What the chart says
Mel, according to the stars
Core essence
Mel feels the room before entering it. The core of Mel is care, the practical kind that remembers what you said in March and has already made the tea. They protect their people with a fierceness that surprises anyone who only knew the soft exterior. Home is not a place for Mel, it is whoever they have decided to keep.
The vibe
Underneath, Mel needs air. The Moon in Aquarius feels things at a slight distance, thinks them over, and comes back with an answer that is kinder than the reaction would have been. What Mel needs to feel safe is space, friendship first, and to be accepted as exactly the odd shape they are. Then they are the most loyal person you know.
How Mel creates
How Mel makes things happen: they are the ground everyone else stands on. A Yang Earth day master is the mountain, reliable, slow to move, immovable once it has. Mel creates by holding: the plan, the people, the standard. They are trusted before they have said a word, and the work is remembering that mountains are allowed to want things too.
Instinct
Instinct: Mel is bold, a Tiger year, and their gut reaction is to leap. Brave, generous, a bit dramatic, magnetic to be around, and never boring for a second. The Fire year turns the volume up: warmer, bolder, more expressive, harder to overlook.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 7 is the seeker. Mel is here to understand, to go deep rather than wide, to keep a private inner world that most people never see. Thoughtful, intuitive, happiest with time alone, and learning to let the right people in.
Triggers
Triggers: being told to wait. Mars in Aries means Mel gets angry fast, says it, and is over it before you have finished being hurt. The temper is honest and short. Give them a clear path and something to fight for, and all that heat turns into drive.

No public birth time is available, so this is a 9:00 p.m. reference evening sky for that date and place. It is connected to the night of birth; it is not the sky at the birth minute, and no other reading on this page uses that time. Dedications are commemorative AsterNym records and do not rename or confer ownership of stars.
The quick version
Cancer Sun
Cancer SunFeeds you before you ask.
Mel Brooks's Sun was in Cancer for the whole of June 28, 1926, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Cancer readings associate the sign with protectiveness, memory and attention to the emotional temperature of a room. Astrologers describe it as the cardinal water sign, ruled by the Moon, and read it for loyalty to family and home. The corresponding tension is guardedness: the tradition describes a sign that looks after others more readily than it lets itself be looked after.
Fire Tiger
Fire TigerLeads by moving.
Mel Brooks was born on June 28, 1926, which falls in a Fire Tiger year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Tiger readings emphasise courage, presence and the willingness to go first. The Chinese almanacs describe the Tiger as the sign others follow, bright and impulsive, at its best when the stakes are high. The corresponding caution in the tradition is burnout: a sign that burns brightly and, without pacing, burns out, with little left in reserve for the long middle of things.
Life Path 7
Life Path 7Digs under every answer.
Mel Brooks's birth date, June 28, 1926, reduces to Life Path 7 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 7 readings associate the number with inquiry, analysis and solitude: the need to understand what others simply accept. Numerologists describe it as the path of the seeker, reflective and private. The corresponding tension is withdrawal, with the caution that a mind at home in its own company can forget to come out.
What stands out in Mel’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Mel Brooks' date-only chart is Mercury trine Uranus, with an orb of under 1°.
- Three planets, Sun, Mercury and Pluto, sit together in Cancer, which astrologers call a stellium.
- Five of the ten planets fall in Fixed signs, making Fixed the strongest modality in this chart.
- Mel Brooks combines an Earth Day Master in BaZi with a cardinal Sun and a Life Path on the intuitive plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Steadfast Visionary.
Mel’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Mel Brooks, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 6° to 21° Aquarius depending on the hour. The wheel's houses are a solar chart, counted from the Sun's sign, because the Ascendant needs a time.
No birth time, so the houses are a solar chart: the Sun’s sign counts as house 1. A documented time would place them from the Ascendant instead.

Mel’s Chiron, Ceres, Eros, Hygiea and Lilith
Four minor bodies and the mean lunar apogee, placed in the same tropical zodiac as the planets above. None of these feed the chart signature, the rarity score or any ranking on this site: they are listed for readers who use them. Chiron, Ceres, Eros and Hygiea positions come from JPL Horizons; Black Moon Lilith is the mean apogee, the point most published Lilith tables use. The readings are the modern tradition’s, not AsterNym’s. Without a birth time the degree is the noon value and the day's movement is shown alongside it.
⚷ ChironTaurus 1°32′ (moves 0.03° over the day)
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Taurus is read as a wound around security and worth. The reading has Mel building steadiness by hand after finding it could not be assumed.
⚳ CeresVirgo 5°02′ (moves 0.38° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Virgo is read as nurture through usefulness: fixing, sorting, noticing. The reading has Mel caring in practical detail rather than in words.
♡ Eros ℞Capricorn 18°56′ (moves 0.41° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Capricorn is read as desire that respects competence and control. Mel is read as drawn to people who have built something.
⚕ HygieaLeo 6°22′ (moves 0.35° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Leo is read as vitality that runs on purpose and recognition. The reading has Mel at their best with something to be proud of.
⚸ Black Moon LilithVirgo 2°11′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo is read as a refusal of the standard of good enough, turned both outward and inward. The modern reading has Mel exacting with themselves first.
Aspects to the asteroids and Lilith
Major aspects only, at a tight 3° orb. The Moon is left out because its position moves 13° across an untimed day.
- Eros sextile Saturn 1.0°
- Ceres sextile Sun 1.1°
- Chiron square Mercury 2.3°
- Black Moon Lilith square Venus 2.4°
- Hygiea trine Mars 2.9°
Method: JPL Horizons heliocentric vectors, 1700–2100, cubic Hermite interpolation; geocentric, true ecliptic of date, tropical; geometric (no light-time or aberration); Lilith = mean lunar apogee (Chapront/Meeus mean perigee + 180°).
Mel’s dominant planets
Scored from rulerships, dispositors and aspect count. Without a birth time there is no Ascendant or house to score, and the Moon's sign is left out where it could change with the hour.
1. ☽ Moon6 pts
rules the Sun sign, Cancer; disposes Sun, Mercury, Pluto
2. ♀ Venus5 pts
in its own sign, Taurus; 3 major aspects
3. ♂ Mars4 pts
in its own sign, Aries; 2 major aspects
A Moon-led chart is read as feeling first: Mel is read as steered by mood, memory and what feels safe.
How the score is built
- Rules the Sun sign, Moon sign or Ascendant sign: 3 points each (traditional co-rulers of Scorpio, Aquarius and Pisces score half).
- Sits in a sign it rules: 2 points.
- Disposes another planet (that planet sits in a sign it rules): 1 point each.
- Angular: 2 points in the first or tenth house, 1 point in the fourth or seventh (timed births only).
- Every major aspect it makes: 1 point.
Dominance scoring is an AsterNym method. Other sites weight differently and can name a different leader for the same chart.
Configurations in Mel’s chart
Closed shapes among the ten planets under the site’s one aspect-orb policy. The Moon is excluded without a birth time, so a shape that needs it is not claimed.
Stellium in Cancer · Sun, Mercury, PlutoThree or more planets in one sign (four, or three with a luminary, by AsterNym's count): a concentration astrologers read as that sign's themes dominating the chart.
T-square onto Saturn · Jupiter, Neptune, SaturnAn opposition with a third planet squaring both ends. Read as a driving tension that resolves through the apex planet.
Minor aspects
semi-sextile 30° (orb 2°), semi-square 45° (orb 2°), quintile 72° (orb 1.5°), sesquiquadrate 135° (orb 2°), biquintile 144° (orb 1.5°), quincunx 150° (orb 2.5°). Pairs already in a major aspect are not repeated. Moon excluded without a birth time.
- Uranus biquintile Neptune 0.6°
- Venus semi-square Pluto 0.7°
- Sun sesquiquadrate Saturn 1.2°
- Mars sesquiquadrate Neptune 1.4°
- Sun semi-square Neptune 1.6°
- Mercury quincunx Jupiter 2.3°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Mel Brooks, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

Where this data comes from
Mel’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q104266, released under CC0, as do the occupations, works, teams and awards in the biography above. No documented birth time is available, so this chart is rated X on the Rodden scale, the astrological convention for how well evidenced a birth time is. Time-dependent results use a clearly labelled reference time and should not be read as their exact birth chart. Entries are matched to Wikidata by entity id rather than by name, kept only at day precision, and dropped where sources disagree on the date.
