John Kufuor’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief

John Kufuor was born in Kumasi, Ghana, on 8 December 1938, a Thursday. Their zodiac sign is Sagittarius. The Moon changed sign at about 11:10, from Gemini to Cancer; which of the two is the Moon sign depends on the hour of birth. John turns 88 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, four are in fire signs, two in earth, two in air and one in water. Fixed signs hold four, mutable signs three and cardinal signs two. The tightest aspect is Mercury sextile Mars, about 0.6° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Five planets were retrograde: Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Uranus and Pluto. Over the course of the day the Moon went from full to waning gibbous.

StarMap's dataset holds 20 other people born on 8 December, among them Jim Morrison, Nicki Minaj and Kim Basinger.

John Kufuor’s Sun, Moon and rising sign

Sun sign

Sagittarius

about 15° Sagittarius at midday

A Sagittarius Sun seeks. Meaning, distance and the bigger picture are likely to pull John Kufuor 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

Gemini or Cancer

Gemini until about 11:10, then Cancer (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.

Born before about 11:10: Moon in Gemini

The Moon in Gemini processes feeling by naming it. For John, talking, writing and switching perspective are likely ways to settle, and silence can make small worries loud. They probably need people who let them think out loud.

Born after about 11:10: Moon in Cancer

The Moon is at home in Cancer. For John 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.

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 Kumasi, Ghana, at each hour of the day.

John Kufuor’s rising sign, by birth time

StarMap has not verified a birth time for John 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 8 December 1938, computed for Kumasi, Ghana.

John Kufuor’s planets, sign by sign

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

  1. Sun in Sagittarius

    15° Sagittarius 44' at midday

    purpose and vitality

    Growth, travel and ideas bigger than daily life are where John Kufuor'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 Gemini or Cancer

    Gemini until about 11:10, then Cancer

    needs and habits

    Born before about 11:10: Moon in Gemini

    The Moon in Gemini runs its daily habits on conversation and mental stimulation, and John is likely to settle by talking a worry through rather than sitting with it quietly. A day with no one to talk to can leave them restless. The habit is to message a friend the moment something comes to mind, before deciding what to think about it.

    Born after about 11:10: Moon in Cancer

    With the Moon in Cancer, John'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.

  3. Mercury in Sagittarius

    28° Sagittarius 27' at midday ℞

    mind and voice

    John'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 Scorpio

    19° Scorpio 40' at midday ℞

    love and values

    Venus in Scorpio loves intensely and privately, and John is likely to value depth and total honesty over ease. Testing loyalty can create the very distance this placement fears most. There is an all-or-nothing quality to how this Venus commits, with little interest in anything in between.

  5. Mars in Libra

    27° Libra 49' at midday

    drive and anger

    In John's chart, Mars in Libra acts diplomatically and prefers negotiation to confrontation, and its anger tends to stay buried until it is too big to ignore. Avoided consistently, conflict leaves resentment building underneath the calm surface. The pattern is saying yes to something that rankled, then feeling it later.

  6. Jupiter in Aquarius

    26° Aquarius 22' at midday

    growth and excess

    Jupiter in Aquarius grows through community, ideas and causes bigger than one life. John may put so much trust in a theory or a group that its practical flaws are overlooked. Optimism about the future can make them a natural organiser of other people's efforts.

  7. Saturn in Aries

    11° Aries 15' at midday ℞

    discipline and doubt

    Saturn in Aries builds discipline around learning to act with patience instead of pure impulse. For John, 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.

  8. Uranus in Taurus

    14° Taurus 39' at midday ℞

    freedom, generational

    Uranus in Taurus is a generational placement that John shares with many people born within a few years. That generation rethinks ownership, land and what security means, often through technology that unsettles older arrangements. Personally, that may be a reluctance to prize things simply because an older generation did.

  9. Neptune in Virgo

    23° Virgo 14' at midday

    imagination, generational

    Neptune moves slowly, so John shares its place in Virgo with people born years either side. The imagination of this generation turns towards service, craft and idealised routines of self-improvement. In one life it can mean chasing an impossibly perfect daily practice.

  10. Pluto in Leo

    1° Leo 14' 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 John, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.

Aspects in John Kufuor’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. Mercury sextile Mars

    about 0.6° at midday

    Speaking up quickly and clearly when it matters comes easily to John Kufuor, since thinking and drive work in step. That plain directness serves them well in fast-moving conversations and quick decisions alike.

  2. Mars trine Jupiter

    about 1.5° at midday

    Mars trine Jupiter lets drive and a sense of possibility work as one, and in John's chart the pattern favours confident, well-timed action towards the goals that matter to them. A first move under this trine tends to open a door, largely because it is made with conviction and at a sensible moment.

  3. Mercury sextile Jupiter

    about 2.1° at midday

    John'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.

  4. Mars square Pluto

    about 3.4° at midday

    With Mars square Pluto, John'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.

  5. Venus sextile Neptune

    about 3.6° at midday

    Romance and creative warmth tend to be within easy reach for John, 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.

  6. Sun trine Saturn

    about 4.5° at midday

    Effort and identity feel like the same project under a Sun-Saturn trine, because John's sense of self and capacity for discipline reinforce each other. What they build tends to last, since ambition and patience are already in agreement.
