What the chart says
Cillian, according to the stars
Core essence
Cillian is two conversations at once and somehow following both. Curiosity is the core of it: the quick question, the sideways joke, the friend who texts you an article at midnight because it reminded them of you. Cillian needs newness the way other people need sleep, and gives the people around them the gift of never being bored.
How Cillian wants to be loved
Cillian wants to be loved slowly and for real. Venus in Taurus is touch, food, the good blanket, the plan that does not change. They are sensual and steady and they want to be shown, not told: the small physical kindnesses count double. Once Cillian is yours, they stay, and they expect the same.
How Cillian creates
How Cillian makes things happen: they hold the flame steady. A Yin Fire day master is the candle, the lamp, the light that is close and personal rather than blazing. Cillian creates intimacy, one room, one conversation, one person made to feel seen. Moody when the fuel runs low, magnetic when it does not.
Instinct
Instinct: Cillian is larger than life, a Dragon year, and their gut reaction is to go big. Confident, lucky, a natural at the centre of things, and warm-hearted underneath the spectacle. The Fire year turns the volume up: warmer, bolder, more expressive, harder to overlook.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 8 is the powerhouse. Cillian 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 ignored, or being made small. Mars in Leo means Cillian fights with pride and flair and needs the win to be seen. Generous in victory, dramatic in defeat, and never, ever petty for long. Give them the stage and the fire becomes warmth.

The quick version
Gemini Sun
Gemini SunNever finishes a book. Reads everything.
Cillian Murphy's Sun was in Gemini for the whole of May 25, 1976, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Gemini readings associate the sign with curiosity, conversation and range: several interests held at once and a talent for connecting people and ideas. Astrologers describe it as the mutable air sign, ruled by Mercury. The corresponding tension is restlessness, with the classical caution that the next subject is always more interesting than finishing the current one.
Fire Dragon
Fire DragonConfident before the proof.
Cillian Murphy was born on May 25, 1976, which falls in a Fire Dragon year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Dragon readings emphasise confidence, luck and scale: the only mythical animal in the cycle, associated with ambition and with attention that arrives whether or not it was sought. The Chinese almanacs describe the Dragon as the sign of large gestures. The corresponding caution in the tradition is arrogance, and a difficulty with tasks too small to be seen.
Life Path 8
Life Path 8Ambition with a spreadsheet.
Cillian Murphy's birth date, May 25, 1976, 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 Cillian’s chart

- Three planets, Mercury, Venus 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.
- Cillian Murphy combines a Fire Day Master in BaZi with a mutable Sun and a Life Path on the mental plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Radiant Storyteller.
Cillian’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Cillian Murphy, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 18° to 0° Aries or Taurus 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.

Cillian’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.
⚷ ChironAries 29°51′ (moves 0.05° over the day)
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Aries is read as a sore spot around asserting oneself: Cillian may have learnt early that going first costs something, and built a way of leading that does not need permission.
⚳ CeresCancer 6°23′ (moves 0.42° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Cancer sits in the sign the tradition links to it most closely: care as instinct. Cillian is read as someone for whom looking after others is not a decision.
♡ ErosTaurus 1°26′ (moves 0.71° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Taurus is read as desire through the senses and through time. The reading has Cillian wanting what can be touched, kept and returned to.
⚕ HygieaCancer 14°28′ (moves 0.31° 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. Cillian is read as someone who does not thrive far from a base.
⚸ Black Moon LilithAries 22°56′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Aries is read as the refusal to be second. The modern reading has Cillian carrying an anger that is cleaner than it looks and a need to act on it.
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.
- Hygiea sextile Jupiter 0.3°
- Chiron square Saturn 0.9°
- Ceres trine Uranus 2.5°
- Eros square Saturn 2.5°
- Eros opposition Uranus 2.5°
- Ceres square Pluto 2.7°
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°).
Cillian’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. ♀ Venus8 pts
in its own sign, Taurus; disposes Mercury, Jupiter, Pluto; 3 major aspects
2. ☿ Mercury6 pts
rules the Sun sign, Gemini; disposes Sun; 2 major aspects
3. ☉ Sun4 pts
disposes Mars; 3 major aspects
A Venus-led chart is read as taste and relationship setting the terms: Cillian is read as choosing by what is beautiful and who is in the room.
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 Cillian’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.
- Sun quincunx Uranus 0.4°
- Jupiter biquintile Pluto 0.9°
- Saturn sesquiquadrate Neptune 1.1°
- Jupiter quincunx Neptune 1.4°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Cillian Murphy, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.
Born the same day as Cillian
Ethan Suplee was born on May 25, 1976 too, the same date with the same year. With no birth time recorded for any of them, this is the same chart, not a similar one. Same sky, different lives.

Where this data comes from
Cillian’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q202589, 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.
