Daniel Dae Kim’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
4 August 1968 was a Sunday: the day Daniel Dae Kim was born in Busan, South Korea. The Sun was in Leo, so Leo is their zodiac sign, with the Moon in Sagittarius. They turn 58 in 2026. No verified birth time is on file for them; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
Of the ten planets, five are in fire signs, three in earth and two in water; none is in air. Fixed signs hold four, mutable signs four and cardinal signs two. Three planets stand together in Leo: Sun, Mercury and Venus. Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto all fall in Virgo. They are slow planets, so the grouping is shared with people born around the same time. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Venus and Neptune: a square, about 0.4° 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: Neptune. The Moon was waxing gibbous, between first quarter and full.
StarMap's dataset holds 14 other people born on 4 August, among them Louis Armstrong, Pumpuang Duangjan and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.

Daniel Dae Kim’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Leo
about 11° Leo at midday
A Leo Sun shines. For Daniel Dae Kim that suggests warmth, generosity and a need to be seen for who they really are, running through much of what they do. This placement grows by learning that the light is not diminished when it is shared.
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 Daniel Dae Kim, 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 Busan, South Korea, at each hour of the day.
Daniel Dae Kim’s rising sign, by birth time

Daniel Dae Kim’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Daniel Dae Kim’s private life.
Purpose for Daniel Dae Kim is probably tied to creating and being seen doing it, and a Leo Sun's vitality rises the moment there is an audience, even an audience of one. The tension is losing steam when no one is watching. The giveaway is often the extra effort that goes into something the moment someone notices them making it.
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 Daniel Dae Kim edgy faster than most people expect. With this Moon, the next trip tends to be planned before the current one has finished.
Mercury in Leo gives Daniel Dae Kim 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 Daniel Dae Kim more persuasive than accurate. A simple update, in their hands, can become something closer to a performance.
Venus in Leo loves generously and openly, and values being someone's clear favourite above almost anything else on offer. For Daniel Dae Kim, 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 Daniel Dae Kim, 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 Virgo
8° Virgo 45' 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 Daniel Dae Kim, 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.
Saturn in Aries builds discipline around learning to act with patience instead of pure impulse. For Daniel Dae Kim, that suggests a doubt that takes the form of second-guessing: too fast, or not fast enough? Confidence in their own initiative tends to come slowly, once the rush goes out of every decision.
Uranus in Virgo
26° Virgo 43' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus takes about seven years to cross a sign, so in Daniel Dae Kim's chart Uranus in Virgo describes an age group as much as a single person. It is a generation that changes how work and daily routine are done, through new methods and new technology. In one person it can be an instinct to question inherited routines.
Neptune in Scorpio
23° Scorpio 45' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
Neptune in Scorpio marks a long season that Daniel Dae Kim 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
21° Virgo 13' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Virgo is shared by Daniel Dae Kim 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 Daniel Dae Kim’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.
Venus square Neptune
about 0.4° at midday
Under Venus square Neptune, affection can blur into an idealised picture of love, and disappointment follows when a real person or relationship falls short of the dream. Daniel Dae Kim's task is to love what is there, which tends to prove more durable than loving the fantasy.
Venus trine Saturn
about 1.4° at midday
A steady, dependable way of loving, one that people trust, is what this trine gives Daniel Dae Kim, since affection and commitment hold each other up. Relationships built on it tend to last, often well past the point where less committed people would have moved on.
Mars sextile Uranus
about 2.2° at midday
Bold, original action comes to Daniel Dae Kim without much friction, because drive and independence are on good terms in this sextile. It is useful initiative with little drama attached, the sort that tries something new without making a big production of it.
Mars square Saturn
about 3.4° at midday
Daniel Dae Kim's drive can meet resistance, from outside obstacles or from private doubt, and frustration builds when progress feels blocked. Under this square, every stretch of steady work done anyway turns that resistance into competence, the kind that is there when it is needed most.
Sun conjunction Mercury
about 3.7° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Mercury, Daniel Dae Kim'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 trine Neptune
about 5.2° at midday
An inspired, almost effortless way of pursuing creative or compassionate goals belongs to Mars trine Neptune, which puts Daniel Dae Kim's drive and imagination in step. Energy and vision arrive together, so starting a meaningful project is likely to feel far less daunting than it looks from outside.
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?
