Aga Khan IV’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Aga Khan IV was born on Sunday, 13 December 1936, in Genthod, Switzerland. Their zodiac sign was Sagittarius, with the Moon in Sagittarius. They died on 4 February 2025, aged 88. StarMap has no verified birth time for them, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
Earth carries the most weight: four of the ten planets, against fire two, air two and water two. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is four, two and four. The tightest aspect is Mercury trine Uranus, about 1.1° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Uranus and Pluto were retrograde. Over the course of the day the Moon went from waning crescent to new.
StarMap's dataset holds 13 other people born on 13 December, among them Taylor Swift, Christopher Plummer and Jamie Foxx.

Aga Khan IV’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Sagittarius
about 21° Sagittarius at midday
A Sagittarius Sun seeks. Meaning, distance and the bigger picture are likely to pull Aga Khan IV forward, and the honesty of this placement is a kind of generosity. Its lesson is that the journey also needs somewhere to land.
Moon sign
Sagittarius
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
A Sagittarius Moon feels best in motion. Open roads, new ideas and honest laughter probably lift Aga Khan IV, 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 Genthod, Switzerland, at each hour of the day.
Aga Khan IV’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Aga Khan IV 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 December 1936, computed for Genthod, Switzerland.

Aga Khan IV’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Aga Khan IV’s private life.
Growth, travel and ideas bigger than daily life are where Aga Khan IV's Sagittarius Sun finds purpose, and their energy tends to lift the moment there is somewhere new to go. Familiarity is what wears on this placement. A few months into any routine, however good it is, restlessness usually sets in.
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 Aga Khan IV edgy faster than most people expect. With this Moon, the next trip tends to be planned before the current one has finished.
Mercury in Capricorn thinks methodically, and Aga Khan IV 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. Aga Khan IV will often get straight to the point in a conversation other people expected to be casual.
Venus in Aquarius loves as a friend first, and values independence, shared ideas and a partner who allows plenty of room. Aga Khan IV may keep just enough distance that closeness feels slightly out of reach, even to them. This Venus can prize a partner's individuality more than the intimacy between them.
In Aga Khan IV'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 Capricorn
2° Capricorn 30' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Capricorn grows through long-term discipline, and Aga Khan IV would probably rather build slowly and properly than quickly. The overreach is taking on more responsibility than any one person should reasonably carry. The authority this Jupiter brings is slow and hard-won, the kind people tend to trust more the longer they know someone.
Saturn in Pisces builds discipline around boundaries, and it usually starts from a habit of carrying feelings that belong to other people. For Aga Khan IV, the doubt is likely to take the form of guilt for protecting their own time and energy. What this Saturn works towards is a quiet, mature compassion, once it is clear that a boundary and a closed heart are not the same thing.
Uranus in Taurus
6° Taurus 02' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Uranus in Taurus is a generational placement that Aga Khan IV 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
18° Virgo 57' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune moves slowly, so Aga Khan IV 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
28° Cancer 21' at midday ℞
power, generational
Pluto in Cancer dates Aga Khan IV 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 Aga Khan IV’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 trine Uranus
about 1.1° at midday
Insight is likely to come to Aga Khan IV fast and without much effort, the product of thinking and originality that flow together easily. With Mercury trine Uranus, new ideas tend to arrive when they are needed, often faster than they can be written down.
Sun square Neptune
about 2.3° at midday
A Sun-Neptune square can blur Aga Khan IV'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.
Mercury conjunction Jupiter
about 2.4° at midday
Aga Khan IV's thinking is likely to be expansive and enthusiastic, connecting ideas across subjects other people keep separate. It makes for lively conversation, and the habit worth adding is checking the details behind a big idea before committing to it fully.
Saturn opposition Neptune
about 2.7° at midday
Grounded, practical planning sits opposite a tendency towards doubt, or disillusionment about whether the effort is worth it, and Aga Khan IV is likely to know both. Checking in with the original inspiration, and not only with the workload, tends to restore the balance.
Jupiter trine Uranus
about 3.5° at midday
Jupiter trine Uranus gives Aga Khan IV a knack for spotting unconventional opportunities before other people do, which is what a sense of possibility and originality produce together. Growth arrives through new directions, ones a more cautious approach would probably have missed.
Venus opposition Pluto
about 3.8° at midday
A wish for deep intimacy meets a fear of losing oneself, or losing control, inside it: that is the pattern of Venus opposite Pluto. For Aga Khan IV, choosing vulnerability a little at a time, instead of guarding against it, tends to build the very depth being sought.

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?
