Meena Kumari’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Meena Kumari was born in Dadar, India, on 1 August 1933, a Tuesday. The Sun was in Leo, so Leo was their zodiac sign. The Moon was in Scorpio until about 01:55 and in Sagittarius afterwards, so the Moon sign turns on the birth time. Meena died on 31 March 1972, aged 38. 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 three fire, three earth, two air and one water, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. By modality the count is three cardinal, three fixed and three mutable. Virgo holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Venus, Jupiter and Neptune. The tightest aspect is Mars trine Saturn, about 1.1° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Two planets were retrograde: Mercury and Saturn. The Moon was waxing gibbous, between first quarter and full.
StarMap's dataset holds 17 other people born on 1 August, among them Jason Momoa, Yves Saint Laurent and Bastian Schweinsteiger.

Meena Kumari’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Leo
about 8° Leo at midday
A Leo Sun shines. For Meena Kumari that suggests warmth, generosity and a need to be seen for who they really are, running through much of what they do. This placement grows by learning that the light is not diminished when it is shared.
Moon sign
Scorpio or Sagittarius
Scorpio until about 01:55, then Sagittarius (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 01:55: Moon in Scorpio
The Moon in Scorpio feels everything and shows little. For Meena that suggests trust that is slow, private and absolute; betrayal, once it happens, is not forgotten. This Moon is restored by intimacy without performance and by time alone to let things move.
Born after about 01:55: Moon in Sagittarius
A Sagittarius Moon feels best in motion. Open roads, new ideas and honest laughter probably lift Meena, and being fenced in by other people's moods tends to weigh them down. This Moon needs room, and someone who thinks that is fine.
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 Dadar, India, at each hour of the day.
Meena Kumari’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Meena 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 1 August 1933, computed for Dadar, India.

Meena Kumari’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Meena Kumari’s private life.
Purpose for Meena Kumari is probably tied to creating and being seen doing it, and a Leo Sun's vitality rises the moment there is an audience, even an audience of one. The tension is losing steam when no one is watching. The giveaway is often the extra effort that goes into something the moment someone notices them making it.
Moon in Scorpio or Sagittarius
Scorpio until about 01:55, then Sagittarius
needs and habits
Born before about 01:55: Moon in Scorpio
For Meena, the Moon in Scorpio means emotional needs that run deep and private, and a preference for managing a hard feeling alone over explaining it while it is still raw. Trust builds slowly and is rarely given back once broken. Even among the people closest to them, this Moon is likely to need real privacy.
Born after about 01:55: Moon in Sagittarius
The Moon in Sagittarius needs room to move and a bit of novelty in its routine to feel right. A schedule with no give in it can make Meena edgy faster than most people expect. With this Moon, the next trip tends to be planned before the current one has finished.
Mercury in Leo gives Meena a mind that thinks in confident, story-shaped terms and communicates with warmth and a bit of flair, drawing people in even when the subject is dry. Attachment to being right can make Meena more persuasive than accurate. A simple update, in their hands, can become something closer to a performance.
With Venus in Virgo, Meena is likely to love through small, practical acts of service and to value competence and reliability in a partner. People with this Venus tend to be hardest on those they love most, and can mistake giving notes for giving care. They may try to fix a partner's problem before simply listening to it.
In Meena's chart, Mars in Libra acts diplomatically and prefers negotiation to confrontation, and its anger tends to stay buried until it is too big to ignore. Avoided consistently, conflict leaves resentment building underneath the calm surface. The pattern is saying yes to something that rankled, then feeling it later.
Jupiter in Virgo
21° Virgo 59' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Virgo finds its growth in mastering a craft in unglamorous detail, one small correction at a time. For Meena, perfectionism may be the excess, turning growth into an endless list of corrections. People with this Jupiter are often trusted with more responsibility than they feel they deserve, usually because the care in the work shows.
With Saturn in Aquarius, Meena's discipline probably gathers around belonging to a group on their own terms; it is the placement of the one-time outsider. The doubt means holding back the stranger ideas until there is no risk of mockery. The outsider often ends up as a trusted voice in exactly the kind of community that once seemed unlikely to accept them.
Uranus in Aries
27° Aries 25' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus spends about seven years in each sign, so Meena shares Uranus in Aries with many people of a similar age. It marks a generation that pushes for change through direct, individual action rather than waiting for permission. In one life it can appear as impatience with the slow-moving institutions older generations built.
Neptune in Virgo
8° Virgo 45' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune moves slowly, so Meena 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
23° Cancer 25' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Cancer dates Meena 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 Meena Kumari’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.
Mars trine Saturn
about 1.1° at midday
Staying power on long, difficult goals is what Mars trine Saturn offers, with drive and discipline reinforcing each other. Meena Kumari is likely to get more done, more consistently, than the visible effort would suggest, which is a quiet advantage over time.
Jupiter sextile Pluto
about 1.4° at midday
Meaningful growth without constant upheaval is what Jupiter sextile Pluto describes, with Meena's sense of possibility and depth working in concert. The opportunities that matter tend to come at a manageable pace, not all at once in a way that would be hard to absorb.
Sun conjunction Mercury
about 3.0° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Mercury, Meena's sense of self and way of thinking are fused, so an opinion can feel like a statement of who they are. They are likely to speak their mind readily, and telling a passing thought apart from their identity is a practice worth keeping up.
Venus conjunction Neptune
about 3.2° at midday
Love, for Meena, is likely to be romantic and idealistic, drawn to a kind of connection that feels almost transcendent. Venus conjunct Neptune brings tenderness and imagination, along with the task of seeing a partner clearly and not only through the ideal built around them.
Sun opposition Saturn
about 4.8° at midday
With the Sun opposite Saturn, Meena 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.
One more aspect, listed without a reading. It is between two of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, whose aspects hold for years at a time, so everyone born while it 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?
