Burl Ives’s birth chart

Burl Ives's full reading

Each planet by sign. First-draft readings in the StarMap voice, reviewed by our consulting astrologer before launch.

1. ☉Sun in Gemini

   ♊ 22° Gemini 59'

   purpose and vitality

   Their vitality comes from variety, and purpose feels most real when Burl is learning or explaining something new. The tension is scattering their energy across too many half-finished things at once. It shows up as the stack of open tabs and the three hobbies Burl is juggling this month.

2. ☽Moon in Taurus

   ♉ 11° Taurus 20'

   needs and habits

   They need routine, familiar food and physical comfort to feel steady from day to day. Sudden schedule changes unsettle they more than they let on. It shows up in how much a good bed, a favourite mug or the same coffee order can turn an unsteady morning around.

3. ☿Mercury in Gemini

   ♊ 23° Gemini 19' ℞

   mind and voice

   Their mind moves fast across many subjects at once, and they communicate easily in almost any setting. The tension is skimming the surface of a topic and moving on before they have gone deep enough to be sure of it. It shows up as knowing a little about a great many things.

4. ♀Venus in Cancer

   ♋ 5° Cancer 35'

   love and values

   They love by nurturing, and they value emotional safety over almost anything else in a relationship. The tension is holding onto old hurts long after the person who caused them has changed. It shows up as feeding people, checking on people and quietly keeping score of who has shown up for they.

5. ♂Mars in Pisces

   ♓ 11° Pisces 55'

   drive and anger

   They act indirectly, often through avoidance or quiet withdrawal rather than confrontation, and their anger can turn into sadness before they have even named it as anger. The tension is absorbing conflict rather than addressing it. It shows up as needing to physically leave a tense room before they can work out what they feel.

6. ♃Jupiter in Virgo

   ♍ 7° Virgo 18'

   growth and excess

   They grow through mastering a craft in genuine, unglamorous detail, one small correction at a time. The overreach is perfectionism that turns growth into an endless list of corrections. It shows up as being trusted with more responsibility than they think they have earned, largely because they actually have.

7. ♄Saturn in Aries

   ♈ 21° Aries 02'

   discipline and doubt

   They build discipline around learning to act with patience instead of pure impulse, and the doubt shows up as second-guessing whether they moved too fast or not fast enough. It shows up as a slow-earned confidence in their own initiative that finally arrives once they stop rushing every decision.

8. ♅Uranus in Capricorn

   ♑ 20° Capricorn 08' ℞

   freedom, generational

   Shared by everyone born in this span, this placement marks a generation that dismantles and rebuilds old institutions and authority structures. Personally, it can show up as scepticism toward systems that ask for trust without having earned it.

9. ♆Neptune in Cancer

   ♋ 15° Cancer 55'

   imagination, generational

   Shared across this generation, this placement marks people who idealise home and family, often carrying a wider cultural nostalgia for a version of belonging that may never have quite existed. Personally, it can show up as a soft-focus longing for a childhood home.

10. ♇Pluto in Gemini

    ♊ 25° Gemini 16'

    power, generational

    Shared by everyone born in this span, this placement marks a generation that transforms communication and collective thought itself, often through upheavals in how information is controlled and shared. Personally, it can show up as an intense relationship with what counts as truth.

Aspects

How the planets in Burl Ives's chart talk to each other, tightest first.

1. Sun conjunction Mercury

   0.3° applying

   Their sense of self and the way they think are fused, so their opinions feel like statements of who Burl is. They speak their mind readily, and separating a passing thought from their identity takes practice worth doing.

2. Moon sextile Mars

   0.6° applying

   Their feelings and their drive cooperate, making it easier to act on an emotional instinct without much overthinking. This is a useful, everyday kind of emotional courage that shows up most in the small moments nobody else notices.

3. Saturn square Uranus

   0.9° separating

   Their need for stability and their need for freedom can clash, showing up as either rigid routines that eventually snap or sudden breaks from commitments they had made in good faith. The lesson is designing structure loose enough to bend before it has to break.

4. Venus sextile Jupiter

   1.7° applying

   Their affections and their optimism cooperate easily, making warmth and generosity come naturally without overextending. This is comfortable, low-effort goodwill, the kind that makes people feel welcome around they without they needing to perform it.
