A chart that carries its home on its back and decorates it. iShares 1-3 Year Treasury Bond is a bond fund, the part of a portfolio that is meant to be boring on purpose.
The birth certificate

Sun in Cancer
SHY has its Sun in late Cancer (29 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.
Its element is Water. Water signs run on feeling: they read the room before they read the numbers. Its quality is cardinal, the quality that opens each season and likes to go first.
The rest of the sky
The Moon was in Capricorn, which keeps its feelings in a well-organised filing cabinet. It was a full Moon, everything lit at once, which tradition reads as a very public arrival. The rest of the sky that day: Mercury in Leo, Venus in Virgo, Mars in Leo, Jupiter in Cancer and Saturn in Gemini.
The numbers
Life Path 6 for iShares 1-3 Year Treasury Bond, which numerology calls the caretaker, responsible for everyone whether they asked or not. In BaZi terms: a Water Horse year (energetic, independent and allergic to fences) and a Yin Metal Day Master, because metal cuts, refines and keeps its edges sharp.
Then there is the name, which is the part of the chart a company chose. By Pythagorean numerology "iShares 1-3 Year Treasury Bond" is Expression 2, the partner, diplomatic and allergic to a scene, with Soul Urge 9 and Personality 11/2.
SHY 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 SHY's birth date through it and the tally says The Gardener.
