Sun in Sagittarius
On that date the Sun was in late Sagittarius (24 degrees in), so XLP is a Sagittarius. In the tradition that is the archer, which aims far, travels widely and promises big. It also is optimistic in a way that needs supervision, which is less often put in the prospectus.
Fire signs run on enthusiasm: they start things, and they would like you to watch. Sagittarius is also mutable, the quality that closes each season and adapts to whatever comes next. Put together, XLP is fire and mutable.
The rest of the sky
Moon in Scorpio: the mood that feels everything and admits to none of it. Phase: a waning crescent, the last sliver before dark, read as rest and quiet preparation. And Mercury in Sagittarius, Venus in Capricorn, Mars in Libra, Jupiter in Pisces and Saturn in Aries, for completeness.
The numbers

Chinese astrology files XLP under an Earth Tiger year, bold, restless and keen to arrive loudly, with a Day Master of Yin Fire: fire warms the room and burns through fuel.
