Hikaru Nakamura’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief

Hikaru Nakamura was born on Wednesday, 9 December 1987, in Hirakata, Japan. That makes Hikaru a Sagittarius. The Moon left Cancer for Leo at about 13:40 local time, which leaves the Moon sign open without a birth time. Hikaru turns 39 in 2026. 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, five are in fire signs, two in earth and two in water; none is in air. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is three, two and four. Sun, Mercury, Saturn and Uranus all fall in Sagittarius. Closest of the aspects is the conjunction between Mars and Pluto, about 1.5° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Jupiter was retrograde. The Moon was waning gibbous, between full and last quarter.

StarMap's dataset holds 17 other people born on 9 December, among them Kirk Douglas, Judi Dench and John Malkovich.

Hikaru Nakamura’s Sun, Moon and rising sign

Sun sign

Sagittarius

about 16° Sagittarius at midday

A Sagittarius Sun seeks. Meaning, distance and the bigger picture are likely to pull Hikaru Nakamura forward, and the honesty of this placement is a kind of generosity. Its lesson is that the journey also needs somewhere to land.

All Sagittarius Suns

Moon sign

Cancer or Leo

Cancer until about 13:40, then Leo (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.

Born before about 13:40: Moon in Cancer

The Moon is at home in Cancer. For Hikaru that points to feelings that are tidal, strong and closely tied to the people they love, and to a memory for how everything felt. This Moon is restored by home, by cooking, and by being needed.

Born after about 13:40: Moon in Leo

A Leo Moon feels with its whole heart and needs that to be noticed. Warm attention tends to fill Hikaru up, and being overlooked can empty them faster than anything. Play, creativity and loyal friends usually bring them back to themselves.

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 Hirakata, Japan, at each hour of the day.

Hikaru Nakamura’s rising sign, by birth time

StarMap has not verified a birth time for Hikaru 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 9 December 1987, computed for Hirakata, Japan.

Hikaru Nakamura’s planets, sign by sign

Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Hikaru Nakamura’s private life.

  1. Sun in Sagittarius

    16° Sagittarius 29' at midday

    purpose and vitality

    Growth, travel and ideas bigger than daily life are where Hikaru Nakamura'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.

  2. Moon in Cancer or Leo

    Cancer until about 13:40, then Leo

    needs and habits

    Born before about 13:40: Moon in Cancer

    With the Moon in Cancer, Hikaru's needs tend to be tied to home, routine and the people they check in on daily. Small rituals are steadying: a particular meal, a particular chair. The tension is reading other people's moods so closely that those moods can be taken on without noticing.

    Born after about 13:40: 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 Hikaru faster than a hard day with an audience. The mood tends to lift visibly the moment someone compliments something small Hikaru did.

  3. Mercury in Sagittarius

    8° Sagittarius 39' at midday

    mind and voice

    Hikaru's Mercury in Sagittarius thinks in big, connective leaps and communicates with enthusiasm and a wide frame of reference drawn from everywhere they have been. The weak point is generalising past what the details support. A specific question may get a sweeping theory nobody quite asked for.

  4. Venus in Capricorn

    13° Capricorn 43' at midday

    love and values

    For Hikaru, Venus in Capricorn means loving in a measured, committed way and valuing stability, ambition and someone to build a life with. The trap is treating a relationship like a project to manage rather than let unfold. With this Venus, love comes out more easily as providing and planning than as words said out loud.

  5. Mars in Scorpio

    9° Scorpio 49' at midday

    drive and anger

    In Hikaru's chart, Mars in Scorpio acts with focus and intensity, and its anger, when it surfaces, tends to be controlled, cutting and hard to forget. The risk with this Mars is holding on to a grievance well past its useful life. A calm exterior gives little warning before a sharp response.

  6. Jupiter in Aries

    19° Aries 50' at midday ℞

    growth and excess

    Jupiter in Aries grows through bold, direct action and taking the first step before feeling fully ready. Hikaru's overreach, on this reading, is starting more than can realistically be finished. A burst of confidence tends to get a new venture off the ground, whether or not the groundwork is in place.

  7. Saturn in Sagittarius

    22° Sagittarius 46' at midday

    discipline and doubt

    Saturn in Sagittarius builds discipline around belief and meaning, testing a big idea hard before committing to it. In front of people who might challenge a conviction, Hikaru is likely to hedge. Over time, someone with this Saturn often becomes a credible voice on the very questions they once felt they had no right to answer.

  8. Uranus in Sagittarius

    26° Sagittarius 16' at midday

    freedom, generational

    Uranus in Sagittarius is less about Hikaru than about the years around their birth. People of that age transform belief and access to knowledge, often through unprecedented exposure to other cultures and ideas. The personal trace is a restlessness with any single worldview presented as the only one.

  9. Neptune in Capricorn

    6° Capricorn 55' at midday

    imagination, generational

    Neptune in Capricorn is shared by Hikaru and about fourteen years of births. The imagination of the generation questions or idealises authority and ambition, often shaped by wide disillusionment with institutions. The personal version may be an uneasy relationship with conventional success.

  10. Pluto in Scorpio

    11° Scorpio 18' at midday

    power, generational

    Pluto is at home in Scorpio, and the generation born with it lives through profound upheavals in power, secrecy and shared taboos. Hikaru's own share may be an unusually deep comfort with intensity that others would find overwhelming.

Aspects in Hikaru Nakamura’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.

  1. Mars conjunction Pluto

    about 1.5° at midday

    With Mars conjunct Pluto, drive tends to be intense and relentless, and once Hikaru Nakamura 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.

  2. Venus sextile Pluto

    about 2.4° at midday

    This sextile promises intimacy without unnecessary drama, with Hikaru's affections and depth working side by side. Relationships tend to deepen at a comfortable pace, with no crisis or dramatic turning point needed to get there.

  3. Mars sextile Neptune

    about 2.9° at midday

    In Hikaru's chart, drive and imagination help each other along gently, so inspired action is possible before everything has been mapped out. The motivation is soft but workable, and it keeps a creative or compassionate project moving without forcing it.

  4. Jupiter trine Saturn

    about 2.9° at midday

    Optimism and discipline reinforce each other in this trine, which lets Hikaru 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.

  5. Sun trine Jupiter

    about 3.3° at midday

    With the Sun trine Jupiter, Hikaru's sense of self and instinct for growth support each other, which gives them a warm, expansive confidence. They are likely to be quick to see an opening and to make the most of it without forcing anything.

  6. Saturn conjunction Uranus

    about 3.5° at midday

    With discipline and the need for independence fused, Hikaru tends to build structure their own way instead of inheriting someone else's. Saturn conjunct Uranus makes them an original builder, and the challenge is letting a good structure stay flexible and not harden into another rule.

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.

  • Neptune sextile Plutoabout 4.4°
  • Venus square Jupiterabout 6.1°
  • Sun conjunction Saturnabout 6.3°
  • Jupiter trine Uranusabout 6.4°

  • Sun conjunction Mercuryabout 7.8°

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?
