Sun in Scorpio
MCK has its Sun in the middle of Scorpio (17 degrees in), the sign of the scorpion. Tradition says Scorpio goes deep, keeps secrets and plays the long game, and gives it Mars and Pluto as rulers. The less flattering half: it holds a grudge like a long position.
Its element is Water. Water signs run on feeling: they read the room before they read the numbers. Its quality is fixed, the quality that holds the middle of each season and does not budge.
The rest of the sky
If the Sun is the public face, the Moon is what McKesson does when nobody is watching. Here it is in Aquarius, which feels things at a slight, scientific distance. Sky notes for the record: a first quarter Moon, half lit and growing, the phase tradition reads as a push through resistance; Mercury in Scorpio, Venus in Scorpio, Mars in Leo, Jupiter in Scorpio and Saturn in Pisces.
The numbers
Numerology gives McKesson Life Path 8, the executive, the number numerology ties most closely to money and power. The Chinese calendar gives it a Wood Dog year (loyal, principled and suspicious of strangers), and its Day Master, the element of the day itself, is Yang Metal: metal cuts, refines and keeps its edges sharp.
Then there is the name, which is the part of the chart a company chose. By Pythagorean numerology "McKesson" is Expression 9, the humanitarian, thinking about everyone at once, with Soul Urge 11/2 and Personality 7.
MCK 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 MCK's birth date through it and the tally says The Vault.
