Bo Burnham Natal Info

[Lance]

I hope you've seen Bo Burnham's INSIDE, a completely self-produced, written, and performed musical comedy and drama piece about life in pandemic isolation. It's on Netflix, and it's awesome.

I saw some more of him speaking before an audience on social media, and it got me wondering about his natal chart. I've summarized his information below.

I was struck by his passion, emotiveness, and skill in communicating his ideas, and I was betting on Pisces or some prominent Neptune at least. I was rewarded by a Sun-Neptune aspect; an angular Mercury aspected by Venus, Mars, and Saturn; and a weakly foreground Moon.

Interesting. Until this moment, I've never heard of him or this work. We'll probably check it out. Thanks.

A double Leo, eh? With Moon a mere 0°03' from square a foreground Taurus Mars (in mundo) and Sun closely square Pluto. That sounds like a wicked, out of bounds sense of humor. In fact, his Moon aspects all three malefics ("What doesn't kill me is material!") and his Sun with all three outer planets (whacked!).

For double Leos in entertainment, I have nobody except opera's Janet Baker, but there are ample powerful politicians (Franz Joseph, LBJ, George Wallace, etc.). I suppose it's a minor observation that he wants to be the guy in charge.

TMSA? Is that Mikes’s software?

And you nailed him on the sense of humor.

TMSA? Is that Mikes’s software?

Yes. "Time Matters Sidereal Astrology."

It's coming along nicely, eh?
