Sun in Leo

ROST has its Sun in the middle of Leo (15 degrees in), the sign of the lion. Tradition says Leo performs, and wants the room to notice, and gives it the Sun as its ruler. The less flattering half: it hears silence as a review.

Fixed Fire: that is the short version of Ross Stores. The long version is that the sign is fixed, the quality that holds the middle of each season and does not budge, and that fire signs run on enthusiasm: they start things, and they would like you to watch.

The rest of the sky

Astrology reads the Moon as the private mood behind the public face. Ross Stores has it in Taurus, which wants comfort, a routine and the good chair. That day brought a last quarter Moon, half lit and shrinking, read as a time of letting go of the old version, with Mercury in Leo, Venus in Cancer, Mars in Leo, Jupiter in Aquarius and Saturn in Scorpio.

The numbers

Numerology gives Ross Stores Life Path 3, the talker, happiest with an audience. The Chinese calendar gives it a Wood Ox year (steady, strong and unimpressed by hurry), and its Day Master, the element of the day itself, is Yin Earth: earth holds everything up and hates being rushed.

The name gets a vote too. "Ross Stores" adds up to an Expression number of 5, the free spirit, bored by anything that stays the same. Its Soul Urge (vowels only) is 8 and its Personality (consonants only) is 6.
