Mel Blanc’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Mel Blanc was born in San Francisco, California, on 30 May 1908, a Saturday. That made Mel a Gemini, with the Moon in Gemini. Mel died on 10 July 1989, aged 81. No verified birth time is on file for Mel; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
Of the ten planets, four are in water signs, three in air, two in fire and one in earth. Cardinal signs hold six, mutable signs three and fixed signs one. Mercury, Venus, Mars and Neptune all fall in Cancer. Sun, Moon and Pluto all fall in Gemini. The tightest aspect is Sun sextile Jupiter, about 0.1° 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: Uranus. Over the course of the day the Moon went from new to waxing crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 11 other people born on 30 May, among them Steven Gerrard, Benny Goodman and Agnès Varda.

Mel Blanc’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Gemini
about 8° Gemini at midday
A Gemini Sun connects. Ideas, people and conversations are its element, and Mel Blanc probably learns by talking things through. This placement is happiest with two projects and a question nobody has answered yet.
Moon sign
Gemini
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
The Moon in Gemini processes feeling by naming it. For Mel, talking, writing and switching perspective are likely ways to settle, and silence can make small worries loud. They probably need people who let them think out loud.
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 San Francisco, California, at each hour of the day.
Mel Blanc’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Mel 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 30 May 1908, computed for San Francisco, California.

Mel Blanc’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Mel Blanc’s private life.
For Mel Blanc, the Sun in Gemini means vitality that comes from variety, and purpose that feels most real when they are learning or explaining something new. What suffers is focus, with energy scattered across too many half-finished things at once. Several projects and three hobbies on the go at the same time would be in character.
The Moon in Gemini runs its daily habits on conversation and mental stimulation, and Mel is likely to settle by talking a worry through rather than sitting with it quietly. A day with no one to talk to can leave them restless. The habit is to message a friend the moment something comes to mind, before deciding what to think about it.
Mercury in Cancer thinks in terms of memory and feeling as much as logic, and Mel probably communicates best when there is emotional trust in the room. Mood can colour how a fact gets delivered or received. Years after the details have faded, this is a mind that remembers exactly how a conversation felt.
Venus in Cancer loves by nurturing, and for Mel that suggests valuing emotional safety over almost anything else in a relationship. Old hurts tend to linger here long after the person who caused them has changed. This is a Venus that feeds people, checks on people and quietly keeps score of who has shown up in return.
Mars in Cancer acts to protect the people and things that matter, and its anger is usually about feeling hurt more than feeling wronged. The habit to watch, for Mel, may be going quiet or indirect instead of naming the upset. Other people tend to notice a shift of mood and take a while to trace it back to its cause.
Jupiter in Leo
8° Leo 49' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Leo grows through creative confidence and a willingness to take up space. For Mel the overreach may be overselling their own contribution or expecting more credit than a situation calls for. There is a natural showmanship here that lifts a room, and occasionally a story that grows a little in the retelling.
Saturn in Aries builds discipline around learning to act with patience instead of pure impulse. For Mel, 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 Capricorn
16° Capricorn 17' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Many people within a few years of Mel's age share Uranus in Capricorn, the mark of a generation that dismantles and rebuilds old institutions and structures of authority. Personally, that can mean scepticism towards any system that asks for trust without having shown why it deserves it.
Neptune in Cancer
13° Cancer 16' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Cancer is shared by Mel and many people born in the same decade or so. The generation idealises home and family, often carrying a wider nostalgia for a version of belonging that may never quite have existed. Personally it can be a soft-focus longing for a childhood home.
Pluto in Gemini
23° Gemini 54' at midday
power, generational
Mel shares Pluto in Gemini with many people born in the same long stretch of years. That generation transforms communication and collective thought, often through upheavals in how information is controlled and shared. The personal portion is an intense relationship with what counts as truth.
Aspects in Mel Blanc’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.
Sun sextile Jupiter
about 0.1° at midday
Optimism is part of who Mel Blanc is, and it tends to show them open doors, provided they are willing to walk through. With some deliberate effort behind it, the outlook of a Sun-Jupiter sextile becomes momentum that carries past the first burst of enthusiasm.
Jupiter trine Saturn
about 0.9° at midday
Optimism and discipline reinforce each other in this trine, which lets Mel pursue big goals with steady follow-through. Growth of this kind tends to be gradual and durable, not sudden and fragile, the sort of progress that survives a difficult year.
Sun sextile Saturn
about 1.0° at midday
Steady, unglamorous effort is likely to feel worthwhile to Mel rather than draining, because it fits their sense of who they are. Consistency probably comes more easily to them than they give themselves credit for, especially once they stop waiting for permission to claim it.
Venus opposition Uranus
about 1.7° at midday
Mel may want intimacy and still feel a reflex to protect their freedom the moment things seem too certain; that is the tension of Venus opposite Uranus. Naming the need for space early tends to work better than acting on it as sudden distance.
Mars square Saturn
about 2.6° at midday
Mel'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.
Mercury conjunction Mars
about 4.4° at midday
With Mercury conjunct Mars, thinking and the drive to act are closely linked, so ideas turn into words and decisions almost immediately. It makes Mel quick and direct in conversation, and the discipline is letting a thought settle before saying it out loud.
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?
