Sun in Aquarius
On that date the Sun was in the middle of Aquarius (13 degrees in), so SLB is an Aquarius. In the tradition that is the water bearer, which invents, networks and ignores how it has always been done. It also is friendly with everyone and close with nobody, which is less often put in the prospectus.
Its element is Air. Air signs run on ideas: they connect, compare and talk it through. Its quality is fixed, the quality that holds the middle of each season and does not budge.
The rest of the sky
The Moon was in Capricorn, which keeps its feelings in a well-organised filing cabinet. It was a waning crescent, the last sliver before dark, read as rest and quiet preparation. The rest of the sky that day: Mercury in Aquarius, Venus in Aquarius, Mars in Aquarius, Jupiter in Aquarius and Saturn in Aquarius.
The numbers
Numerology gives Schlumberger Life Path 22/4, a master number, the master builder with plans at the scale of cities. The Chinese calendar gives it a Metal Ox year (steady, strong and unimpressed by hurry), and its Day Master, the element of the day itself, is Yin Metal: 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 "Schlumberger" is Expression 5, the free spirit, bored by anything that stays the same, with Soul Urge 4 and Personality 1.
SLB 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 SLB's birth date through it and the tally says The Sniper.
