Aries Sun · Moon in Pisces or Aries
Lily James’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
5 April 1989 was a Wednesday: the day Lily James was born in Esher, England. Their zodiac sign is Aries. The Moon left Pisces for Aries at about 02:50 local time, which leaves the Moon sign open without a birth time. Lily turns 37 in 2026. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.
By element the count is three fire, three earth, two air and one water, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. By modality the count is six cardinal, two mutable and one fixed. Three planets stand together in Aries: Sun, Mercury and Venus. Capricorn holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. They are slow planets, so the grouping is shared with people born around the same time. Closest of the aspects is the conjunction between Sun and Venus, about 0.1° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. One planet was retrograde: Pluto. Over the course of the day the Moon went from waning crescent to new.
StarMap's dataset holds 26 other people born on 5 April, among them Bette Davis, Gregory Peck and Spencer Tracy. Wikidata links Lily with one person in the dataset: Matt Smith (listed as partners in Wikidata).

Lily James’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Aries
about 15° Aries at midday
An Aries Sun starts things. For Lily James that points to energy that is direct and impatient with delay, and to feeling most like themselves when there is something to go first at. The work of this placement is finishing what the spark began.
Moon sign
Pisces or Aries
Pisces until about 02:50, then Aries (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 02:50: Moon in Pisces
With the Moon in Pisces, Lily may well pick up the mood of a whole room. Music, water, sleep and imagination tend to restore them, and it matters whose moods they carry home. The empathy of this Moon is a gift that needs a door.
Born after about 02:50: Moon in Aries
With the Moon in Aries, Lily is likely to feel fast and forgive fast. Anger comes up quickly and passes just as quickly, and feeling needs a physical outlet. This is a Moon soothed by action, not by talking it over.
Rising sign
The rising sign changes about every two hours, so it cannot be known without a birth time. The table below shows which sign was rising over Esher, England, at each hour of the day.
Lily James’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Lily yet. It shows a birth time only when Astro-Databank rates it AA, A or B on the Rodden scale (AA from a birth certificate or record, A from the person, someone close to them or a news report, B from a biography). Until then, this is the rising sign for every possible time of birth on 5 April 1989, computed for Esher, England.

Lily James’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Lily James’s private life.
With the Sun in Aries, Lily James's sense of purpose tends to come alive when there is a clear start line. They probably feel most like themselves pushing into something new, though that energy can burn hot and fade before the finish. The typical pattern is a project launched with excitement, then handed off once the routine sets in.
Moon in Pisces or Aries
Pisces until about 02:50, then Aries
needs and habits
Born before about 02:50: Moon in Pisces
The Moon in Pisces makes for a porous daily mood, one that picks up the emotional temperature of a room without choosing to. Quiet, music or time near water probably restores Lily more than talking things out. It can be easy for them to miss how much of what they feel belongs to someone else.
Born after about 02:50: Moon in Aries
The Moon in Aries keeps day-to-day needs simple: something to do right now, and permission to feel it and move on. For Lily, comfort probably comes from action rather than discussion. The instinct of this Moon is to pace the room or go for a walk rather than sit with a feeling until it passes on its own.
Mercury in Aries suggests that Lily thinks in quick, decisive strokes and says what they mean without much preamble. Sometimes the words arrive before the thought is fully formed, which can come across sharper than intended. It is a mind that finishes other people's sentences and prefers a fast decision to a long meeting.
Venus in Aries loves with immediacy and pursues what it wants without much hesitation, and it values a partner who can keep up. For Lily that suggests an interest that can fade once the chase is over. The pattern is to fall fast and to need a relationship to keep feeling like a choice, not a routine.
With Mars in Gemini, Lily is likely to act through words, argument and quick manoeuvring rather than force, and anger to come out sharp and verbal. Arguments can be won without the conflict underneath ever being resolved. A disagreement can still be under debate long after the other person just wants it to end.
Jupiter in Gemini
4° Gemini 17' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Gemini grows through learning and exposure to as many ideas as can be gathered, and its optimism is contagious in conversation. Lily may overreach by knowing a little about everything and claiming more certainty than the depth supports. This is someone who can be the best-read person in the room on subjects they have never studied closely.
Saturn is at home in Capricorn, a placement that builds discipline as naturally as breathing and often takes on responsibility earlier than most. The doubt, for Lily, may be never quite believing that enough has been achieved to relax. Others tend to recognise this kind of authority well before it is claimed.
Uranus in Capricorn
5° Capricorn 19' at midday
freedom, generational
Many people within a few years of Lily's age share Uranus in Capricorn, the mark of a generation that dismantles and rebuilds old institutions and structures of authority. Personally, that can mean scepticism towards any system that asks for trust without having shown why it deserves it.
Neptune in Capricorn
12° Capricorn 21' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Capricorn is shared by Lily and about fourteen years of births. The imagination of the generation questions or idealises authority and ambition, often shaped by wide disillusionment with institutions. The personal version may be an uneasy relationship with conventional success.
Pluto in Scorpio
14° Scorpio 34' at midday ℞
power, generational
Pluto is at home in Scorpio, and the generation born with it lives through profound upheavals in power, secrecy and shared taboos. Lily's own share may be an unusually deep comfort with intensity that others would find overwhelming.
Aspects in Lily James’s chart
How the planets stand to each other, tightest first. Without a birth time the orbs are those at midday, and aspects to the Moon are left out because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day.
Sun conjunction Venus
about 0.1° at midday
Who Lily James is and what they love are likely to be closely bound, so their identity has relationships and beauty at its centre rather than at its edge. People with the Sun conjunct Venus tend to give affection openly, and their sense of self can rise and fall a little with how appreciated they feel.
Sun sextile Mars
about 0.3° at midday
Lily's identity and energy work together, giving them an easy confidence that is there when they decide to use it. With this aspect, taking the initiative comes more naturally than might be expected, especially when the stakes are theirs to own.
Venus sextile Mars
about 0.4° at midday
A sextile between Venus and Mars tends to let Lily go after what they like without much inner conflict, because affection and drive are pulling the same way. It is a pleasant, workable confidence, at its most useful in the early stages of anything new.
Mercury conjunction Venus
about 0.8° at midday
Mercury conjunct Venus ties Lily's thinking closely to what they love, so they probably talk about affection and beauty with ease. It lends a diplomatic, pleasant way of putting things, especially when the subject is close to the heart.
Saturn sextile Pluto
about 0.9° at midday
No crisis is needed to bring out Lily's resilience, because discipline and depth are on working terms in this sextile. Long, steady effort tends to be rewarded in ways that build quietly over time, not all at once.
Sun conjunction Mercury
about 1.0° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Mercury, Lily's sense of self and way of thinking are fused, so an opinion can feel like a statement of who they are. They are likely to speak their mind readily, and telling a passing thought apart from their identity is a practice worth keeping up.
The rest, listed without a reading. Those between Uranus, Neptune and Pluto hold for years at a time, so everyone born while one holds shares it.

How this page is made
Planet positions are computed with the astronomy-engine ephemeris and checked against Swiss Ephemeris. Birth dates and places come from Wikidata; birth times, where StarMap has one, come from Astro-Databank and are shown with their Rodden rating. The readings describe what a placement is traditionally taken to mean. They are written by StarMap for reflection and entertainment, not as statements about the person’s private life. New to charts?
