PYPL · first trade · 2015
PayPal is a Cancer
A chart that protects its own and remembers everything. PayPal is a listed company, so its birthday is the day its shares first changed hands in public, filed under Financials.
The birth certificate
PayPal's first trade was on Monday, July 6, 2015. In financial astrology, that is the birthday, and PYPL gets a chart like anyone else.

Sun in Cancer
The Sun sat in the middle of Cancer (14 degrees in). Cancer is the crab, ruled by the Moon: a sign that protects its own and remembers everything. For PayPal that reads as a character that carries its home on its back and decorates it, and one that takes a comment from 2014 personally, still.
Water signs run on feeling: they read the room before they read the numbers. Cancer is also cardinal, the quality that opens each season and likes to go first. Put together, PYPL is water and cardinal.
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 waning gibbous Moon, just past full, the phase of sharing what was learned. The planets: Mercury in Gemini, Venus in Leo, Mars in Cancer, Jupiter in Leo and Saturn in Scorpio.
The numbers
Add the date's digits and reduce them and you get Life Path 3: the talker, happiest with an audience. In BaZi, 2015 gives a Wood Goat year, gentle, creative and fond of comfort, and a Day Master of Yin Water, where water finds the way around whatever is in front of it.
Dates are given; names are picked. "PayPal" reduces to Expression 8 (the executive, the number numerology ties most closely to money and power). Count only its vowels for a Soul Urge of 2; only its consonants for a Personality of 6.
PYPL as a person
If PayPal typed its birth date into NatalWealth, the engine that names people would call it The Live Wire. That is the same engine, the same seven traditions and the same four questions a person gets.
