Sun in Taurus
REM has its Sun in the middle of Taurus (10 degrees in), the sign of the bull. Tradition says Taurus builds slowly and then refuses to move, and gives it Venus as its ruler. The less flattering half: it calls stubbornness patience and is right about half the time.
Fixed Earth: that is the short version of iShares Mortgage Real Estate. The long version is that the sign is fixed, the quality that holds the middle of each season and does not budge, and that earth signs run on proof: they build, count and keep what works.
The rest of the sky
Under the Sun sign sits the Moon, in Scorpio here, and a Moon in Scorpio feels everything and admits to none of it. It was a full Moon, everything lit at once, which tradition reads as a very public arrival. The planets: Mercury in Taurus, Venus in Gemini, Mars in Pisces, Jupiter in Sagittarius and Saturn in Leo.
