Ray Bradbury, screenwriter, was born on August 22, 1920 in Waukegan. With the Sun in Leo, Ray's chart begins from a Leo core. Without a recorded birth time, the Moon and angles can't be pinned precisely, but the planetary placements by date still hold.

Astrological profile

A lion‑heart radiates from the chart, with the Sun, Jupiter and Neptune all clustering at 29° Leo and Mercury sitting at 13° Leo, creating a tight Leo core. The Sun‑Jupiter conjunction swells confidence, optimism and a drive to expand personal expression, while Neptune’s presence in the same sign colors that expansion with imagination and a yearning for idealistic vision. Mercury’s proximity to Neptune deepens the mind’s poetic, almost mystical quality, suggesting a voice that weaves fantasy with philosophical yearning. The Moon in Sagittarius (11°) reinforces the fire‑dominant temperament, adding restless curiosity, a love of learning and a need for freedom that flavors emotional responses. Though the exact houses are unknown, the Sagittarius Moon’s fire tone merges with the Leo trio to amplify an outward‑looking, adventurous spirit.

Grounded in Virgo, Venus and Saturn (both 13°) lend a meticulous, service‑oriented approach to relationships and values, demanding practical refinement and disciplined affection. Mars in Scorpio (22°) injects intense will, deep emotional currents and transformative energy, while Pluto in Cancer (8°) points to hidden emotional depths that evolve through nurturing cycles. Uranus in Pisces (4°, retrograde) offers an inner, unconventional spirituality, suggesting subtle, intuitive shifts rather than overt rebellion. Together, these placements paint a chart that blends vivid self‑expression, philosophical wanderlust, and a disciplined, transformative undercurrent.
