Sun in Taurus
The Sun sat in early Taurus (1 degrees in). Taurus is the bull, ruled by Venus: a sign that builds slowly and then refuses to move. For iShares Silver Trust that reads as a character that likes things heavy, tangible and paid for, and one that calls stubbornness patience and is right about half the time.
Its element is Earth. Earth signs run on proof: they build, count and keep what works. Its quality is fixed, the quality that holds the middle of each season and does not budge.
The rest of the sky
The inner planets and the slow ones, as they stood for SLV: Mercury in Aries, Venus in Pisces, Mars in Cancer, Jupiter in Scorpio and Saturn in Leo. The Moon was in Aquarius, a placement that feels things at a slight, scientific distance, at a last quarter Moon, half lit and shrinking, read as a time of letting go of the old version.
The numbers
Reduce April 21, 2006 digit by digit and numerology hands back Life Path 6, the caretaker, responsible for everyone whether they asked or not. Chinese astrology files SLV under a Fire Dog year, loyal, principled and suspicious of strangers, with a Day Master of Yang 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 "iShares Silver Trust" is Expression 1, the self-starter who would rather lead than be consulted, with Soul Urge 5 and Personality 5.
SLV 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 SLV's birth date through it and the tally says The Gardener.
