Sun in Cancer

PANW has its Sun in late Cancer (28 degrees in), the sign of the crab. Tradition says Cancer protects its own and remembers everything, and gives it the Moon as its ruler. The less flattering half: it takes a comment from 2014 personally, still.

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

The inner planets and the slow ones, as they stood for PANW: Mercury in Leo, Venus in Gemini, Mars in Libra, Jupiter in Gemini and Saturn in Libra. The Moon was in Leo, a placement that needs applause the way other Moons need sleep, at a new Moon, the dark start of the lunar month, which astrologers read as a clean slate.

The numbers

Numerology gives Palo Alto Networks Life Path 5, the free spirit, bored by anything that stays the same. The Chinese calendar gives it a Water Dragon year (ambitious, flamboyant and fond of a grand entrance), and its Day Master, the element of the day itself, is Yang Water: water finds the way around whatever is in front of it.

Numerology reads a name as well as a date. Spell out "Palo Alto Networks", give each letter its number and reduce, and you get Expression 1: the self-starter who would rather lead than be consulted. The vowels alone give a Soul Urge of 7, the consonants a Personality of 3.

PANW as a person

Feed PANW's date to the archetype engine, the one that gives you your title, and it comes back The Live Wire. Whether that fits is a matter for its shareholders' group chat.
