Thank you!  I wish I could think of something incredibly bright to say
in response, but, oh, well... :-)

Another thing that occurs to me to wonder about (since I sometimes
wonder how much impact on the meaning of planets in signs dispositors
actually have) is what signs the Tauruses had Venus in and what signs
the Virgos had Mercury in.

Maybe Tauruses with Venus in Gemini or Aries tend to be more active in
general (and more likely to enjoy basketball) than Tauruses with Venus
in Taurus or Venus in Cancer.  Meanwhile, the Virgos might have either
Mercury in Leo, Virgo, or Libra - maybe Mercury in Leo and Virgo are
most common?

Just some naive guesses, no idea what will turn out to be the actual
facts (which is why I'm asking).  :-)

Thanks for the delightful astrology fair stories, etc.
