Joe Hisaishi’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
6 December 1950 was a Wednesday: the day Joe Hisaishi was born in Nakano, Japan. Their zodiac sign is Sagittarius. The Moon changed sign at about 16:20, from Libra to Scorpio; which of the two is the Moon sign depends on the hour of birth. Joe turns 76 in 2026. StarMap has no verified birth time for Joe, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
Fire carries the most weight: three of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, against earth two, air two and water two. Cardinal signs hold five, mutable signs three and fixed signs one. Closest of the aspects is the sextile between Venus and Neptune, about 0.1° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Two planets were retrograde: Uranus and Pluto. The Moon was a waning crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 11 other people born on 6 December, among them Peter Handke, Tim Cahill and Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Joe Hisaishi’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Sagittarius
about 13° Sagittarius at midday
A Sagittarius Sun seeks. Meaning, distance and the bigger picture are likely to pull Joe Hisaishi forward, and the honesty of this placement is a kind of generosity. Its lesson is that the journey also needs somewhere to land.
Moon sign
Libra or Scorpio
Libra until about 16:20, then Scorpio (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 16:20: Moon in Libra
A Libra Moon feels through relationship. Harmony nearby tends to settle Joe, and conflict, even other people's, can unsettle them. What restores this Moon is beauty, fairness, and one person who truly listens.
Born after about 16:20: Moon in Scorpio
The Moon in Scorpio feels everything and shows little. For Joe that suggests trust that is slow, private and absolute; betrayal, once it happens, is not forgotten. This Moon is restored by intimacy without performance and by time alone to let things move.
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 Nakano, Japan, at each hour of the day.
Joe Hisaishi’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Joe 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 6 December 1950, computed for Nakano, Japan.

Joe Hisaishi’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Joe Hisaishi’s private life.
Growth, travel and ideas bigger than daily life are where Joe Hisaishi'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.

Libra until about 16:20, then Scorpio
needs and habits
Born before about 16:20: Moon in Libra
A Libra Moon needs harmony in the immediate surroundings to feel settled day to day, and a tense conversation nearby can throw off Joe'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.
Born after about 16:20: Moon in Scorpio
For Joe, the Moon in Scorpio means emotional needs that run deep and private, and a preference for managing a hard feeling alone over explaining it while it is still raw. Trust builds slowly and is rarely given back once broken. Even among the people closest to them, this Moon is likely to need real privacy.
Mercury in Capricorn thinks methodically, and Joe tends to communicate in a measured, practical way that people trust. The focus on a useful conclusion can be so strong that ideas which have not yet proven their worth are dismissed. Joe will often get straight to the point in a conversation other people expected to be casual.
Venus in Sagittarius loves with enthusiasm and a need for shared adventure, and Joe probably values a partner who gives them room to roam. When things get serious, this placement can confuse freedom with distance. The pattern with this Venus is to plan the next trip together before settling into the current one.
Mars in Capricorn acts with discipline and patience, playing a longer game than most, and in Joe's case its anger tends to be controlled, arriving as coldness rather than heat. The tendency is to go quiet and distant instead of saying what is wrong. A frustration is something to outwork rather than voice.
Jupiter in Pisces
0° Pisces 32' at midday
growth and excess
For Joe, Jupiter in Pisces means finding growth in compassion, imagination and a willingness to trust things that cannot be fully explained. The overreach is an idealism about people or situations that the facts do not quite support. Others lean on this generosity of spirit more than they let on.
For Joe, Saturn in Libra means discipline built around relationships, and fairness and commitment are trusted slowly. The doubt is overthinking whether a partnership is truly equal. With time, people with this Saturn tend to become the ones others rely on to negotiate and to keep things fair.
Uranus in Cancer
8° Cancer 25' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Uranus in Cancer belongs to an age group rather than to Joe alone. Its mark is a generation that redefines home and family, departing from the structures the previous generation grew up inside. At the personal level it is read as a pull to build family life differently.
Neptune in Libra
18° Libra 56' at midday
imagination, generational
A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, Joe among them. It idealises romantic partnership, often shaped by images of love on screen that outpace real relationships. The personal echo is a dreamy standard for what a relationship should feel like.
Pluto in Leo
19° Leo 48' at midday ℞
power, generational
Pluto in Leo is held by a whole generation, one that transforms ideas of individual power, leadership and fame. At a personal scale, for Joe, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in Joe Hisaishi’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 sextile Neptune
about 0.1° at midday
Romance and creative warmth tend to be within easy reach for Joe Hisaishi, thanks to a gentle working link between affection and imagination. The tenderness is soft and pleasant, not an intense longing, and it is the sort that makes ordinary moments with someone feel a little more meaningful.
Mercury square Saturn
about 0.3° at midday
Self-doubt can get into thinking when Mercury is square Saturn, in the form of over-editing or delaying a decision that was ready. Sharing the unfinished thought anyway, again and again, is what loosens the doubt's hold over what Joe is willing to say out loud.
Mercury sextile Jupiter
about 0.9° at midday
Joe's thinking and optimism keep easy company, which gives their conversation a natural, engaging breadth. Curiosity does much of the work with this aspect, opening doors in conversation that a narrower focus would have missed.
Venus trine Pluto
about 1.0° at midday
With Venus trine Pluto, affection and the capacity for change tend to strengthen each other in Joe's chart, the kind of pairing that gives relationships staying power through hard times. Depth can arrive here without constant upheaval, and that is rarer, and more durable, than the intensity some people mistake for closeness.
Mars square Neptune
about 3.9° at midday
Under this square, drive can dissolve into confusion or self-doubt just when clarity matters most, especially around goals that involve other people's expectations. It helps Joe to separate the plan itself from the feeling of overwhelm that surrounds it.
Sun conjunction Venus
about 5.4° at midday
Who Joe is and what they love are likely to be closely bound, so their identity has relationships and beauty at its centre rather than at its edge. People with the Sun conjunct Venus tend to give affection openly, and their sense of self can rise and fall a little with how appreciated they feel.
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?
