Akio Morita’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Akio Morita was born on Wednesday, 26 January 1921, in Nagoya, Japan. The Sun was in Aquarius, so Aquarius was their zodiac sign. The Moon left Leo for Virgo at about 02:05 local time, which leaves the Moon sign open without a birth time. Akio died on 3 October 1999, aged 78. No verified birth time is on file for Akio; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
Of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, four are in water signs, two in earth, two in air and one in fire. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is one, three and five. Pisces holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Venus, Mars and Uranus. The tightest aspect is Mercury opposition Neptune, about 0.5° 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: Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto. The Moon was waning gibbous, between full and last quarter.
StarMap's dataset holds 14 other people born on 26 January, among them Paul Newman, José Mourinho and Ellen DeGeneres.

Akio Morita’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Aquarius
about 5° Aquarius at midday
An Aquarius Sun sees differently. Ideas ahead of their time, a wide circle of friends and a stubborn streak of independence are the marks of this placement in Akio Morita's chart. The growth is letting people close without feeling caged.
Moon sign
Leo or Virgo
Leo until about 02:05, then Virgo (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 02:05: Moon in Leo
A Leo Moon feels with its whole heart and needs that to be noticed. Warm attention tends to fill Akio up, and being overlooked can empty them faster than anything. Play, creativity and loyal friends usually bring them back to themselves.
Born after about 02:05: Moon in Virgo
A Virgo Moon feels by fixing. When something is wrong, Akio is likely to look for the practical cause and to calm down by tidying, planning or being useful. The lesson of this Moon is to accept help without a to-do list attached.
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 Nagoya, Japan, at each hour of the day.
Akio Morita’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Akio 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 26 January 1921, computed for Nagoya, Japan.

Akio Morita’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Akio Morita’s private life.
Akio Morita's purpose, with the Sun in Aquarius, probably lies in being useful to a group or an idea bigger than themselves, with a vitality that rises around causes and communities. The tension can be detaching from their own needs while championing everyone else's. It is the placement of the reliable one at meetings who is the hardest person to reach one to one.

Leo until about 02:05, then Virgo
needs and habits
Born before about 02:05: Moon in Leo
A Leo Moon needs warmth and acknowledgement worked into everyday life, not just on big occasions. A day with no one noticing can drain Akio faster than a hard day with an audience. The mood tends to lift visibly the moment someone compliments something small Akio did.
Born after about 02:05: Moon in Virgo
The Moon in Virgo runs towards order, and a messy space or an unfinished list can unsettle Akio's mood more than most people would guess. Small, useful tasks are calming. The trouble can start when Akio's own needs become another chore to get right instead of something to enjoy.
In Akio's chart, Mercury in Aquarius describes thinking that is original and a step removed from convention, and communication that works best through ideas rather than small talk. The stubborn streak is holding a position out of principle after the evidence has moved on. In a group, this is the person who asks the question nobody else thought to ask.
Venus in Pisces loves without much guard, and Akio probably values emotional and even spiritual connection over anything practical. The temptation can be to idealise a partner before really seeing them. Generosity in relationships comes easily here, and so does missing the moment when giving starts to outweigh getting.
With Mars in Pisces, Akio is likely to act indirectly, often through avoidance or quiet withdrawal rather than confrontation, and anger can turn into sadness before it has even been named as anger. The habit is to absorb conflict rather than address it. Often they need to leave a tense room before they can work out what they feel.
Jupiter in Virgo
18° Virgo 07' at midday ℞
growth and excess
Jupiter in Virgo finds its growth in mastering a craft in unglamorous detail, one small correction at a time. For Akio, perfectionism may be the excess, turning growth into an endless list of corrections. People with this Jupiter are often trusted with more responsibility than they feel they deserve, usually because the care in the work shows.
Competence is what Saturn in Virgo builds discipline around, often driven by a fear of not yet having done enough to deserve rest. Akio may feel like a fraud even when the track record says otherwise. The usual result is someone quietly excellent at something long before they will admit it out loud.
Uranus in Pisces
3° Pisces 58' at midday
freedom, generational
Akio has Uranus in Pisces in common with a generation. That generation transforms spirituality, art and collective imagination, often blurring boundaries that earlier ones kept firm. In one person it may be noticed as an openness to ideas that resist neat categories.
Neptune in Leo
12° Leo 34' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
Neptune in Leo is the imagination of an age group, not of Akio alone. It dreams in terms of fame, spectacle and larger-than-life self-expression. The trace of it in one person is a pull towards performance as a way of feeling real.
Pluto in Cancer
7° Cancer 19' at midday ℞
power, generational
Pluto in Cancer dates Akio 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 Akio Morita’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 opposition Neptune
about 0.5° at midday
Under Mercury opposite Neptune, clear thinking competes with the lure of an appealing story or a hopeful assumption. Checking conclusions against plain evidence keeps Akio Morita on firm ground, without asking them to give up the imagination that makes their thinking interesting in the first place.
Mars opposition Jupiter
about 2.0° at midday
Mars opposite Jupiter pits Akio's own direct action against other people's grander plans or expectations, which can end in overcommitting to someone else's vision. Akio's own sense of scale is usually a better guide than anyone else's.
Venus opposition Saturn
about 2.6° at midday
The pull in this aspect is between wanting closeness and a wariness that keeps testing whether it will last. For Akio, letting someone prove themselves gradually, instead of doubting them from the outset, tends to build security sooner than suspicion does.
Venus opposition Jupiter
about 3.6° at midday
With Venus opposite Jupiter, Akio's own taste can pull against other people's grander expectations of romance or generosity, and the temptation is to overextend to meet them. Trusting a private sense of what is enough works better than matching someone else's scale.
Venus conjunction Mars
about 5.7° at midday
With Venus conjunct Mars, affection and drive are closely linked, so, for Akio, wanting something and going after it are likely to feel like one impulse. The aspect brings plenty of romantic and creative energy; its test is letting the wanting outlast the first chase.
Jupiter conjunction Saturn
about 6.2° at midday
Growth and discipline are unusually well matched when Jupiter is conjunct Saturn, so Akio's optimism tends to come with a realistic plan attached. It is an effective combination for building things that last, with vision balanced by the patience to see it through.
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.
