What the chart says
Lily, according to the stars
Core essence
Lily notices. That is the whole thing: the detail everyone else walked past, the small fix that makes the day work, the way you looked slightly off when you said you were fine. The core of Lily is devotion expressed as usefulness. They love by improving things, and they are far kinder to other people than to themselves.
The vibe
Underneath, Lily runs hot. The Moon in Aries means feelings arrive fast and loud and burn out just as fast, so the flare you saw an hour ago is already forgiven. What Lily needs to feel safe is honesty in real time and room to react. Say it straight, and they will always meet you there.
How Lily wants to be loved
Lily wants to be loved attentively. Venus in Virgo shows love through service, the fixed thing, the remembered appointment, and wants to be loved the same way: notice what they did. Big words matter less than the follow-through. Be reliable with Lily and they will quietly make your whole life run better.
How Lily creates
How Lily makes things happen: they refine it until it shines. A Yin Metal day master is jewellery, precise, aesthetic, particular about the finish. Lily creates by polishing, by taste, by knowing exactly which detail makes the whole thing sing. Sensitive to being handled roughly, and worth handling well.
Instinct
Instinct: Lily is gentle and diplomatic, a Rabbit year, and their gut reaction is to keep the peace and read the room. Graceful, kind, quietly discerning, and much tougher than the soft manners suggest. The Earth year grounds it: practical, patient, someone people lean on.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 5 is the free spirit. Lily is here to explore, to change, to taste everything and report back. Adventure, variety and freedom are not distractions from their purpose, they are it. The lesson is choosing, sometimes, and staying.
Triggers
Triggers: incompetence, and disrespect. Mars in Capricorn means Lily does not waste energy on anger; they use it. Controlled, strategic, relentless, the person who will outlast the problem. Cold when crossed, and quietly forgiving once you have earned it back.

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

The quick version
Virgo Sun
Virgo SunStandards nobody else can meet.
Lily Tomlin's Sun was in Virgo for the whole of September 1, 1939, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Virgo readings associate the sign with precision, service and improvement: noticing what is off and quietly putting it right. Astrologers describe it as the mutable earth sign, ruled by Mercury, and read it for craft and analysis. The corresponding tension is perfectionism, described in the tradition as a standard applied hardest to the self.
Earth Rabbit
Earth RabbitKeeps the peace, keeps the plan.
Lily Tomlin was born on September 1, 1939, which falls in a Earth Rabbit year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Rabbit readings emphasise tact, grace and the ability to settle a room without seeming to try. The Chinese almanacs describe the Rabbit as the diplomat of the cycle, alert to subtleties and fond of comfort. The corresponding caution in the tradition is avoidance: the tendency to slip away from a conflict that needed to happen.
Life Path 5
Life Path 5Restless, curious, gone.
Lily Tomlin's birth date, September 1, 1939, reduces to Life Path 5 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 5 readings associate the number with freedom, change and variety: movement, new experience and resistance to restrictive routine. Numerologists describe it as the path of the traveller, adaptable and restless. The corresponding tension is instability, with the caution that constant motion can become a way of avoiding commitment to any one direction.
What stands out in Lily’s chart

- Six of the ten planets are in Earth signs, and none in Air and Water.
- Lily Tomlin combines a Metal Day Master in BaZi with a mutable Sun and a Life Path on the physical plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Gilded Explorer.
Lily’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Lily Tomlin, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 2° to 14° 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.

Lily’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.
⚷ ChironCancer 17°31′ (moves 0.08° over the day)
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Cancer is read as a wound around belonging and being looked after. Lily is read as someone who learnt to make a home for others before finding one.
⚳ CeresLeo 8°09′ (moves 0.43° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Leo is read as nurture through encouragement and applause. Lily is read as someone who grows people by making them feel seen.
♡ ErosCancer 16°59′ (moves 0.90° 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. Lily is read as drawn to people who feel like somewhere to come back to.
⚕ HygieaCapricorn 1°38′ (moves 0.08° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Capricorn is read as health as discipline and a long game. Lily is read as someone who keeps going past the point others stop, for better and worse.
⚸ Black Moon LilithAquarius 28°22′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius is read as the outsider who chose it. The modern reading has Lily at odds with the group on principle and rarely lonely about 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 trine Saturn 0.7°
- Ceres trine Jupiter 1.2°
- Black Moon Lilith sextile Saturn 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°).
Lily’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. ☿ Mercury7 pts
rules the Sun sign, Virgo; disposes Sun, Venus, Neptune; 1 major aspect
2. ♂ Mars5 pts
disposes Jupiter; 4 major aspects
3. ♀ Venus4 pts
disposes Saturn, Uranus; 2 major aspects
A Mercury-led chart is read as the mind in charge: Lily 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 Lily’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 Virgo · Sun, Venus, NeptuneThree 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.
Grand trine · Mars, Uranus, NeptuneThree planets each 120° apart, a closed triangle of trines. Astrologers read it as ease and talent that can go unexercised.
T-square onto Saturn · Mars, Pluto, SaturnAn opposition with a third planet squaring both ends. Read as a driving tension that resolves through the apex planet.
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.
- Jupiter semi-square Uranus 0.0°
- Venus quincunx Jupiter 0.2°
- Mars quintile Jupiter 0.5°
- Mercury sesquiquadrate Jupiter 0.9°
- Sun sesquiquadrate Mars 1.1°
- Sun quincunx Jupiter 1.4°
- Mercury semi-sextile Neptune 1.4°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Lily Tomlin, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

No birth time is on public record for Lily Tomlin, 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
Lily’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q229271, 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.
