "iShares iBoxx Investment Grade Corporate Bond", give each letter its number and reduce, and you get Expression 7: the researcher, who wants to know why before anything else. The vowels alone give a Soul Urge of 7, the consonants a Personality of 9.
LQD as a person
Feed LQD's date to the archetype engine, the one that gives you your title, and it comes back The Collector. Whether that fits is a matter for its shareholders' group chat.
