2007-06-06 at 23:13:00 · Santa Monica, California
A Modern Family child actor who joined the show at age four and stayed across its run, born with Aquarius Rising and the Moon at 0° Pisces in the 1st house. You see... the chart of someone whose visible identity is detached air over a personal sector that immediately turns to water.
Santa Monica, California. June 6, 2007. 11:13 in the evening. Aubrey Anderson-Emmons replaced the original toddler actor as Lily Tucker-Pritchett on ABC's Modern Family in 2011 (season three) and continued in the role across the show's run through 2020.
Sun at 16° Gemini in the 5th house places identity into the creative output sector in communication air register. Gemini Sun in the 5th house produces an instinct toward verbal creative work specifically... the kind of placement that reads as right for a child actor whose role required quick comic timing in ensemble scenes.
Moon at 0° Pisces in the 1st house regulates through water at the very front of the chart at the cusp of the sign. Now look at the cusp degree. The Pisces Moon at 0° produces an emotional life that's immediately visible and watery in the personal sector. For a child actor that placement reads as the visible emotional availability that makes screen work possible.
Aquarius Rising at 13° presents the detached air surface. The combination of Aquarius Rising and Pisces Moon at the personal sector is unusual... the surface is intellectual and detached, the immediate emotional life is dreamy and water.
Mars at 17° Aries in the 2nd house places drive into the values and resource sector in cardinal fire. Saturn at 20° Leo in the 7th house places structural discipline into partnership in performance fire.
Here is what the chart shows. The chart's age means the public biographical record is still mostly the Modern Family chapter and the post show transition. The placements that will activate in the post childhood acting career are likely the 5th house Gemini Sun (which doesn't stop being creative and communicative at 18) and the 2nd house Aries Mars (which suggests independent resource building). At 19, the chart's career sector is still pre activation.
What the Chart Reveals
Interpretations drawn from Aubrey's natal placements.
☉ Sun in Gemini
Gemini works in Mutable Air, and the Sun sits here without formal dignity ... solar drive carried at the speed Gemini already runs at. The fifth house is creativity, romance, the spontaneous expressive self. Sun in Gemini in the 5th illuminates creativity and play with quicksilver intelligence and verbal wit, the creative life driven by ideas and most satisfying when it involves genuine intellectual play.
Lives with this placement create best when the mind is engaged, kind of bringing brain to bear on writing, wordplay, storytelling, comedy, games, puzzles, anything that requires the mind's active participation. Romance draws toward intellectually stimulating partners. Flirtatious clever conversation is the most natural love language here, and a partner who surprises with their mind is more reliably attractive than one who's merely beautiful.
Anyway. The maturation comes through committing to completing creative projects before beginning new ones. The ideas are valuable, and finishing amplifies recognition that perpetual beginning can't provide. The honest challenge is that mutable quality treating romantic commitment as constraint on discovery. What was perpetual flirtation becomes chosen depth.
☽ Moon in Pisces
Pisces is a Mutable Water sign and the Moon has no formal dignity here, though it sits easily in Pisces's water ... the emotional life flowing without much resistance, feeling that moves the way water moves. The first house is the body, the arrival, the chart's primary point of self-projection. In the 1st, the placement puts that permeable emotional register directly on personal presentation.
Lives with this placement come across as soft, dreamy, unguarded ... the kind of presence that picks up the mood of a room before anyone has said a word. The body is porous, registering other people's feeling as if it were its own, the boundary between self and surroundings thin to begin with. It's not just sensitivity; it's structural identity expressed through meeting the world with almost no membrane, the emotional weather of others arriving uninvited. The shadow is the placement so open that the chart owner loses track of which feelings are theirs and which they absorbed on the way in.
What gets clarified across years is that the openness was always a gift, but a gift that needs a door ... the chart owner learning to close it sometimes without believing that closing it makes them hard.
Soft to everything that passes through, and slowly learning where the self ends and the room begins.
☿ Mercury in Cancer
Mercury in Cancer runs Cardinal Water through the chart's sector of work and health. The sixth house is the job, the body, the daily routine, the texture of how the days get spent. In the 6th, the placement runs the feeling mind through the ordinary grind.
Lives with this placement need to feel right about the work, not just be good at it ... the mood of the workplace matters as much as the tasks, and a tense room ruins a productive one. The mind does its best work where it feels safe and noticed. It's not just being a sensitive coworker; it's structural identity expressed through needing the daily routine to feel like a place that holds them. Turned shadow, it's the placement that absorbs the office mood like a sponge and carries it home in the body.
What the placement learns, over time, is that the nervous system keeps the score the personality won't, and that a stomach can audit a job the mind keeps defending. The sensitivity is useful. The leakage is what costs.
What looked like being too soft for the work becomes the early warning system the room didn't know it had.

The leakage is what costs. What looked like being too soft for the work becomes the early warning system the room didn't know it had.
Venus in Leo in House 6
Venus in Leo runs Fixed Fire through the chart's sector of work and health. The sixth house is the job, the body, the daily routine, the texture of how the days get spent. In the 6th, the placement runs the warm, proud heart through the daily grind. Lives with this placement bring warmth and flair to the work ... they make the daily round a little more golden, lift the team's mood, do the ordinary task with a generosity and pride the task did not require, and want the effort to be noticed. It needs the work to be seen. This isn't enjoying recognition so much as needing the daily labor to come with some warmth and some applause, working at the level of identity, not habit. The trouble is the placement that deflates when good work goes unthanked, that does the generous thing partly for the credit, and sulks a little when the routine offers no audience. What gets earned slowly is the pride in a job well done that does not depend on anyone noticing it was done. What was the need to be appreciated becomes the quiet satisfaction of doing it well anyway.
Mars in Aries in House 2
Mars in Aries runs Cardinal Fire through the chart's resource sector. The second house is money, possessions, the sense of what is worth having. In the 2nd, the placement runs the fast, aggressive drive through value and security. Lives with this placement go after money the way they go after everything ... directly, impatiently, in bursts, earning hard and fast and spending the same way, the income often made through sheer drive and competitive push rather than slow accumulation. It chases the win, not the nest egg. Being aggressive with money is the easy read. The structural one is a will that attacks the problem of resources head on. The shadow is the placement that acts on money the way it acts on everything, fast and without the second look, that spends on impulse and chases the quick gain, and learns the cost of skipping the strategy one rash move at a time. The slow lesson is that wealth is built slow and held with patience, and that the same drive that earns it fast can lose it faster. As the wins and the rash bets pile up, the placement keeps learning that earning hard and keeping smart were never the same skill.
Jupiter in Sagittarius runs Mutable Fire into the chart's house of career and public standing, and the planet sits here in its own rulership. The tenth house is the work shown to the world, the reputation, the arc of what gets built in public. In the 10th, the undiluted expansive faith runs up into the career itself. Lives with this placement build a public life of vision, meaning, and wide reach ... an ambition aimed at the big picture and the larger purpose, careers in teaching, law, publishing, travel, religion, and the professions that traffic in meaning and the wider world, a reputation built on optimism, breadth, and the ability to inspire. It rises by pointing people at something larger. It's not just being ambitious; it's structural identity expressed through a public self that grows through vision, meaning, and expansion. Turned shadow, it's the placement whose public vision outruns its delivery, that overpromises from the podium, that cannot focus the sprawling ambition into the finished thing, and mistakes inspiring people for actually building something for them. The visionary optimistic reach builds an inspiring public life. Delivering on the vision instead of just selling it is what turns the inspiration into substance.
Saturn in Leo in House 7
Fixed Fire is the Leo register. Saturn in detriment here ... the planet of containment in the sign that doesn't really do contained. The seventh house is the relational mirror, the one-on-one bond, the place where the chart meets another chart. Saturn here, in the partnership house, brings the longing for admiration into close relationship, which doesn't really work until the placement learns it doesn't have to. Lives with this placement need partners who see and honor the authentic self. But the placement also carries a craving for constant admiration that's a recipe for disappointment if it gets followed too far. It's not just wanting to be seen; it's wanting to be seen well at all times, which no partner can sustain. The work is to develop the security to be witnessed imperfectly, to let a partner see the less shining days without catastrophizing. The maturation arrives in a partnership of remarkable creative synergy, two strong egos learning to collaborate rather than compete. The pride stays. The performance softens. What was hunger becomes welcome.
Uranus in Pisces runs Mutable Water through the chart's resource sector, where the generational disruption meets a single person's money and values. The second house is money, possessions, the sense of what is worth having. In the 2nd, the placement runs the visionary, dissolving force through value and security. Lives with this placement hold money loosely and value the intangible over the material ... finances that flow and ebb in unpredictable, almost mystical ways, a value system that prizes the spiritual, the creative, and the meaningful far above possessions, an instinct to earn through inspiration, art, or compassion rather than the conventional path. It values what cannot be held. This isn't being unmaterialistic so much as resources held with intuition and an open hand, working at the level of identity, not habit. The trouble is the placement whose financial life is foggy and unstable, that cannot keep track of money or hold a steady base, that drifts into impractical schemes or gives it all away on a feeling, and mistakes a holy disregard for money for trusting the flow. What the placement learns, eventually, is that even a spiritual life needs a practical floor under it, and that the freedom it wants is hard to keep without some grounded structure around money. As the windfalls and the foggy losses accumulate, the placement keeps learning that floating above money and being free of it were never the same thing.
Neptune spends about fourteen years in a sign, so Aquarius, a Fixed Air sign, marks a generation that dreams through ideals, the collective, and the vision of a transformed future, and the house is where a person feels it. Neptune has no traditional dignity in Aquarius, but the sign lends the dissolving force a humanitarian, futuristic, collective minded edge. The first house is the body, the arrival, the chart's primary point of self projection. In the 1st, the placement puts that dreamy, idealizing, boundary dissolving force directly on the surface. Lives with this placement present as a gentle idealist, a dreamer of the collective ... a presence at once individual and oddly universal, an identity that dissolves into a vision of humanity and the future, a self drawn to ideals larger than any one person. It belongs more to the dream than to itself. Being idealistic is the easy read. The structural one is a self that dissolves and idealizes into the collective vision. The shadow is the placement whose individual self dissolves into abstract ideals, that loves humanity in general while losing its own grounded edges, that drifts in a utopian dream detached from real life, and mistakes the vision of the whole for a solid sense of self. The slow lesson is a self distinct enough to serve the ideal without dissolving into it, an individuality that holds inside the larger dream. The humanitarian visionary openness was always the gift. Keeping a real self inside the collective dream is what lets the ideal be lived.
Pluto in Sagittarius runs Mutable Fire into the chart's house of community, where the generational power meets a single person's circle and causes. The eleventh house is friendship, networks, the groups a person moves through, the wider circle. In the 11th, the placement runs the intense, philosophical force through the people it gathers. Lives with this placement gather a circle around a powerful shared belief ... a pull toward intense movements and communities united by a transforming vision, friendships forged in a shared cause and a common faith, a knack for the group that fights to change the world's mind. It bonds the circle to a transforming cause. This isn't being a believer so much as a community transformed by the power of belief, working at the level of identity, not habit. The trouble is the placement whose intensity turns the circle into an ideological movement that demands conformity, that can be drawn into a fanatical or cult like group united by a single absolute truth, that pressures the circle to convert and purify, and mistakes ideological unity for genuine belonging. What gets earned slowly is the trust to let the circle hold differing beliefs, and the power to share a vision without demanding everyone submit to it. The transformative shared vision was always real. Letting the circle think freely is what keeps the belonging from becoming a creed.
The North Node marks a direction of growth, not a trait the chart already owns. In Pisces it calls toward surrender, compassion, and the faith to trust a current larger than the self, while the South Node in Virgo holds the comfort of control, criticism, and the endless need to fix and perfect. The first house is the self, the body, and the way a person meets the world, so here the whole identity is asked to soften its grip and flow rather than manage. Lives with this placement are here to grow toward a self at ease in uncertainty ... toward compassion over judgment, trust over control, and a willingness to let life carry it rather than forcing every detail into line. The pull is real but unfamiliar, because the reflex is to analyze, correct, and worry the self into shape. It's not just learning to let go; it's structural identity expressed through a self that grows by surrendering control. Turned shadow, it's the placement that retreats into the Virgo comfort of control and self criticism, that picks itself apart and avoids the riskier work of trusting a flow it cannot manage. What was a self built on control becomes, in time, a self at peace in the larger current.
Chiron is the wounded healer, carrying the chart's deepest wound and the gift for healing that grows from tending it. It claims no rulership and no dignities; the sign colors the wound, the house locates it. In Aquarius, the wound forms around fitting in, around being the outsider who is fundamentally different and never quite belongs. The first house is the body, the arrival, the self at its most immediate, so here the wound around not fitting in shows in how a person carries their difference. Lives with this placement carry a deep wound around being an outsider ... a buried sense of being fundamentally different, alien, and unable to belong anywhere, a tender alienation that braces for exclusion. And from tending that wound grows a rare gift for helping others belong exactly as their different, unconventional selves. It offers others the acceptance of difference it ached for. Carrying a wound is the easy read. The structural one is a wound that becomes the source of a healing gift. The shadow is the placement whose untended wound either exiles itself in proud detachment or contorts itself to fit in, and never tends the ache of not belonging beneath. What heals slowly is the knowledge that its difference was never a barrier to belonging, and that being unlike others was never the same as being alone. The wound around being an outsider becomes, tended, a gift for helping others belong as themselves.
Ascendant (Rising) in Aquarius
Aquarius is a Fixed Air sign, and on the Ascendant it presents as its own thing ... the world meets your difference first, the sense that you are running on a private frequency. You come across as independent, original, intellectually alive, friendly in a way that keeps a certain cool distance. People stay curious because you clearly think for yourself and are not asking to be liked. The surface engages through ideas more than feeling. The work is letting the detachment thaw at the edges ... allowing the people drawn to your difference to actually get close to the person underneath the originality.
Descendant in Leo
Leo is a Fixed Fire sign, and on the Descendant it draws you toward partners with warmth and presence ... confident, generous, expressive, someone who can hold the light alongside you rather than shrink from it. You seek a relationship that is a little dramatic in the best way, where love gets spoken out loud. What you are looking for in another is often a heart as openly given as you want yours to be.
Midheaven in Scorpio
Scorpio is a Fixed Water sign, and on the Midheaven it drives the career into the deep end ... you are drawn to work that transforms, investigates, or uncovers what others would rather leave buried. The professional power comes from intensity, focus, and the willingness to go where the difficulty is. You are known for handling what most people route around. The risk is control curdling into secrecy ... the strength is staying in the depths without disappearing into them.
Imum Coeli in Taurus
Taurus is a Fixed Earth sign, and at the IC it shapes roots of comfort and constancy ... home is where things need to feel solid, calm, and physically good. You recharge through simple sensory pleasures, food and nature and rest, the body settling into something dependable. The private self wants ground that does not shift.
