Harvey Keitel’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
13 May 1939 was a Saturday: the day Harvey Keitel was born in Brooklyn, New York. The Sun was in Taurus, so Taurus is their zodiac sign, with the Moon in Pisces. Harvey turns 87 in 2026. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.
By element the count is four fire, four earth, two water and no air. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is six, two and two. Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn all fall in Aries. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Mercury and Pluto: a square, about 0.8° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. One planet was retrograde: Neptune. The Moon was a waning crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 22 other people born on 13 May, among them Stevie Wonder, Robert Pattinson and Romelu Lukaku. Wikidata links Harvey with one person in the dataset: Lorraine Bracco (listed as partners, 1982 to 1993).

Harvey Keitel’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Taurus
about 21° Taurus at midday
A Taurus Sun builds. Comfort, steadiness and things that last probably matter more to Harvey Keitel than novelty, and people tend to trust someone who does not change their mind for show. The growth edge is letting go before something stops working.
Moon sign
Pisces
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
With the Moon in Pisces, Harvey 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 Brooklyn, New York, at each hour of the day.
Harvey Keitel’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Harvey 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 13 May 1939, computed for Brooklyn, New York.

Harvey Keitel’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Harvey Keitel’s private life.
A Taurus Sun finds purpose in building something that lasts, and Harvey Keitel's vitality probably runs slow and steady rather than in bursts. The drawback is a reluctance to change course even when the plan is clearly not working. People with this Sun can stay in one job or one home long after part of them knows it is time to move.
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 Harvey more than talking things out. It can be easy for them to miss how much of what they feel belongs to someone else.
Mercury in Aries suggests that Harvey thinks in quick, decisive strokes and says what they mean without much preamble. Sometimes the words arrive before the thought is fully formed, which can come across sharper than intended. It is a mind that finishes other people's sentences and prefers a fast decision to a long meeting.
Venus in Aries loves with immediacy and pursues what it wants without much hesitation, and it values a partner who can keep up. For Harvey that suggests an interest that can fade once the chase is over. The pattern is to fall fast and to need a relationship to keep feeling like a choice, not a routine.
Mars in Capricorn acts with discipline and patience, playing a longer game than most, and in Harvey's case its anger tends to be controlled, arriving as coldness rather than heat. The tendency is to go quiet and distant instead of saying what is wrong. A frustration is something to outwork rather than voice.
Jupiter in Aries
0° Aries 24' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Aries grows through bold, direct action and taking the first step before feeling fully ready. Harvey'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 Harvey, 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
18° Taurus 04' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus in Taurus is a generational placement that Harvey 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
20° Virgo 38' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
Neptune moves slowly, so Harvey 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 Cancer
29° Cancer 25' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Cancer dates Harvey to an era rather than describing one person. Those born in it live through deep transformation of family, home and nationhood. What an individual may carry is intensity around belonging and who counts as family.
Aspects in Harvey Keitel’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 square Pluto
about 0.8° at midday
A simple disagreement can turn into something more charged when Mercury is square Pluto, as Harvey Keitel looks for motives that may not be there. The lesson is trusting a straightforward answer when the evidence supports one, rather than assuming the deeper explanation is always the true one.
Jupiter trine Pluto
about 1.0° at midday
In this trine, Harvey'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.
Mars square Saturn
about 1.2° at midday
Harvey's drive can meet resistance, from outside obstacles or from private doubt, and frustration builds when progress feels blocked. Under this square, every stretch of steady work done anyway turns that resistance into competence, the kind that is there when it is needed most.
Sun trine Neptune
about 1.3° at midday
Harvey's identity and imagination flow together easily, giving them an intuitive, artistic quality that feels natural rather than performed. With the Sun trine Neptune, compassion comes without much effort, and other people often sense it before a word has been said.
Mercury square Mars
about 2.5° at midday
With Mercury square Mars, thought and impulse can clash, and sharp words get said before Harvey has fully thought them through. The remedy is a short pause between the thought and the sentence, which changes very little except the outcome.
Venus conjunction Saturn
about 3.3° at midday
Venus conjunct Saturn describes a serious, committed way of loving, and Harvey is likely to treat a relationship as something to build, not simply to enjoy. Loyalty comes with it. So does the harder task of trusting that affection can be deserved before it has been worked for.
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.

How this page is made
Planet positions are computed with the astronomy-engine ephemeris and checked against Swiss Ephemeris. Birth dates and places come from Wikidata; birth times, where StarMap has one, come from Astro-Databank and are shown with their Rodden rating. The readings describe what a placement is traditionally taken to mean. They are written by StarMap for reflection and entertainment, not as statements about the person’s private life. New to charts?
