Sun in Cancer
The Sun sat in late Cancer (27 degrees in). Cancer is the crab, ruled by the Moon: a sign that protects its own and remembers everything. For FTSE Developed Markets ex-US 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, VEA is water and cardinal.
The rest of the sky
If the Sun is the public face, the Moon is what FTSE Developed Markets ex-US does when nobody is watching. Here it is in Libra, which needs the room to like each other. Sky notes for the record: a first quarter Moon, half lit and growing, the phase tradition reads as a push through resistance; Mercury in Cancer, Venus in Virgo, Mars in Taurus, Jupiter in Sagittarius and Saturn in Leo.
The numbers
Add the date's digits and reduce them and you get Life Path 9: the humanitarian, thinking about everyone at once. In BaZi, 2007 gives a Fire Pig year, generous, easygoing and good at enjoying things, and a Day Master of Yin Wood, where wood grows toward the light and does not ask permission.
