Sun in Aries
The Sun sat in early Aries (2 degrees in). Aries is the ram, ruled by Mars: a sign that goes first and reads the manual later. For Marriott International that reads as a character that treats every door as something to be through already, and one that mistakes speed for a plan about once a quarter.
Its element is Fire. Fire signs run on enthusiasm: they start things, and they would like you to watch. Its quality is cardinal, the quality that opens each season and likes to go first.
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 waning crescent, the last sliver before dark, read as rest and quiet preparation. The planets: Mercury in Aries, Venus in Aquarius, Mars in Aries, Jupiter in Pisces and Saturn in Aries.
The numbers
Reduce March 23, 1998 digit by digit and numerology hands back Life Path 8, the executive, the number numerology ties most closely to money and power. Chinese astrology files MAR under an Earth Tiger year, bold, restless and keen to arrive loudly, with a Day Master of Yin Earth: earth holds everything up and hates being rushed.
Then there is the name, which is the part of the chart a company chose. By Pythagorean numerology "Marriott International" is Expression 5, the free spirit, bored by anything that stays the same, with Soul Urge 11/2 and Personality 3.
MAR as a person
The reveal names people by letting seven traditions vote on four questions: move first or wait, this year or the next ten, one thing or many, out loud or in private. Run MAR's birth date through it and the tally says The Vault.
