About Herman Melville
American novelist and poet best known for Moby-Dick, now considered one of the great American novels though it was a commercial failure in his lifetime. His experiences as a sailor and whaler deeply informed his fiction. He died in obscurity before being rediscovered in the 20th century.
Herman Melville the Leo
Leo is warmth with the volume up. A fixed fire sign ruled by the Sun itself, Leo is here to create, to express, and to make the people nearby feel a bit more alive for having been noticed. The reputation for wanting attention undersells it: what Leo actually wants is to be seen, which is a different and more human thing.

- Dotted: uncertain without a birth time
- Conjunctions sit side by side
Drawn from the birth date alone: without a birth time there is no Rising sign or houses, and a planet that changed sign that day shows both signs.
