What the chart says
Cecil, according to the stars
Core essence
Cecil is warm the way the sun is warm: not trying, just doing it. The core of Cecil is a big open heart and a need to be seen loving with it. They are generous with praise, with time, with the spotlight when they trust you, and they will remember every kindness you paid them for years. Loyal to a fault, and glad of the fault.
How Cecil wants to be loved
Cecil wants to be loved like home. Venus in Cancer needs to feel safe before it feels anything else, and then it feels everything. Remember the small things, meet the family, make the tea. Cecil gives care in a hundred quiet ways and needs to know it is noticed. Consistency is the romance.
How Cecil creates
How Cecil makes things happen: they are the ground everyone else stands on. A Yang Earth day master is the mountain, reliable, slow to move, immovable once it has. Cecil creates by holding: the plan, the people, the standard. They are trusted before they have said a word, and the work is remembering that mountains are allowed to want things too.
Instinct
Instinct: Cecil 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 Metal year sharpens it: principled, determined, clear about what is right.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 2 is the peacemaker. Cecil is here to bring people together, to feel the undercurrents and smooth them, to be the reason a room works. Sensitive, diplomatic, quietly essential, and learning that their own needs count too.
Triggers
Triggers: being bored, and being talked over. Mars in Gemini fights with words and wins, then forgets it happened. Cecil scatters energy across three projects at once and somehow finishes two. The trick is choosing the argument worth having.

Cecil B. DeMille in 15 seconds
Leo Sun
Leo SunLoves an audience. Earns one.
Cecil B. DeMille's Sun was in Leo for the whole of August 12, 1881, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Leo readings associate the sign with warmth, visibility and generosity: a natural claim on attention and a habit of handing it back as encouragement. Astrologers describe it as the fixed fire sign, ruled by the Sun. The corresponding tension is pride, with the classical caution that the need to be seen can crowd out people who would rather not be.
Metal Snake
Metal SnakePrivate by design.
Cecil B. DeMille was born on August 12, 1881, which falls in a Metal 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 2
Life Path 2Diplomat by instinct.
Cecil B. DeMille's birth date, August 12, 1881, reduces to Life Path 2 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 2 readings associate the number with cooperation, diplomacy and mediation: working alongside others and holding a group together. Numerologists describe it as the path of the partner, and read its influence as quiet rather than visible. The corresponding tension is self-effacement, with the caution that influence exercised through others can go uncounted, including by the person exercising it.
What stands out in Cecil’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Cecil B. DeMille's date-only chart is Saturn trine Uranus, with an orb of under 1°.
- Four planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto, sit together in Taurus, which astrologers call a stellium.
- Six of the ten planets fall in Fixed signs, making Fixed the strongest modality in this chart.
- Cecil B. DeMille combines an Earth Day Master in BaZi with a fixed Sun and a Life Path on the emotional plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Steadfast Guardian.
Cecil’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Cecil B. DeMille, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 22° to 6° Pisces or Aries 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.

Cecil’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.
⚷ ChironTaurus 22°35′ (moves 0.02° over the day)
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Taurus is read as a wound around security and worth. The reading has Cecil building steadiness by hand after finding it could not be assumed.
⚳ CeresSagittarius 10°35′ (moves 0.09° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Sagittarius is read as nurture through freedom and wider horizons. Cecil is read as someone who looks after people by giving them room.
♡ ErosCancer 18°52′ (moves 0.91° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Cancer is read as desire bound up with safety and memory. Cecil is read as drawn to people who feel like somewhere to come back to.
⚕ HygieaCancer 27°03′ (moves 0.33° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Cancer is read as health tied to home, mood and belonging. Cecil is read as someone who does not thrive far from a base.
⚸ Black Moon LilithLeo 6°16′ (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. Cecil 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 sextile Mars 0.6°
- Chiron conjunction Jupiter 1.9°
- Ceres square Uranus 2.0°
- Hygiea sextile Pluto 2.2°
- Eros sextile Neptune 2.3°
- Chiron square Sun 2.5°
- Hygiea sextile Jupiter 2.6°
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°).
Cecil’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. ☉ Sun8 pts
rules the Sun sign, Leo; in its own sign, Leo; disposes Mercury; 2 major aspects
2. ☿ Mercury4 pts
disposes Mars, Uranus; 2 major aspects
3. ♀ Venus4 pts
disposes Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Pluto
A Sun-led chart is read as identity out front: Cecil is read as someone whose sense of self organises everything else.
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 Cecil’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.
Stellium in Taurus · Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, PlutoThree or more planets in one sign (four, or three with a luminary, by AsterNym's count): a concentration astrologers read as that sign's themes dominating the chart.
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.
- Venus semi-sextile Mars 1.3°
- Sun semi-square Venus 1.9°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Cecil B. DeMille, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

Where this data comes from
Cecil’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q72267, 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.
