Sun in Cancer
Sun in early Cancer (1 degrees in). That makes Waste Management a Cancer, the crab, a sign that carries its home on its back and decorates it. The ruler is the Moon. The known bug is that 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
If the Sun is the public face, the Moon is what Waste Management 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 Gemini, Venus in Gemini, Mars in Pisces, Jupiter in Taurus and Saturn in Sagittarius.
The numbers
Two more traditions, two more opinions. BaZi calls the year Earth Dragon, ambitious, flamboyant and fond of a grand entrance, and the day Yang Earth, because earth holds everything up and hates being rushed. Numerology reduces the date to Life Path 9, the humanitarian, thinking about everyone at once.
Then there is the name, which is the part of the chart a company chose. By Pythagorean numerology "Waste Management" is Expression 8, the executive, the number numerology ties most closely to money and power, with Soul Urge 9 and Personality 8.
WM 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 WM's birth date through it and the tally says The Long Bet.
