Ray Bradbury’s birth chart
Born August 22, 1920 in Waukegan at 16:50.
Leo Sun · Sagittarius Moon · Capricorn rising · Fire · Fixed
Sun
♌Leo
29° Leo 27'
You shine. Warmth, generosity and a need to be seen for who you really are run through everything you do. A Leo Sun grows by learning that the light is not diminished when it is shared.
Moon
♐Sagittarius
15° Sagittarius 26'
You feel best in motion. Open roads, new ideas and honest laughter lift you, and being fenced in by other people's moods weighs you down. You need room, and someone who thinks that is fine.
Rising
♑Capricorn
6° Capricorn 50'
You come across as composed, capable and older than your age when young, then younger than your age later. People hand you responsibility without asking.

Ray Bradbury's full reading
Each planet by sign and house. First-draft readings in the StarMap voice, reviewed by our consulting astrologer before launch.
☉Sun in Leo
♌ 29° Leo 27' · eighth house
purpose and vitality
Purpose for they i tied to creating and being genuinely seen doing it, and their vitality rises the moment they have an audience, even an audience of one. The tension is losing steam when no one is watching. It shows up as the extra effort they put into something the moment someone notices they making it.
Ray is drawn to what lies beneath the surface, in themselves and in the people close to they, and shallow exchanges leave they genuinely cold. Trust, once earned, becomes the ground they build their identity on, and they rarely open up before that trust exists.
☽Moon in Sagittarius
♐ 15° Sagittarius 26' · eleventh house
needs and habits
They need room to move and a bit of novelty in their routine to feel emotionally well. A schedule with no give in it makes they edgy faster than most people expect. It shows up as planning the next trip before the current one has even finished.
They feel most at ease surrounded by friends who share their outlook and their sense of what matters in the world. A sense of not belonging to any group can quietly unsettle they, while a steady community feels like part of their emotional foundation.
☿Mercury in Leo
♌ 13° Leo 38' · seventh house
mind and voice
They think in confident, story-shaped terms and communicate with warmth and a bit of flair, drawing people in even when the subject is dry. The tension is being more persuasive than accurate when Ray is attached to being right. It shows up as turning a simple update into something closer to a performance.
They think best out loud with another person, and they often need to talk an idea through with a partner before it truly feels settled in their mind. Negotiation and dialogue come naturally to they, and one-sided decisions rarely sit comfortably for long.
♀Venus in Virgo
♍ 13° Virgo 14' · eighth house
love and values
They love through small, practical acts of service, and they value competence and reliability in a partner. The tension is critiquing the people they love the most, mistaking notes for care. It shows up as fixing a partner's problem before they have simply listened to it.
Ray is drawn to intimacy that runs deep rather than intimacy that stays comfortably light, and trust is something they build slowly and value highly once it exists. Shared resources feel more meaningful to they when the underlying bond behind them is genuinely real.
♂Mars in Scorpio
♏ 21° Scorpio 59' · tenth house
drive and anger
They act with focus and intensity, and their anger, when it surfaces, is controlled, cutting and hard to forget. The tension is holding onto a grievance well past its useful life. It shows up as a calm exterior that gives little warning before a genuinely sharp response.
Ambition drives they here, and Ray is willing to push hard toward a public goal once they have properly set their sights on it. Competition at work tends to sharpen their focus rather than intimidate they, and a real challenge often brings out their best effort.
♃Jupiter in Leo
♌ 29° Leo 03' · eighth house
growth and excess
They grow through creative confidence and a willingness to take up space. The overreach is overselling their own contribution or expecting more credit than a situation calls for. It shows up as a natural showmanship that lifts a room, and occasionally a story that grows a little in the retelling.
They approach intimacy and shared resources with a certain quiet faith that things will work out fairly between they and the people they trust most. Deep transformation, when it comes, tends to leave they wiser and more open rather than wary or guarded afterward.
♄Saturn in Virgo
♍ 13° Virgo 00' · eighth house
discipline and doubt
They build discipline around competence, often driven by a fear that they have not yet done enough to deserve rest. The doubt shows up as feeling like a fraud even when their actual track record says otherwise. It shows up as becoming genuinely, quietly excellent at something long before they will admit it out loud.
Trust and intimacy may have been hard won for they, built slowly over time rather than given away easily or quickly to just anyone. What they eventually share with someone after that trust is properly earned tends to run deep and to last a long time.
♅Uranus in Pisces
♓ 3° Pisces 52' ℞ · second house
freedom, generational
Shared across this generational span, this placement marks people who transform spirituality, art and collective imagination, often blurring boundaries earlier generations kept firm. Personally, it can show up as an openness to ideas that resist neat categories.
Their relationship with money and values tends to shift unexpectedly over time, and conventional ideas about what counts as worth rarely satisfy they for very long. They may find real security in unconventional ways of earning or valuing things that most people would overlook entirely.
♆Neptune in Leo
♌ 11° Leo 58' · seventh house
imagination, generational
Shared by everyone born in this span of years, this placement marks a generation that dreams in terms of fame, spectacle and larger-than-life self-expression. Personally, it can show up as a pull toward performance as a way of feeling real.
They may idealize partners or blur the line between who they truly are and who they hope or imagine them to be. Disappointment can follow when reality does not quite match the dream they built, though compassion still runs remarkably deep in how they love someone.
♇Pluto in Cancer
♋ 8° Cancer 29' · seventh house
power, generational
Shared across this generation, this placement marks people who live through deep transformation of family, home and nationhood. Personally, it can show up as intensity around questions of belonging and who counts as family.
Their closest partnerships tend to be transformative, sometimes bringing up real power struggles before genuine trust has a chance to settle in fully. Once that trust is actually built between they, the bond tends to run unusually deep and to hold under real pressure.
Aspects
How the planets in Ray Bradbury's chart talk to each other, tightest first.
Venus conjunction Saturn
0.2° separating
Their capacity for love is serious and committed, and they take relationships as something to build rather than simply enjoy. This makes they genuinely loyal, and the edge is trusting that they deserve affection they have not had to earn first.
Sun conjunction Jupiter
0.4° separating
Their identity carries a natural optimism and a generous sense of scale, so they tend to think bigger than the room requires. Confidence comes easily to they, and the discipline worth building is matching that faith with follow-through.
Mercury conjunction Neptune
1.7° separating
Their thinking is imaginative and impressionistic, working through images and instinct as much as straight logic. This gives they real creative and intuitive strength, and the edge is checking a compelling idea against the facts before they fully commit to it.
Moon trine Mercury
1.8° separating
Their feelings and their thinking flow together easily, so they can usually explain what they feel almost as soon as they feel it. This makes they a natural, comforting communicator in emotional moments, the kind of person others call first when something has gone wrong.
