Lucille Ball’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief

6 August 1911 was a Sunday: the day Lucille Ball was born in Jamestown, New York. The Sun was in Leo, so Leo was their zodiac sign. The Moon changed sign at about 02:10, from Sagittarius to Capricorn; which of the two is the Moon sign depends on the hour of birth. Lucille died on 26 April 1989, aged 77. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.

Of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, five are in earth signs, two in water, one in fire and one in air. Fixed signs hold four, mutable signs three and cardinal signs two. The tightest aspect is Sun square Mars, about 0.9° 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: Uranus. The Moon was waxing gibbous, between first quarter and full.

StarMap's dataset holds 13 other people born on 6 August, among them Andy Warhol, Robin van Persie and Michelle Yeoh.

Lucille Ball’s Sun, Moon and rising sign

Sun sign

Leo

about 13° Leo at midday

A Leo Sun shines. For Lucille Ball that suggests warmth, generosity and a need to be seen for who they really are, running through much of what they do. This placement grows by learning that the light is not diminished when it is shared.

All Leo Suns

Moon sign

Sagittarius or Capricorn

Sagittarius until about 02:10, then Capricorn (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.

Born before about 02:10: Moon in Sagittarius

A Sagittarius Moon feels best in motion. Open roads, new ideas and honest laughter probably lift Lucille, and being fenced in by other people's moods tends to weigh them down. This Moon needs room, and someone who thinks that is fine.

Born after about 02:10: Moon in Capricorn

A Capricorn Moon feels responsibly. With it, Lucille may hold themselves together for other people, and can be hard on themselves when they cannot. This Moon tends to be restored by accomplishment, by structure, and by the rare person allowed to see them tired.

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 Jamestown, New York, at each hour of the day.

Lucille Ball’s rising sign, by birth time

StarMap has not verified a birth time for Lucille 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 6 August 1911, computed for Jamestown, New York.

Lucille Ball’s planets, sign by sign

Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Lucille Ball’s private life.

  1. Sun in Leo

    13° Leo 05' at midday

    purpose and vitality

    Purpose for Lucille Ball is probably tied to creating and being seen doing it, and a Leo Sun's vitality rises the moment there is an audience, even an audience of one. The tension is losing steam when no one is watching. The giveaway is often the extra effort that goes into something the moment someone notices them making it.

  2. Moon in Sagittarius or Capricorn

    Sagittarius until about 02:10, then Capricorn

    needs and habits

    Born before about 02:10: Moon in Sagittarius

    The Moon in Sagittarius needs room to move and a bit of novelty in its routine to feel right. A schedule with no give in it can make Lucille edgy faster than most people expect. With this Moon, the next trip tends to be planned before the current one has finished.

    Born after about 02:10: Moon in Capricorn

    With the Moon in Capricorn, Lucille's comfort probably comes from accomplishing something concrete each day, and an unproductive day can leave them oddly unsettled even on holiday. Harder feelings tend to be kept for when they are alone. Before rest is allowed there is usually one more thing to tidy, organise or finish.

  3. Mercury in Virgo

    9° Virgo 34' at midday

    mind and voice

    For Lucille, Mercury in Virgo points to thinking that is precise and attentive to detail, and to clear communication, because the facts have usually been checked first. The catch is fixating on a small error and losing sight of the larger point. This is the placement that edits a message three times before sending something everyone else would have sent in one go.

  4. Venus in Virgo

    23° Virgo 44' at midday

    love and values

    With Venus in Virgo, Lucille is likely to love through small, practical acts of service and to value competence and reliability in a partner. People with this Venus tend to be hardest on those they love most, and can mistake giving notes for giving care. They may try to fix a partner's problem before simply listening to it.

  5. Mars in Taurus

    13° Taurus 59' at midday

    drive and anger

    Mars in Taurus acts deliberately and sticks with a course once chosen, and its anger builds slowly but takes a long time to cool once it arrives. At times Lucille may dig in out of stubbornness rather than conviction. It takes real provocation to make this Mars snap, and the rattled feeling tends to last a while afterwards.

  6. Jupiter in Scorpio

    6° Scorpio 25' at midday

    growth and excess

    Jupiter in Scorpio grows by facing what is difficult rather than avoiding it, even when that is the harder road at the time. The overreach, for Lucille, may be an intensity that turns a manageable situation into an all-consuming one. The resilience tends to be noticed only after the hard part is over.

  7. Saturn in Taurus

    19° Taurus 34' at midday

    discipline and doubt

    Saturn in Taurus gathers its discipline around security and the things a person relies on, and Lucille is likely to take very little for granted. The doubt is a fear that stability could disappear, even when it clearly has not. This placement likes to know what things cost before committing, and tends to stay careful even in steady times.

  8. Uranus in Capricorn

    26° Capricorn 43' at midday ℞

    freedom, generational

    Many people within a few years of Lucille'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.

  9. Neptune in Cancer

    22° Cancer 07' at midday

    imagination, generational

    Neptune in Cancer is shared by Lucille and many people born in the same decade or so. The generation idealises home and family, often carrying a wider nostalgia for a version of belonging that may never quite have existed. Personally it can be a soft-focus longing for a childhood home.

  10. Pluto in Gemini

    28° Gemini 29' at midday

    power, generational

    Lucille shares Pluto in Gemini with many people born in the same long stretch of years. That generation transforms communication and collective thought, often through upheavals in how information is controlled and shared. The personal portion is an intense relationship with what counts as truth.

Aspects in Lucille Ball’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.

  1. Sun square Mars

    about 0.9° at midday

    Impatience, or a habit of picking fights that did not need picking, can come from the clash between Lucille Ball's sense of self and their drive to act. With the Sun square Mars, a pause between the impulse and the action turns this friction into determination they can use.

  2. Venus sextile Neptune

    about 1.6° at midday

    Romance and creative warmth tend to be within easy reach for Lucille, thanks to a gentle working link between affection and imagination. The tenderness is soft and pleasant, not an intense longing, and it is the sort that makes ordinary moments with someone feel a little more meaningful.

  3. Saturn sextile Neptune

    about 2.5° at midday

    Lucille's ideas tend to take a workable, grounded shape without losing their spark, a result of the gentle alliance between discipline and imagination in this sextile. It is a quiet, practical creativity, and it usually produces something people can use and not just admire.

  4. Venus trine Uranus

    about 3.0° at midday

    Closeness does not have to feel confining for Lucille, because under this trine affection and independence sit easily together. Excitement and stability manage to coexist, more comfortably than the usual choice between the two would suggest.

  5. Mercury sextile Jupiter

    about 3.2° at midday

    Lucille's thinking and optimism keep easy company, which gives their conversation a natural, engaging breadth. Curiosity does much of the work with this aspect, opening doors in conversation that a narrower focus would have missed.

  6. Venus trine Saturn

    about 4.2° at midday

    A steady, dependable way of loving, one that people trust, is what this trine gives Lucille, since affection and commitment hold each other up. Relationships built on it tend to last, often well past the point where less committed people would have moved on.

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.
