Indication of Burlesque Dancers in Astrology?
I'm trying to make sense of this chart. Any hints?

I've looked at a few dancers' charts and it's striking how many of them have Venus and Mars in vocational houses (2nd, 6th and 10th)

Maybe moon or Venus in Cap? I don't think there's much info on this, so theoretical here.

I guess it’s just a fancy term for a stripper, which falls under sex work. That makes is easier to determine that it’s Venusian.

Not so. Burlesque is a risque form of dancing, but the performance of it is more akin to ballet, tap, etc: dancer is a stage performer, not interacting directly with the audience, and certainly not getting money thrown at her during the show. It isn't sex work. It is Venusian, as all art forms are, but a burlesque dancer and a stripper are not the same thing. This article explains the difference. https://21stcenturyburlesque.com/bur...om%20stripping.

People from other type of work that’s from the same line (like exotic dancing), like to distance themselves from the word stripper because of negative connotations. I don’t see it as negative.
I wonder if it’s the same thing that’s happening here. The article keeps associating burlesque dancing with high class by putting more “noble” sounding verbs. While stripper is reduced to something mechanical and less refined (I disagree).
Also I disagree that a burlesque dancer doesn’t interact with the audience.. they can. Several burlesque dancers also view themselves as sex workers.
In its core stripping is just dancing too, and requires talent and practice.
