PinWhen Is Blake Lively’s Birthday?
Blake Lively’s birthday is August 25.
Blake Lively’s Sun Sign Is Meticulous Virgo
•The Sun represents the essence of your personality, your main character energy•
Blake Lively’s astrological sign is Virgo. She was born Blake Ellender Brown on August 25, 1987, in Los Angeles, California.
Virgos are the ultimate perfectionists of the zodiac; you know the type: the cheerleader, choir-member who happens to also be class president, which by the way, happens to describe Blake’s actual high school experience! Virgos can’t help but want to naturally push themselves, understanding that progress is necessary in their pursuit for perfection.
Blake’s Virgo Sun is located in the first house of her chart, focused on self and one’s identity. While Virgos might traditionally prefer to exist behind the scenes, Blake can’t help but naturally attract attention wherever she goes. She’s here to shine brightly and set the standard.
Blake Lively’s Natal Chart Features a Virgo Stellium
•A stellium is when three or more planets are in the same zodiac sign or house in a birth chart•
Blake’s not just a Virgo Sun, she happens to have the rest of her personal planets: Mercury (thoughts), Mars (behavior) and Venus (love) as well as her moon (emotions) in the earthy sign as well!
While themes of perfectionism certainly ring true, Blake’s Virgo stellium also emphasizes her need for control in the pursuit of that ideal. Most of her Virgo stellium happens to be located in her first house, typically associated with “my way or no way” Aries energy.
Blake has previously stated (Mercury) that the reason she likes doing her friends’ hair and makeup or cooking (classic Virgo friend move) is because she gets “to be creative (Mars and Venus) and finish it. Whereas with [acting], you do it and then two years later it’s finished. It probably goes back to the control issues.”
Her Virgo moon happens to be located in her second house of skills. The second house is also typically associated with Taurus energy, a sign known for its love of food and cooking, no surpris that Blake is a self-described foodie and cook! In true Virgo fashion, she is known to take cooking classes as a way of immersing herself in the local culture when she is traveling.
Blake Lively’s Rising Sign Is Popular Leo
•Your rising sign, or ascendant, is the first impression you make. Like a filter, it “tints” your Sun sign•
Blake Lively is a Leo Rising. The rising sign acts as a filter or lens that colors your identity (the Sun), and can also describe your body type (or in this case, hair!). Take one look at that glorious 80s curl-inspired mane she sported during the 2024 Superbowl and you know exactly what we mean.
It’s only natural that Blake rose to superstardom playing the role of “it girl” Serena van der Woodsen in the popular TV show adaptation of Gossip Girl. One could argue that it was the role she was born to play as Leo risings naturally exude a gravitas that draws people in like moths to a flame. Xoxo you know you love her.
Blake Lively’s Chart Ruler Is Her Virgo Sun
•Your chart ruler is the planet that rules over your rising sign•
As a Leo Rising, Blake’s chart ruler happens to be none other than her Virgo Sun itself!
Think of your chart ruler like your personal avatar or character you play in the movie of your life.
Blake’s Virgo Sun happens to be located in between her Mars and Venus in Virgo, infusing her with some serious hits of creativity as well as acerbic wit (you can always count on her to know the right thing to say, or come back with!) Blake has been known to engage in some top-tier trolling on social media with her husband, fellow actor Ryan Reynolds, throughout their relationship.
Love Astrology of Blake Lively: In Pursuit of Perfection
•Venus and Mars are the love planets in astrology. In your birth chart, Venus represents seduction and romance while Mars represents lust, motivation and erotic instincts.
As noted above, Blake Lively happens to have her Mars and Venus both in Virgo, a particularly dynamic and enigmatic configuration relentless in its pursuit for the “perfect” relationship.
Mars and Venus types are rarely alone for too long, especially with Blake’s Virgo Sun situated between her Mars and Venus; symbolically, her identity (Sun) is wedged between her relationships (Mars and Venus). Blake has been married to current partner Ryan Reynolds since 2012, a long time by Hollywood standards.
However, it’s important to note that as relationship-oriented as Blake might be, she has to understand her relationship with service. Virgos are notorious for their love of helping others but have a difficult time asking for the help themselves (that element of control around the ideal outcome comes into play here). Blake could find herself navigating the delicate balance between give-and-take, and to make sure her needs are also being met in the relationship.
Blake Lively’s South Node Is In Fashionista Libra
•Astrologers use the nodes of the moon (found opposite each other in your birth chart) to determine where your destiny lies (North node) and what you were in past lifetimes (South node).
Blake has her South Node (past-life karma) in Libra and her North Node (destiny) in Aries. With a South Node in Libra, it’s no surprise that Blake has a natural eye for fashion as Libras love beautiful things. Blake’s South Node is located in her second house of skills and resources, further highlighting her skillful aesthetic.
The second house happens to be associated with Taurus energy, another fashion-oriented sign; no coincidences that Taurus and Libra are both ruled by the planet Venus, concerned with all things beauty.
With her North Node in Aries however, Blake is here to do things her way. She’s famously claimed that she has never worked with a stylist throughout her career, partly blaming her “control issues” but also claiming fashion as a creative outlet for her. In a town full of glam teams, breaking free from a stylist narrative seems very North Node in Aries!
What Pluto in Blake Lively’s Birth Chart Means
•Pluto holds the key to our personal chamber of secrets, everything from money, sex, power•
Pluto is the planet that describes karmic wounding in the natal chart. Pluto tends to be incredibly secretive and private, knowing true power lies in what you’re able to control.
Blake’s Pluto happens to be located on the nadir of the chart, i.e., the chart equivalent of the bottom of the ocean. Her notoriously private Pluto placement that happens to oppose her Taurus mid heaven (MC), the most public facing part of her chart! It’s an interesting contradiction of energies that seems to be embodied by the nature of the roles she picks, ones usually with more grit and darkness than her image would otherwise suggest.
On a more maternal note, Pluto’s presence in her home of family and privacy also reflects the manner in which she is incredibly private about her pregnancy and children.
