Ed Wood’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
10 October 1924 was a Friday: the day Ed Wood was born in Poughkeepsie, New York. That made Ed a Libra, with the Moon in Pisces. Ed died on 10 December 1978, aged 54. StarMap has no verified birth time for Ed, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
Water carries the most weight: four of the ten planets, against air three, fire two and earth one. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is three, three and four. The tightest aspect is Venus sextile Saturn, about 0.5° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Uranus was retrograde. The Moon was waxing gibbous, between first quarter and full.
StarMap's dataset holds 18 other people born on 10 October, among them Harold Pinter, Pavel Durov and Helen Hayes.
Ed Wood’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Libra
about 17° Libra at midday
A Libra Sun balances. Fairness, beauty and the quality of relationships tend to shape Ed Wood's decisions, and this is a placement that can see both sides of almost anything. The growth lies in choosing a side when it counts.
Moon sign
Pisces
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
With the Moon in Pisces, Ed may well pick up the mood of a whole room. Music, water, sleep and imagination tend to restore them, and it matters whose moods they carry home. The empathy of this Moon is a gift that needs a door.
Rising sign
The rising sign changes about every two hours, so it cannot be known without a birth time. The table below shows which sign was rising over Poughkeepsie, New York, at each hour of the day.
Ed Wood’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Ed yet. It shows a birth time only when Astro-Databank rates it AA, A or B on the Rodden scale (AA from a birth certificate or record, A from the person, someone close to them or a news report, B from a biography). Until then, this is the rising sign for every possible time of birth on 10 October 1924, computed for Poughkeepsie, New York.

Ed Wood’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Ed Wood’s private life.
Sun in Libra
17° Libra 06' at midday
purpose and vitality
With the Sun in Libra, Ed Wood's vitality is likely to rise in good company, and purpose to feel real when they are creating balance or beauty with other people. The risk is losing their own direction while managing everyone else's. Deciding alone is probably harder for them than deciding with a second opinion in the room.
Moon in Pisces
Pisces, all day
needs and habits
The Moon in Pisces makes for a porous daily mood, one that picks up the emotional temperature of a room without choosing to. Quiet, music or time near water probably restores Ed more than talking things out. It can be easy for them to miss how much of what they feel belongs to someone else.
Mercury in Libra
6° Libra 02' at midday
mind and voice
Mercury in Libra thinks by weighing both sides, and Ed tends to communicate diplomatically, often finding the version of an idea that will land well with whoever is listening. Settling on an opinion can take so long that the moment for it passes. They may change their mind in the middle of a conversation because the other point had merit.
Venus in Virgo
3° Virgo 29' at midday
love and values
With Venus in Virgo, Ed is likely to love through small, practical acts of service and to value competence and reliability in a partner. People with this Venus tend to be hardest on those they love most, and can mistake giving notes for giving care. They may try to fix a partner's problem before simply listening to it.
Mars in Aquarius
27° Aquarius 30' at midday
drive and anger
Mars in Aquarius acts on principle, and its anger surfaces most over unfairness or hypocrisy rather than personal slights. Ed can detach from a conflict so thoroughly that the other person feels shut out. The issue tends to get argued with heat while the relationship itself is treated with strange calm.
Jupiter in Sagittarius
15° Sagittarius 51' at midday
growth and excess
With Jupiter in Sagittarius, Ed is likely to grow through travel, study and direct experience of things bigger than ordinary life. The excess may be promising more than circumstances can deliver, out of optimism rather than dishonesty. This Jupiter carries a conviction that things will work out, and other people borrow it when theirs runs low.
Saturn in Scorpio
2° Scorpio 58' at midday
discipline and doubt
Saturn in Scorpio builds its discipline around trust and control, and for Ed letting go of either is unlikely to come easily. The doubt is bracing for betrayal even in relationships that have given no reason for it. Comfort with vulnerability can come in the end, and the work it takes is seldom seen by others.
Uranus in Pisces
18° Pisces 27' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Ed has Uranus in Pisces in common with a generation. That generation transforms spirituality, art and collective imagination, often blurring boundaries that earlier ones kept firm. In one person it may be noticed as an openness to ideas that resist neat categories.
Neptune in Leo
22° Leo 01' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Leo is the imagination of an age group, not of Ed alone. It dreams in terms of fame, spectacle and larger-than-life self-expression. The trace of it in one person is a pull towards performance as a way of feeling real.
Pluto in Cancer
13° Cancer 33' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Cancer dates Ed to an era rather than describing one person. Those born in it live through deep transformation of family, home and nationhood. What an individual may carry is intensity around belonging and who counts as family.
Aspects in Ed Wood’s chart
How the planets stand to each other, tightest first. Without a birth time the orbs are those at midday, and aspects to the Moon are left out because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day.
Venus sextile Saturn
about 0.5° at midday
This sextile tends to lend a workable, grounded steadiness to Ed Wood's relationships, since affection and a sense of structure get along. Once Ed decides a commitment is right, it usually comes naturally, without the drama that faster, less considered relationships sometimes carry.
Sun sextile Jupiter
about 1.2° at midday
Optimism is part of who Ed is, and it tends to show them open doors, provided they are willing to walk through. With some deliberate effort behind it, the outlook of a Sun-Jupiter sextile becomes momentum that carries past the first burst of enthusiasm.
Jupiter square Uranus
about 2.6° at midday
An appetite for growth can turn erratic under Jupiter square Uranus, with sudden changes of direction that leave earlier plans unfinished. The instinct for change this square gives Ed is a good one, and it does most when channelled into fewer, more deliberate moves that get to see the finish line.
Sun square Pluto
about 3.5° at midday
With this aspect, Ed's identity can get entangled in struggles over control, whether inwardly or with people who challenge them. Whenever Ed chooses to change rather than to dominate, the friction turns into hard-won strength they can rely on the next time things get difficult.
Sun sextile Neptune
about 4.9° at midday
Creativity and empathy are there when Ed makes room for them, because identity and imagination work gently together in this aspect. The sensitivity is soft, and people notice it without it having to be announced.
Mars trine Saturn
about 5.5° at midday
Staying power on long, difficult goals is what Mars trine Saturn offers, with drive and discipline reinforcing each other. Ed is likely to get more done, more consistently, than the visible effort would suggest, which is a quiet advantage over time.
The rest, listed without a reading. Those between Uranus, Neptune and Pluto hold for years at a time, so everyone born while one holds shares it.

How this page is made
Planet positions are computed with the astronomy-engine ephemeris and checked against Swiss Ephemeris. Birth dates and places come from Wikidata; birth times, where StarMap has one, come from Astro-Databank and are shown with their Rodden rating. The readings describe what a placement is traditionally taken to mean. They are written by StarMap for reflection and entertainment, not as statements about the person’s private life. New to charts?
