Steve Harvey’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Steve Harvey was born on Thursday, 17 January 1957, in Welch, West Virginia. The Sun was in Capricorn, so Capricorn is their zodiac sign, with the Moon in Leo. Steve turns 69 in 2026. StarMap has no verified birth time for Steve, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
By element the count is five fire, three earth, one air and one water. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is five, four and one. Three planets stand together in Capricorn: Sun, Mercury and Venus. Leo holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Moon, Uranus and Pluto. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Neptune and Pluto: a sextile, about 2.6° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Four planets were retrograde: Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto. The Moon was waning gibbous, between full and last quarter.
StarMap's dataset holds 26 other people born on 17 January, among them Muhammad Ali, Jim Carrey and Betty White.

Steve Harvey’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Capricorn
about 27° Capricorn at midday
A Capricorn Sun endures. Ambition, patience and a dry sense of humour are what tend to carry Steve Harvey up long slopes other people give up on. The placement learns, eventually, that rest is part of the climb.
Moon sign
Leo
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
A Leo Moon feels with its whole heart and needs that to be noticed. Warm attention tends to fill Steve up, and being overlooked can empty them faster than anything. Play, creativity and loyal friends usually bring them back to themselves.
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 Welch, West Virginia, at each hour of the day.

Steve Harvey’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Steve Harvey’s private life.
With the Sun in Capricorn, Steve Harvey is likely to find purpose in building a reputation and a structure that will outlast them, with a vitality that is steady rather than showy. The trap can be measuring their worth by output alone. They may well work through tiredness instead of naming it, until someone else has to point it out.
A Leo Moon needs warmth and acknowledgement worked into everyday life, not just on big occasions. A day with no one noticing can drain Steve faster than a hard day with an audience. The mood tends to lift visibly the moment someone compliments something small Steve did.
Mercury in Capricorn thinks methodically, and Steve tends to communicate in a measured, practical way that people trust. The focus on a useful conclusion can be so strong that ideas which have not yet proven their worth are dismissed. Steve will often get straight to the point in a conversation other people expected to be casual.
For Steve, Venus in Capricorn means loving in a measured, committed way and valuing stability, ambition and someone to build a life with. The trap is treating a relationship like a project to manage rather than let unfold. With this Venus, love comes out more easily as providing and planning than as words said out loud.
For Steve, Mars in Aries points to acting immediately and decisively, with anger that tends to flare fast, hot and honest before it clears. The downside is acting before a situation has been thought all the way through. The argument or the project tends to start the second the impulse arrives, with little patience for waiting.
Jupiter in Libra
1° Libra 47' at midday ℞
growth and excess
In Steve's chart, Jupiter in Libra suggests growth through partnership and a gift for bringing people together. Excess here looks like pleasing people so broadly that every expectation becomes a commitment. Someone with this Jupiter is often the connector whose introductions and events other people benefit from more than they realise.
Saturn in Sagittarius builds discipline around belief and meaning, testing a big idea hard before committing to it. In front of people who might challenge a conviction, Steve is likely to hedge. Over time, someone with this Saturn often becomes a credible voice on the very questions they once felt they had no right to answer.
Uranus in Leo
5° Leo 16' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Steve shares Uranus in Leo with a generation, one that redefines self-expression and individuality, often through forms of creativity and visibility that were not available before. Closer to home, it suggests being comfortable with being seen in ways older relatives find unfamiliar.
Neptune in Scorpio
2° Scorpio 31' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Scorpio marks a long season that Steve shares with many people of a similar age. Its imagination is drawn to the hidden, the taboo and the transformative, with a wider cultural fascination for secrets and endings. In an individual that can be a pull towards mystery for its own sake.
Pluto in Leo
29° Leo 56' 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 Steve, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in Steve Harvey’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.
Jupiter sextile Uranus
about 3.5° at midday
This sextile puts possibility and originality on easy terms, so Steve Harvey can take up a fresh opportunity without much disruption. Think of it as innovation at low cost, the kind that improves something without first tearing it down.
Venus sextile Neptune
about 3.5° at midday
Romance and creative warmth tend to be within easy reach for Steve, thanks to a gentle working link between affection and imagination. The tenderness is soft and pleasant, not an intense longing, and it is the sort that makes ordinary moments with someone feel a little more meaningful.
Sun square Mars
about 3.9° at midday
Impatience, or a habit of picking fights that did not need picking, can come from the clash between Steve's sense of self and their drive to act. With the Sun square Mars, a pause between the impulse and the action turns this friction into determination they can use.
Venus square Jupiter
about 4.3° at midday
Under this square, Steve's generosity can run past what is sustainable, whether in time, affection or promises made in a warm moment. The warmth is sincere; the work is matching it to a scale that can be kept up over the months that follow the excitement, not only the first one.
Sun trine Jupiter
about 4.5° at midday
With the Sun trine Jupiter, Steve's sense of self and instinct for growth support each other, which gives them a warm, expansive confidence. They are likely to be quick to see an opening and to make the most of it without forcing anything.
Sun square Neptune
about 5.2° at midday
A Sun-Neptune square can blur Steve's sense of who they are under the pull of an ideal, a cause or someone else's story, until it is unclear where they end and the dream begins. The task is staying inspired without losing their own outline.
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?
