How you think out loud, how you listen, what holds your attention.Venus 13°31′ VirgoVenus rules love, taste, money, and pleasure. What you find beautiful, who you reach for, how you receive. Less about romance per se and more about what you let in.Mars 29°07′ LibraMars is the engine — desire, anger, drive, sex. How you start things, what you defend, where you push back.Jupiter 7°47′ VirgoJupiter is the principle of expansion — where you grow, where you stretch, where you say yes. Also where you overdo. The placement describes the room you have to become bigger than you have been.
