Herman Melville Birth Chart

Born August 1, 1819 · Manhattan · Poets

Herman Melville’s zodiac sign, or star sign, is Leo. This page shows Herman Melville’s full natal chart (also called a birth chart) - every planet’s sign and placement, calculated from the ephemeris for August 1, 1819, with the Moon approximately in Sagittarius.

Birth timeUnknown
Birth time unknown. Wikidata records the date and place but not the clock time of birth, so this is a noon chart: the Ascendant, Midheaven and house placements are omitted, and the Moon (which moves ~12–14° per day) is approximate. Sun and the slower planets are reliable to the sign. Date precision: Wikidata records this birth to the month (stored as the 1st), so the day shown may be approximate and the Sun sign can differ if the true date falls near a sign boundary.

Chart summary

Herman Melville’s noon chart is fire-dominant - 5 of the ten major bodies fall in fire signs - with mutable signs most common by modality. The Sun is in Leo and the Moon is approximately in Sagittarius. The tightest planetary aspect is Jupiter Semisquare Pluto (orb 0.4°). 5 planets are retrograde. All positions are measured from the ephemeris for noon local time; no interpretation is implied.
