Bong Joon Ho’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Bong Joon Ho was born in Daegu, South Korea, on 14 September 1969, a Sunday. The Sun was in Virgo, so Virgo is their zodiac sign, with the Moon in Libra. They turn 57 in 2026. StarMap has no verified birth time for them, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
Air carries the most weight: four of the ten planets, against earth three, fire two and water one. Cardinal signs hold four, fixed signs three and mutable signs three. Libra holds a stellium, four planets in one sign: Moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Uranus. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Mars and Pluto: a square, about 0.9° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. One planet was retrograde: Saturn. The Moon was a waxing crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 11 other people born on 14 September, among them Dmitry Medvedev, Amy Winehouse and Sam Neill.

Bong Joon Ho’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Virgo
about 21° Virgo at midday
A Virgo Sun refines. Bong Joon Ho 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
Libra
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
A Libra Moon feels through relationship. Harmony nearby tends to settle Bong Joon Ho, and conflict, even other people's, can unsettle them. What restores this Moon is beauty, fairness, and one person who truly listens.
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 Daegu, South Korea, at each hour of the day.

Bong Joon Ho’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Bong Joon Ho’s private life.
A Virgo Sun finds purpose in being useful and doing a job properly, and Bong Joon Ho'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.
A Libra Moon needs harmony in the immediate surroundings to feel settled day to day, and a tense conversation nearby can throw off Bong Joon Ho's whole afternoon. Comfort comes from pleasant company and pleasant spaces. The habit to watch is smoothing things over before they have worked out what they want.
Mercury in Libra thinks by weighing both sides, and Bong Joon Ho tends to communicate diplomatically, often finding the version of an idea that will land well with whoever is listening. Settling on an opinion can take so long that the moment for it passes. They may change their mind in the middle of a conversation because the other point had merit.
Venus in Leo loves generously and openly, and values being someone's clear favourite above almost anything else on offer. For Bong Joon Ho, 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 Sagittarius acts boldly and wants room to move while doing it, and its anger flares fast over anything that feels like a limit on freedom. Bong Joon Ho may speak bluntly in the heat of the moment and smooth it over later. Given the choice, this placement walks away from a fight rather than staying to work it out.
Jupiter in Libra
10° Libra 53' at midday
growth and excess
In Bong Joon Ho'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 Taurus gathers its discipline around security and the things a person relies on, and Bong Joon Ho is likely to take very little for granted. The doubt is a fear that stability could disappear, even when it clearly has not. This placement likes to know what things cost before committing, and tends to stay careful even in steady times.
Uranus in Libra
3° Libra 33' at midday
freedom, generational
Bong Joon Ho holds Uranus in Libra in common with many people born in the same stretch of years. Together that generation reshapes ideas of partnership, fairness and how relationships are arranged. Its personal side is a readiness to question traditional roles more openly than earlier generations felt able to.
Neptune in Scorpio
26° Scorpio 18' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Scorpio marks a long season that Bong Joon Ho 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 Virgo
24° Virgo 47' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Virgo is shared by Bong Joon Ho and many people born in the same span of years. That generation lives through deep change in work, in how services are organised, and in daily life itself. In one person that can be intensity around control, order and how much any one system can carry.
Aspects in Bong Joon Ho’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.
Mars square Pluto
about 0.9° at midday
With Mars square Pluto, Bong Joon Ho's drive can turn into a fight for control, whether the opponent is within them or is someone who resists them. When they redirect that intensity into the work itself, the friction becomes lasting strength.
Sun conjunction Pluto
about 3.7° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Pluto, Bong Joon Ho's identity is likely to be intense and transformative, with feelings that run at full volume rather than in moderation. Depth and staying power are the reward, and the thing to outgrow is needing a situation to become a crisis before it feels meaningful.
Mercury conjunction Jupiter
about 3.7° at midday
Bong Joon Ho'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.
Sun square Mars
about 4.6° at midday
Impatience, or a habit of picking fights that did not need picking, can come from the clash between Bong Joon Ho'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.
Sun sextile Neptune
about 5.2° at midday
Creativity and empathy are there when Bong Joon Ho makes room for them, because identity and imagination work gently together in this aspect. The sensitivity is soft, and people notice it without it having to be announced.
Venus trine Mars
about 6.6° at midday
Bong Joon Ho is likely to have a warm, confident way of going after what, and who, they want, since affection and drive back each other up. Romance and creative work tend to come without strain under this trine, in a manner other people find refreshingly straightforward.
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?
