Be nice to everybody on your way up cos they're the ones who'll be there for you on your way down.' This is the advice Lilly Allen likes to live by and with the Sun in Taurus and the Moon in Libra, she has a determined and peace-loving nature. Lilly will be loyal to friends and loved-ones and will expect loyalty in return.

Lilly Rose Allen was born on the 2nd May 1985 in London. As a youngster, she attended 13 different schools. Stability and security is a strong emotional requirement for those born under the sign of Taurus and as a rule Taureans are resistant to change.

But Lilly also has Mercury and Venus in Aries and these planets will have helped her find strategies to cope with change.

When she was a child, she lost herself in her music and admits that music was her life. Ruled by Venus, Taureans are creative, sensual, practical and resourceful. After she left school, Lilly focused on her song writing and singing and developed her own unique bright and brassy style. Lilly's fast mind and quick wit can be seen in Mercury in Aries. Venus also in this sign adds a special sparkle to her personality. On the one hand Lilly craves stimulation and excitement, on the other she longs for routine and stability. This is a contradiction that will always be with her and a one she will learn to come to terms with, through experience.

Lilly's cheeky lyrics are easy to identify with and she made a name for herself almost as soon as she released her demos on the Internet. Her bubbly sense of humour and spunky attitude can be attributed to the Aries influence in her chart. Mercury in Aries will also make her impulsive in speech and action. Lilly has been known to say things she has later regretted. Her Libra Moon pricks at her consciousness and sense of fairness encouraging Lilly to be open and honest in all her communications. If she feels she has done wrong, she will say so.

Taureans appreciate the good things in life but with the Sun linking with Jupiter, she should guard against over-indulgence. Lily will like to think of herself as an optimist but could be surprised at how life's events can dampen her spirit. She might get impatient when things don't go her way and it is during these times when she often says things she doesn't really mean.

She will always have her charm and sparkling wit to fall back on. With Mercury linking with Uranus in her chart, she has an original and inventive mind. She is popular because of her talents, her warmth and her exuberance.

Lilly will always have a career in music even if, over the year ahead, she might find herself reassessing her goals in some way. With Mars in Gemini she might also veer towards journalism, presenting TV shows or radio.
