The record

What sets Molly apart

Lee Kuan Yew (1923) and Amy Poehler (1971) share the birthday in another year, so the sun sits where it sits here.

What the chart says

Molly, according to the stars

Core essence

Molly 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 Molly is devotion expressed as usefulness. They love by improving things, and they are far kinder to other people than to themselves.

How Molly wants to be loved

Molly wants to be loved out loud. Venus in Leo is warm, generous and a little theatrical, and it wants a partner who is proud to be seen with them. Praise is oxygen, loyalty is the deal. Adore Molly openly and they will make you feel like the only person in every room.

How Molly creates

How Molly 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. Molly 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: Molly 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 Wood year adds growth: ideals, ambition, a need to be getting somewhere.

Purpose

Purpose: Life Path 9 is the humanitarian. Molly is here for the bigger picture, to give, to finish what others started and hand it on. Wise beyond their years, compassionate, a little world-weary, and learning to receive as freely as they give.

Triggers

Triggers: being ignored, or being made small. Mars in Leo means Molly 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.

Molly Shannon in 15 seconds

Virgo Sun

Sees the typo from across the room.

Molly Shannon's Sun was in Virgo for the whole of September 16, 1964, 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.

Wood Dragon

Sets the standard, then raises it.

Molly Shannon was born on September 16, 1964, which falls in a Wood 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 9

Gives without keeping score.

Molly Shannon's birth date, September 16, 1964, reduces to Life Path 9 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 9 readings associate the number with compassion, generosity and completion: a wide view that takes in more than one person's experience. Numerologists describe it as the path of the humanitarian, the last single digit and the one that closes cycles. The corresponding tension is diffuseness, with the caution that caring about everyone can be easier than showing up for someone.

Reference chart · birth time unknown

No documented birth time exists for Molly Shannon, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 18° to 0° Capricorn or Aquarius depending on the hour. The wheel's houses are a solar chart, counted from the Sun's sign, because the Ascendant needs a time.

Aspects across every possible birth time

Stable aspects hold for any birth hour. Possible ones depend on the hour, so their orb is a range rather than a number. Orb policy western_v1.

Molly’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.

  • ⚷ Chiron ℞Pisces 16°05′ (moves 0.05° over the day)

    centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it

    Chiron in Pisces is read as a wound around boundaries and faith. The reading has Molly absorbing more of a room than most, and needing somewhere to put it down.

  • ⚳ CeresSagittarius 26°42′ (moves 0.18° 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. Molly is read as someone who looks after people by giving them room.

  • ♡ ErosLibra 0°37′ (moves 0.85° over the day)

    near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire

    Eros in Libra is read as desire for the beautiful and the mutual. Molly is read as someone who wants the pairing itself as much as the person.

  • ⚕ HygieaCancer 11°55′ (moves 0.21° 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. Molly is read as someone who does not thrive far from a base.

  • ⚸ Black Moon LilithSagittarius 27°23′ (moves 0.11° over the day)

    mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed

    Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius is read as a refusal to be told what to believe. The reading has Molly leaving any room where the truth is decided in advance.

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.

  • Chiron trine Neptune 0.3°
  • Eros sextile Mars 0.3°
  • Hygiea sextile Uranus 0.6°
  • Chiron opposition Pluto 1.7°
  • Hygiea sextile Pluto 2.4°
  • Black Moon Lilith sextile Saturn 2.6°
  • Ceres square Sun 2.9°

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°).

Molly’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. 1. ☿ Mercury10 pts

    rules the Sun sign, Virgo; in its own sign, Virgo; disposes Sun, Uranus, Pluto; 2 major aspects

  2. 2. ☉ Sun4 pts

    disposes Venus, Mars; 2 major aspects

  3. 3. ♅ Uranus3 pts

    3 major aspects

A Mercury-led chart is read as the mind in charge: Molly 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 Molly’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, the shape it makesStellium in Virgo · Sun, Mercury, Uranus, 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.

  • Sun semi-square Venus 0.1°
  • Venus quintile Jupiter 0.7°
  • Mars quincunx Saturn 0.9°
  • Mars semi-square Pluto 1.5°

Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Molly Shannon, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

No birth time is on public record for Molly Shannon, 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

Molly’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q239145, 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.
