Sun in Pisces

VWO has its Sun in the middle of Pisces (14 degrees in), the sign of the two fish. Tradition says Pisces imagines, absorbs and dissolves the boundaries, and gives it Jupiter and Neptune as rulers. The less flattering half: it swims in two directions and calls it strategy.

Mutable Water: that is the short version of FTSE Emerging Markets. The long version is that the sign is mutable, the quality that closes each season and adapts to whatever comes next, and that water signs run on feeling: they read the room before they read the numbers.

The rest of the sky

If the Sun is the public face, the Moon is what FTSE Emerging Markets does when nobody is watching. Here it is in Sagittarius, which gets restless the moment things settle. Sky notes for the record: a last quarter Moon, half lit and shrinking, read as a time of letting go of the old version; Mercury in Pisces, Venus in Pisces, Mars in Capricorn, Jupiter in Libra and Saturn in Cancer.

The numbers

Reduce March 4, 2005 digit by digit and numerology hands back Life Path 5, the free spirit, bored by anything that stays the same. Chinese astrology files VWO under a Wood Rooster year, precise, proud and up before everyone, with a Day Master of Yin Fire: fire warms the room and burns through fuel.

The name gets a vote too. "FTSE Emerging Markets" adds up to an Expression number of 8, the executive, the number numerology ties most closely to money and power. Its Soul Urge (vowels only) is 3 and its Personality (consonants only) is 5.
