The Craftsman

The strength

Venus given a working mind by Mercury. You do not only want the beautiful thing, you want to understand how it is made — and then make it better. The most practically skilled of the three, and the best with your hands.

The difficulty

The analysis becomes the hiding place. You will refine a thing indefinitely rather than release it, and call the delay craftsmanship. It is sometimes fear.

In love

You court through usefulness and conversation both. Warmer than a Virgo and far more grounded than a Gemini — you want someone you can talk to and also sit with in silence.

At work

Making, fixing, building, editing, trading. Any field where the difference between good and excellent is visible to a trained eye and invisible to everyone else.
