Liam Neeson’s birth chart, interpreted by The AstroTwins
The following analysis by celebrity astrologers Tali & Ophi Edut, aka The AstroTwins, highlights the most interesting astrological features of Liam Neeson’s birth chart for all level astrology readers to understand.
When is Liam Neeson’s birthday?
Liam Neeson was born on June 7, 1952.
Liam Neeson is a Gemini Sun: Shapeshifter
•The Sun represents the essence of your personality, your main character energy•
Actor Liam Neeson was born William John Neeson at 9:55PM on June 7, 1952, in Ballymena, Ireland. His astrological sign is Gemini, the zodiac’s communicator and mentalist. Like others born under this Sun sign, Liam Neeson is a shape-shifter of ideas and identities. This is best witnessed in his film roles, in which he seems to thrive on variety (Schindler’s List to Star Wars to Kinsey to The Naked Gun). Gemini energy is ever-adapting (this air sign is mutable, after all) and Neeson’s career reflects that: drama, action, romance, and most recently, slapstick.
Liam Neeson’s Gemini Sun sits right on his descendant, the cusp of the seventh house of partnership—a chart signature that screams “relationship guy.” And he is by many accounts a once-loyal husband to his late wife, Natasha Richardson, with whom he had two sons. He’s the kind of man who, by his own telling, fell in love during an eight-times-a-week Broadway run with Natasha—and never stopped talking about her, even after her sudden, tragic death in 2009. He may be husband material, with this chart placement, but he’s also the widow who has said about romance, “I’m past all that.” Of course, that seems to have changed with his are-they-aren’t-they? off-screen romance with Naked Gun co-star Pamela Anderson.
With Venus (love) and Mercury (communication)—his ruling planet—also in Gemini, but placed in his hyper-discerning sixth house, he craves connection with “conditions”—meaning, a relationship has to work—literally. There needs to be intellectual chemistry (Gemini signature), a meeting of minds and calendars. His ideal love story is daily rituals and simple acts of love, like the woman who brings him tea and a bran muffin on a Sunday morning, celebrating the unexpected box office smash of Taken. (Yes, that actually happened.)
This Gemini trio gives Neeson his famous duality, too: straight-faced gravitas wrapped around a curious, almost boyish core. It’s why Seth MacFarlane cast him not as a comedic actor, but as a deadpan foil in the 2025 reboot of The Naked Gun. Neeson’s genius is that he plays absurdity like it’s Shakespeare. “We didn’t want Liam Neeson doing a funny character,” MacFarlane said in an interview with The New York Times. “We wanted Liam Neeson doing what he does so beautifully.” And that is, being Liam Neeson.
Liam Neeson’s Sagittarius moon reveals hidden humor
•Your moon sign governs the “inner you” and influences your emotions•
Liam Neeson’s moon sign is Sagittarius. This moon sign is drawn to wisdom, humor and big-picture meaning—but it can also be solitary, storing up experiences like treasures to share later. Hidden in the twelfth house of his natal chart, it indicates a private emotional life and an instinct to wait until the timing is just right before revealing his next act.
That patience may be why audiences are only now seeing Neeson in full comedic bloom. The twelfth house works in whispers rather than spotlights. So while his Sag moon has always been tuned to wit, it’s surfaced in small doses—cameos in The Simpsons, Derry Girls, Family Guy, or that infamous improv bit in Life’s Too Short with Ricky Gervais.
Deadpan delivery is a Sag moon specialty. Like Leslie Nielsen before him, Neeson plays The Naked Gun lead role straight, letting the world around him go off the rails—interrogating a suspect with their own severed arms, delivering clever wordplay without a flicker of self-consciousness. That’s why this role feels less like a reinvention and more like a reveal. Liam Neeson hasn’t “suddenly” become funny; he’s just finally found the stage for his inner comedian (aka Sag moon) to take a bow.
Liam Neeson’s Rising sign is also clever Sagittarius
•Your rising sign, or ascendant, is the first impression you make. Like a filter, it “tints” your Sun sign•
Liam Neeson is a Sagittarius rising. Sagittarius energy is philosophical, optimistic and ethically driven. This placement aligns with his dedication to causes, like his role as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, a title he’s held since 2011 that’s taken him to Mozambique to support children affected by HIV/AIDS, to powerful advocacy during the Syrian refugee crisis when he traveled to Jordan. In recent years, he has continued to shine his Sag light onto urgent global needs—raising awareness in UNICEF’s winter appeals, spotlighting the dire situation of children in Gaza and supporting immunization and emergency relief efforts across the globe.
Liam Neeson’s Love Astrology: Built for intensity
•Venus (and Mars) are the love planets in astrology. In your birth chart, Venus represents seduction and romance.
Liam Neeson’s Mars in Scorpio is built for intensity. This is all-or-nothing energy, in life and definitely in love! Mars here plays for keeps, investing deeply and privately, and once the connection is made, it’s hard to let go.
That Scorpionic signature is written all over his romantic history: living with Helen Mirren in the early ’80s, whirlwind passion with Julia Roberts and Barbra Streisand, a double proposal to Brooke Shields, and ultimately his 15-year marriage to Natasha Richardson, the love of his life. Even years after her passing, he still speaks to her daily at her gravesite. And now, in his 70s, Mars in Scorpio resurfaces with his Naked Gun co-star Pamela Anderson (a Cancer)—a pairing friends say “just works.”
Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson: The Saturn Connection
•Saturn’s placement in your birth chart can reveal some of life’s toughest lessons•
Liam Neeson’s Saturn in Libra sits at the top of his chart, a placement that takes relationships seriously—sometimes even viewing them as a kind of sacred contract. Libra Saturn wants balance, mutual respect and long-term stability.
With Pamela Anderson, the astrology gets interesting: her Saturn in Aries opposes his Saturn in Libra, creating a see-saw effect in their dynamic. This can give a couple complementary strengths—each bringing what the other lacks. His Saturn in Libra offers diplomacy, patience and a commitment to harmony. Her Saturn in Aries adds courage, decisiveness and a willingness to take bold steps. Together, they can find equilibrium, learning from one another’s approach to life’s big commitments and challenges.
Liam Neeson’s natal chart has a ‘Talent Triangle’: The heart in his chart
Neeson’s “talent triangle”—Neptune in Libra, Pluto in Leo, and his Sun in Gemini—all flow together in a Minor Grand Trine. It’s a formation that centers on people and love. It gives him an instinct for connection that’s intuitive and also magnetic.
Neptune in Libra lends grace and a natural ability to put others at ease. Pluto in Leo adds depth, loyalty and a touch of romantic grandeur. His Gemini Sun ties it all together with wit, curiosity and a genuine interest in what makes people tick. The result is a man who tends to give others the benefit of the doubt, who looks for the good in people, and who probably won’t dislike you without a good reason!
Lunar Nodes: Liam Neeson’s soul mission
•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).
Liam Neeson was born his South Node in Leo and North Node in Aquarius. Neeson’s Leo South Node, the karmic point that speaks to lifetimes steeped in romance, drama and the spotlight. He has never seemed to be someone who has to work to command a room. Being the leading man seems to be in his DNA, even if it took 20 major movies before his breakout, his Academy Award nominated role in Schindler’s List.
But his evolutionary path points toward the Aquarius North Node, a destiny driven by higher purpose. Aquarius energy shifts the focus from personal acclaim to collective impact—activism, humanitarian causes and using his celebrity influence to shape a better future. Neeson’s decades of work with UNICEF, his advocacy for children in crisis zones and his willingness to speak out on social issues are all part of that North Node calling.
The tension between these nodes is also part of his magic: he’s a celebrity who carries the weight of a mission. He may play the part of the lone savior on screen, but off-screen, his soul’s work is about rallying for many.
