What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Virgo, the Fixer
Modest about a great deal of skill. Cares through careful, useful help, and has a wit that catches people off guard. Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.
The Sun conjunction Venus (wide at 5.8°)
What he needed
Moon in Libra or Virgo, the Peacemaker
Unsettled by conflict and soothed by kindness. Needs good company and a sense that things are fair. Quick feelings and a quick temper: he reacted first, and his courage came from the same place as his flashes of anger.
The Moon square Mars (almost exact at 0.3°) · For a birth before 11:52 a.m., his Moon was in Virgo.
How he loved
Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic
Shows love through care, help and attention to small things. A romantic with an artist’s eye: he saw the beauty in people and made it visible to others.
Venus trine Neptune (almost exact at 0.1°)
How he thought
Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst
Precise, practical and clever. Notices the detail everyone else missed. A probing mind: he got to the bottom of things, and his words had power when he chose to use them.
Mercury trine Pluto (wide at 5.2°)
What drove him
Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever
Determined, controlled and built for the long climb. Works patiently toward the top. Big drive and big confidence: he went after large goals, and his enthusiasm carried others along.
Mars sextile Jupiter (close at 1.3°)
The shape of his chart
Mars is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his drive touched everything else in it. No water at all, so feelings came out in actions more than in words.
The sky the day he was born
The Moon
Edgar Rice Burroughs was born two days after a new Moon. At noon that day the Moon was 3% lit. Tonight’s Moon
The day
