Two themes run through Ed's horoscope. One is Neptune and the sign it
rules Pisces, the other is the sign Libra and the ruling planet Venus.
Neptune/Pisces individuals live for a dream of a more perfect world. Our real evryday world is very ugly to them. There are three ways Neptune/Pisces people can deal with this tension between the idealised fantasy world and the harsh real world. One way is to become the victim of the harsh world and wait for a saviour -- Ed took this road through alcoholism in the latter part of his life. The second way of dealing with the ideal vs. real tension is to become the saviour -- Ed did this in his movie making career by resurrecting various actors from oblivion (Bela, Vampira, Tor). The last way of dealing with the perfect verses the imperfect is to be the artist who creates the vision of the perfect world == I leave the analysis of how Ed may have taken this path to the reader.
