F. Murray Abraham’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
F. Murray Abraham was born on Tuesday, 24 October 1939, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Sun moved from Libra into Scorpio at about 02:45 local time that day, so the zodiac sign depends on the birth time: Libra for a birth before then, Scorpio after. The Moon was in Pisces all day. They turn 87 in 2026. StarMap has no verified birth time for them, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
Of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, three are in fire signs, three in water, two in earth and one in air. Fixed signs hold five, cardinal signs two and mutable signs two. The tightest aspect is Mercury opposition Uranus, about 0.8° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus were retrograde. The Moon was waxing gibbous, between first quarter and full.
StarMap's dataset holds 16 other people born on 24 October, among them Wayne Rooney, Drake and PewDiePie.

F. Murray Abraham’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Libra or Scorpio
Libra until about 02:45, then Scorpio (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 02:45: Sun in Libra
A Libra Sun balances. Fairness, beauty and the quality of relationships tend to shape F. Murray Abraham's decisions, and this is a placement that can see both sides of almost anything. The growth lies in choosing a side when it counts.
Born after about 02:45: Sun in Scorpio
A Scorpio Sun goes deep. Surface answers are unlikely to satisfy F. Murray Abraham, and with this Sun, loyalty, once given, tends to be total. This placement is built for transformation: it ends chapters fully so the next one can begin.
Moon sign
Pisces
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
With the Moon in Pisces, F. Murray Abraham may well pick up the mood of a whole room. Music, water, sleep and imagination tend to restore them, and it matters whose moods they carry home. The empathy of this Moon is a gift that needs a door.
Rising sign
The rising sign changes about every two hours, so it cannot be known without a birth time. The table below shows which sign was rising over Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, at each hour of the day.
F. Murray Abraham’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for F. Murray Abraham yet. It shows a birth time only when Astro-Databank rates it AA, A or B on the Rodden scale (AA from a birth certificate or record, A from the person, someone close to them or a news report, B from a biography). Until then, this is the rising sign for every possible time of birth on 24 October 1939, computed for Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

The chart wheel
Drawn for midday on 24 October 1939, with only the aspects that held all day. The Moon may stand up to eight degrees either side of where it is drawn. The Sun is drawn at its midday place; it moved from Libra into Scorpio at about 02:45, so its sign depends on the birth time. How to read a chart wheel

F. Murray Abraham’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about F. Murray Abraham’s private life.
Sun in Libra or Scorpio
Libra until about 02:45, then Scorpio
purpose and vitality
Born before about 02:45: Sun in Libra
With the Sun in Libra, F. Murray Abraham's vitality is likely to rise in good company, and purpose to feel real when they are creating balance or beauty with other people. The risk is losing their own direction while managing everyone else's. Deciding alone is probably harder for them than deciding with a second opinion in the room.
Born after about 02:45: Sun in Scorpio
The Sun in Scorpio finds purpose in going past the surface of things, and F. Murray Abraham's vitality tends to be fuelled by intensity rather than ease. The catch can be needing a crisis or a deep dive before they feel fully engaged. Small talk tends to bore them; a subject that interests them absorbs them completely.
The Moon in Pisces makes for a porous daily mood, one that picks up the emotional temperature of a room without choosing to. Quiet, music or time near water probably restores F. Murray Abraham more than talking things out. It can be easy for them to miss how much of what they feel belongs to someone else.
With Mercury in Scorpio, F. Murray Abraham tends to think in layers, looking for what is not being said as much as what is spoken aloud. Once they have decided to speak they can be very direct, and until then, silent. The tension is suspecting a hidden motive where there is only an ordinary one.
Venus in Scorpio loves intensely and privately, and F. Murray Abraham is likely to value depth and total honesty over ease. Testing loyalty can create the very distance this placement fears most. There is an all-or-nothing quality to how this Venus commits, with little interest in anything in between.
Mars in Aquarius acts on principle, and its anger surfaces most over unfairness or hypocrisy rather than personal slights. F. Murray Abraham can detach from a conflict so thoroughly that the other person feels shut out. The issue tends to get argued with heat while the relationship itself is treated with strange calm.
Jupiter in Aries
0° Aries 29' at midday ℞
growth and excess
Jupiter in Aries grows through bold, direct action and taking the first step before feeling fully ready. F. Murray Abraham's overreach, on this reading, is starting more than can realistically be finished. A burst of confidence tends to get a new venture off the ground, whether or not the groundwork is in place.
Saturn in Aries builds discipline around learning to act with patience instead of pure impulse. For F. Murray Abraham, that suggests a doubt that takes the form of second-guessing: too fast, or not fast enough? Confidence in their own initiative tends to come slowly, once the rush goes out of every decision.
Uranus in Taurus
20° Taurus 44' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Uranus in Taurus is a generational placement that F. Murray Abraham shares with many people born within a few years. That generation rethinks ownership, land and what security means, often through technology that unsettles older arrangements. Personally, that may be a reluctance to prize things simply because an older generation did.
Neptune in Virgo
24° Virgo 24' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune moves slowly, so F. Murray Abraham shares its place in Virgo with people born years either side. The imagination of this generation turns towards service, craft and idealised routines of self-improvement. In one life it can mean chasing an impossibly perfect daily practice.
Pluto in Leo
2° Leo 53' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Leo is held by a whole generation, one that transforms ideas of individual power, leadership and fame. At a personal scale, for F. Murray Abraham, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in F. Murray Abraham’s chart
How the planets stand to each other, tightest first. Without a birth time the orbs are those at midday, and aspects to the Moon are left out because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day.
Mercury opposition Uranus
about 0.8° at midday
With Mercury opposite Uranus, F. Murray Abraham's unconventional ideas meet other people's fixed positions, which can turn a good insight into an unnecessary standoff. Presenting the idea as an option rather than a challenge tends to land better.
Venus square Mars
about 1.2° at midday
Desire and the need for harmony can clash where Venus squares Mars, and F. Murray Abraham may be caught between wanting something and wanting to keep the peace. What the aspect asks for is a want voiced directly, before it leaks out sideways.
Jupiter trine Pluto
about 2.4° at midday
In this trine, F. Murray Abraham's optimism and capacity for transformation feed each other, and the combination can give them the power to turn a big vision into lasting change. The growth it brings tends to be deep as well as broad, which is why the bigger changes usually stick.
Sun square Pluto
about 2.5° at midday
With this aspect, F. Murray Abraham's identity can get entangled in struggles over control, whether inwardly or with people who challenge them. Whenever F. Murray Abraham chooses to change rather than to dominate, the friction turns into hard-won strength they can rely on the next time things get difficult.
Sun opposition Saturn
about 2.8° at midday
With the Sun opposite Saturn, F. Murray Abraham is likely to find that asserting who they are brings them up against the caution, rules or authority figures that seem to stand in the way. Working through that tension builds a confidence that does not need everyone's approval to hold steady.
Saturn square Pluto
about 5.3° at midday
Saturn square Pluto sets the need for control against the instinct for transformation, and F. Murray Abraham may grip a structure most tightly at the very moment it needs to change. Each old form that is let go leaves a strength behind that is more real than the grip was.
The rest, listed without a reading. Those between Uranus, Neptune and Pluto hold for years at a time, so everyone born while one holds shares it.
