What the chart says
Raymond, according to the stars
The vibe
Underneath, Raymond processes by talking. The Moon in Gemini means a feeling is not real until it has been said out loud, ideally to two people, ideally with a joke attached. What Raymond needs to feel safe is someone who will listen to the whole thought, including the three tangents, without rushing them to a point.
How Raymond wants to be loved
Raymond wants to be loved in conversation. Venus in Gemini falls for a mind first: the banter, the shared joke, the person who keeps them guessing a little. Attention is the love language and boredom is the enemy. Keep talking to Raymond like it is the first week, and it can feel like it for years.
How Raymond creates
How Raymond makes things happen: they seep in. A Yin Water day master is rain, mist, the still pool that reflects everything. Raymond creates by sensing, by imagination, by noticing what nobody else said. Their influence is quiet and total. The work is not dissolving into everyone else's weather.
Instinct
Instinct: Raymond is wise and watchful, a Snake year, and their gut reaction is to observe before moving. Elegant, intuitive, private, and usually right about people long before saying so. The Fire year turns the volume up: warmer, bolder, more expressive, harder to overlook.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 8 is the powerhouse. Raymond is here to build something big and run it well: money, influence, a body of work with their name on it. Ambitious, capable, generous when winning, and learning that power is for lifting people.
Triggers
Triggers: being rushed, and being pushed. Mars in Taurus means Raymond is slow to anger and very hard to move once they are. Patience is the superpower, stubbornness its shadow. Let them set the pace and they are unstoppable in their own time.

No public birth time is available, so this is a 9:00 p.m. reference evening sky for that date and place.

Raymond Burr at a glance
Taurus or Gemini Sun
Raymond Burr was born on a day when the Sun moved from Taurus into Gemini. Without a documented birth time, the exact Sun sign cannot be determined reliably, so AsterNym shows both rather than choosing one.
Fire Snake
Fire SnakeSays less than it knows.
Raymond Burr was born on May 21, 1917, which falls in a Fire Snake year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Snake readings emphasise intelligence, composure and depth: thinking before speaking, and speaking less than it knows. The Chinese almanacs describe the Snake as the sage of the cycle, private and deliberate. The corresponding caution in the tradition is suspicion, with a tendency to hold a grudge as carefully as it holds a secret.
Life Path 8
Life Path 8Turns effort into standing.
Raymond Burr's birth date, May 21, 1917, reduces to Life Path 8 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 8 readings associate the number with ambition, authority and material results: turning sustained effort into visible achievement. Numerologists describe it as the path of the executive. The corresponding tension is control, with the caution that a number this good at managing outcomes can begin managing people the same way.
What stands out in Raymond’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Raymond Burr's date-only chart is Mercury square Uranus, with an orb of about 1°.
- Three planets, Mercury, Mars and Jupiter, sit together in Taurus, which astrologers call a stellium.
- Five of the ten planets fall in Fixed signs, making Fixed the strongest modality in this chart.
Raymond’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Raymond Burr, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 3° to 16° Gemini depending on the hour. The wheel's houses are a solar chart, counted from the Sun's sign, because the Ascendant needs a time.
No birth time, so the houses are a solar chart: the Sun’s sign counts as house 1. A documented time would place them from the Ascendant instead.

Raymond’s Chiron, Ceres, Eros, Hygiea and Lilith
Four minor bodies and the mean lunar apogee, placed in the same tropical zodiac as the planets above. None of these feed the chart signature, the rarity score or any ranking on this site: they are listed for readers who use them. Chiron, Ceres, Eros and Hygiea positions come from JPL Horizons; Black Moon Lilith is the mean apogee, the point most published Lilith tables use. The readings are the modern tradition’s, not AsterNym’s. Without a birth time the degree is the noon value and the day's movement is shown alongside it.
⚷ ChironPisces 29°11′ (moves 0.03° over the day)
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Pisces is read as a wound around boundaries and faith. The reading has Raymond absorbing more of a room than most, and needing somewhere to put it down.
⚳ CeresVirgo 11°08′ (moves 0.19° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Virgo is read as nurture through usefulness: fixing, sorting, noticing. The reading has Raymond caring in practical detail rather than in words.
♡ Eros ℞Scorpio 13°58′ (moves 0.31° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Scorpio sits in the sign the tradition links to it most closely: desire as depth and total exposure. Raymond is read as uninterested in anything half-felt.
⚕ HygieaAquarius 9°21′ (moves 0.09° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Aquarius is read as health through the unconventional: odd hours, own methods. Raymond is read as someone who ignores the standard advice and sometimes proves it wrong.
⚸ Black Moon LilithLeo 21°47′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Leo is read as a pride that will not perform on demand. Raymond is read as most dangerous when underestimated.
Aspects to the asteroids and Lilith
Major aspects only, at a tight 3° orb. The Moon is left out because its position moves 13° across an untimed day.
- Black Moon Lilith square Jupiter 0.6°
- Black Moon Lilith square Mercury 0.8°
- Chiron sextile Sun 1.0°
- Ceres trine Mars 1.4°
- Eros opposition Mars 1.4°
- Black Moon Lilith opposition Uranus 1.9°
- Hygiea trine Venus 2.4°
- Chiron trine Saturn 2.8°
Method: JPL Horizons heliocentric vectors, 1700–2100, cubic Hermite interpolation; geocentric, true ecliptic of date, tropical; geometric (no light-time or aberration); Lilith = mean lunar apogee (Chapront/Meeus mean perigee + 180°).
Raymond’s dominant planets
Scored from rulerships, dispositors and aspect count. Without a birth time there is no Ascendant or house to score, and the Moon's sign is left out where it could change with the hour.
1. ☿ Mercury8 pts
rules the Sun sign, Gemini; disposes Sun, Venus; 3 major aspects
2. ☉ Sun5 pts
disposes Neptune; 4 major aspects
3. ♅ Uranus5 pts
in its own sign, Aquarius; 3 major aspects
A Mercury-led chart is read as the mind in charge: Raymond is read as thinking, talking and connecting their way through life.
How the score is built
- Rules the Sun sign, Moon sign or Ascendant sign: 3 points each (traditional co-rulers of Scorpio, Aquarius and Pisces score half).
- Sits in a sign it rules: 2 points.
- Disposes another planet (that planet sits in a sign it rules): 1 point each.
- Angular: 2 points in the first or tenth house, 1 point in the fourth or seventh (timed births only).
- Every major aspect it makes: 1 point.
Dominance scoring is an AsterNym method. Other sites weight differently and can name a different leader for the same chart.
Configurations in Raymond’s chart
Closed shapes among the ten planets under the site’s one aspect-orb policy. The Moon is excluded without a birth time, so a shape that needs it is not claimed.
No stellium, grand trine, T-square, grand cross, yod or kite closes among the planets that can be placed. That is the common case, not a gap.
Minor aspects
semi-sextile 30° (orb 2°), semi-square 45° (orb 2°), quintile 72° (orb 1.5°), sesquiquadrate 135° (orb 2°), biquintile 144° (orb 1.5°), quincunx 150° (orb 2.5°). Pairs already in a major aspect are not repeated. Moon excluded without a birth time.
- Neptune semi-sextile Pluto 0.6°
- Jupiter quintile Neptune 0.7°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Raymond Burr, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

No birth time is on public record for Raymond Burr, so this chart has three pillars rather than four. The hour pillar, the rising sign and the birth-sky star all need a time, and we would rather leave them out than invent one.
Where this data comes from
Raymond’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q336877, released under CC0, as do the occupations, works, teams and awards in the biography above. No documented birth time is available, so this chart is rated X on the Rodden scale, the astrological convention for how well evidenced a birth time is. Time-dependent results use a clearly labelled reference time and should not be read as their exact birth chart. Entries are matched to Wikidata by entity id rather than by name, kept only at day precision, and dropped where sources disagree on the date.

Quick answers about Raymond Burr’s chart
- What zodiac sign was Raymond Burr?
- Raymond Burr was born on a day when the Sun moved from Taurus into Gemini. Without a documented birth time, the exact Sun sign cannot be determined reliably, so AsterNym shows both rather than choosing one. In the Chinese zodiac they were a Fire Snake.
- What was Raymond Burr's Chinese zodiac animal?
- The Snake, with the Fire element, from the Chinese lunar year of the May 21, 1917 birth.
- What time was Raymond Burr born?
- No reliably documented birth time is public, so AsterNym does not calculate an Ascendant. This chart uses date-only positions: the wheel shows a reference solar chart (the Sun's sign as house 1), and the Ascendant is left uncomputed instead of guessed from an unverified time.
- What was Raymond Burr's Life Path number?
- Life Path 8, calculated in numerology from the May 21, 1917 birth date.
- What was Raymond Burr's Chiron sign?
- Chiron in Pisces at 29°. Position from JPL Horizons for the May 21, 1917 birth date.
- Where was Raymond Burr's Black Moon Lilith?
- Mean Black Moon Lilith in Leo at 21°. This is the mean lunar apogee; the osculating Lilith some tables use can sit up to 30° away.
- What was Raymond Burr's dominant planet?
- Mercury, on AsterNym's dominance score (8 points: rules the Sun sign, Gemini; disposes Sun, Venus; 3 major aspects). Sun is second and Uranus third. Other sites weight rulerships and aspects differently and can name a different leader.
