Sun in Aries

Sun in early Aries (9 degrees in). That makes iShares Preferred & Income Securities an Aries, the ram, a sign that treats every door as something to be through already. The ruler is Mars. The known bug is that it 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

PFF's Moon is in Virgo, a placement that calms down by tidying something. The phase was a waxing gibbous Moon, almost full, the phase of refining before the reveal. Further out: Mercury in Pisces, Venus in Taurus, Mars in Aquarius, Jupiter in Sagittarius and Saturn in Leo.

The numbers

Add the date's digits and reduce them and you get Life Path 6: the caretaker, responsible for everyone whether they asked or not. In BaZi, 2007 gives a Fire Pig year, generous, easygoing and good at enjoying things, and a Day Master of Yin Water, where water finds the way around whatever is in front of it.

Then there is the name, which is the part of the chart a company chose. By Pythagorean numerology "iShares Preferred & Income Securities" is Expression 1, the self-starter who would rather lead than be consulted, with Soul Urge 9 and Personality 1.

PFF 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 PFF's birth date through it and the tally says The Gardener.
