Sun in Sagittarius
The Sun sat in late Sagittarius (24 degrees in). Sagittarius is the archer, ruled by Jupiter: a sign that aims far, travels widely and promises big. For Consumer Discretionary Select Sector that reads as a character that announces the destination before checking the map, and one that is optimistic in a way that needs supervision.
Its element is Fire. Fire signs run on enthusiasm: they start things, and they would like you to watch. Its quality is mutable, the quality that closes each season and adapts to whatever comes next.
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
Reduce December 16, 1998 digit by digit and numerology hands back Life Path 1, the self-starter who would rather lead than be consulted.

Then there is the name, which is the part of the chart a company chose. By Pythagorean numerology "Consumer Discretionary Select Sector" is Expression 7, the researcher, who wants to know why before anything else, with Soul Urge 11/2 and Personality 5.
XLY as a person
