Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani’s birth chart
Born 25 August 1934, in Bahreman, Iran. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.

Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
25 August 1934 was a Saturday: the day Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani was born in Bahreman, Iran. The Sun was in Virgo, so Virgo was their zodiac sign, with the Moon in Pisces. Akbar died on 8 January 2017, aged 82. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.
Of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, three are in earth signs, three in water, two in air and one in fire. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is three, three and three. The tightest aspect is Sun trine Uranus, about 0.1° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Saturn and Uranus were retrograde. Over the course of the day the Moon went from full to waning gibbous.
StarMap's dataset holds 24 other people born on 25 August, among them Sean Connery, Tim Burton and Claudia Schiffer.

Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Virgo
about 1° Virgo at midday
A Virgo Sun refines. Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani is likely to notice what could be better and quietly make it so, keeping the highest standards for themselves. The art of this placement is knowing when good enough is the wiser choice.
Moon sign
Pisces
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
With the Moon in Pisces, Akbar may well pick up the mood of a whole room. Music, water, sleep and imagination tend to restore them, and it matters whose moods they carry home. The empathy of this Moon is a gift that needs a door.
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 Bahreman, Iran, at each hour of the day.
Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Akbar 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 25 August 1934, computed for Bahreman, Iran.

Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani’s private life.
A Virgo Sun finds purpose in being useful and doing a job properly, and Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani's energy tends to stay steady as long as there is a task worth doing well. Rest is the hard part, because it can feel undeserved until everything is fixed. Typically a piece of work is still being adjusted long after everyone else would call it finished.
The Moon in Pisces makes for a porous daily mood, one that picks up the emotional temperature of a room without choosing to. Quiet, music or time near water probably restores Akbar more than talking things out. It can be easy for them to miss how much of what they feel belongs to someone else.
Mercury in Leo or Virgo
Leo until about 05:45, then Virgo
mind and voice
Born before about 05:45: Mercury in Leo
Mercury in Leo gives Akbar 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 Akbar more persuasive than accurate. A simple update, in their hands, can become something closer to a performance.
Born after about 05:45: Mercury in Virgo
For Akbar, Mercury in Virgo points to thinking that is precise and attentive to detail, and to clear communication, because the facts have usually been checked first. The catch is fixating on a small error and losing sight of the larger point. This is the placement that edits a message three times before sending something everyone else would have sent in one go.
Venus in Leo loves generously and openly, and values being someone's clear favourite above almost anything else on offer. For Akbar, the tension this suggests is needing steady reassurance of still being adored. Their gestures tend to be grand and thoughtful, and it can sting when those go unnoticed.
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 Akbar, 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 Libra
20° Libra 41' at midday
growth and excess
In Akbar'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.
With Saturn in Aquarius, Akbar'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 Taurus
1° Taurus 19' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Uranus in Taurus is a generational placement that Akbar 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
11° Virgo 43' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune moves slowly, so Akbar 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
25° Cancer 17' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Cancer dates Akbar 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 Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani’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 trine Uranus
about 0.1° at midday
Being original feels easy rather than effortful with this aspect, because Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani's sense of self and need for freedom sit comfortably together. They are likely to gravitate towards places that let them be exactly who they are without much friction.
Mercury trine Uranus
about 0.8° at midday
Insight is likely to come to Akbar 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 conjunction Mercury
about 0.9° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Mercury, Akbar'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.
Mars conjunction Pluto
about 1.4° at midday
With Mars conjunct Pluto, drive tends to be intense and relentless, and once Akbar is committed to something they are likely to see it through whatever the cost. There is staying power to spare, so the art is in choosing battles, and keeping that intensity away from the ones that do not deserve it.
Jupiter trine Saturn
about 3.6° at midday
Optimism and discipline reinforce each other in this trine, which lets Akbar 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.
Jupiter square Pluto
about 4.6° at midday
Ambition can turn into a struggle for control under this square, over outcomes that were never fully Akbar's to control. The considerable drive involved is better aimed at transformation than at domination, which tends to produce a result that lasts.
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?
