Sun in Capricorn
NIB has its Sun in the middle of Capricorn (12 degrees in), the sign of the sea goat. Tradition says Capricorn climbs, one ledge at a time, for decades, and gives it Saturn as its ruler. The less flattering half: it schedules fun and then reschedules it.
As an element, Earth. Earth signs run on proof: they build, count and keep what works. As a quality, Cardinal, which is the quality that opens each season and likes to go first.
The rest of the sky
Under the Sun sign sits the Moon, in Pisces here, and a Moon in Pisces soaks up whatever mood is in the room. It was a waxing crescent, the first sliver after the new Moon, read as early momentum. The planets: Mercury in Aquarius, Venus in Aquarius, Mars in Capricorn, Jupiter in Capricorn and Saturn in Virgo.
The numbers
Numerology gives iPath Bloomberg Cocoa Life Path 5, the free spirit, bored by anything that stays the same. The Chinese calendar gives it an Earth Rat year (quick, resourceful and first to the food), and its Day Master, the element of the day itself, is Yin Fire: fire warms the room and burns through fuel.
Numerology reads a name as well as a date. Spell out "iPath Bloomberg Cocoa", give each letter its number and reduce, and you get Expression 9: the humanitarian, thinking about everyone at once. The vowels alone give a Soul Urge of 4, the consonants a Personality of 5.
