Born 25 May 1972, in Mumbai, India. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Gemini Sun · Moon in Libra or Scorpio
Karan Johar’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
25 May 1972 was a Thursday: the day Karan Johar was born in Mumbai, India. Their zodiac sign is Gemini. The Moon left Libra for Scorpio at about 07:30 local time, which leaves the Moon sign open without a birth time. Karan turns 54 in 2026. StarMap has no verified birth time for Karan, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
Of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, three are in earth signs, three in air, two in water and one in fire. Cardinal signs hold four, mutable signs four and fixed signs one. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Sun and Neptune: an opposition, about 0.3° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto were retrograde. The Moon was waxing gibbous, between first quarter and full.
StarMap's dataset holds 16 other people born on 25 May, among them Ian McKellen, Cillian Murphy and Mike Myers.

Karan Johar’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Gemini
about 4° Gemini at midday
A Gemini Sun connects. Ideas, people and conversations are its element, and Karan Johar probably learns by talking things through. This placement is happiest with two projects and a question nobody has answered yet.
Moon sign
Libra or Scorpio
Libra until about 07:30, then Scorpio (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 07:30: Moon in Libra
A Libra Moon feels through relationship. Harmony nearby tends to settle Karan, 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 07:30: Moon in Scorpio
The Moon in Scorpio feels everything and shows little. For Karan 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 Mumbai, India, at each hour of the day.
Karan Johar’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Karan 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 25 May 1972, computed for Mumbai, India.

Karan Johar’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Karan Johar’s private life.
For Karan Johar, the Sun in Gemini means vitality that comes from variety, and purpose that feels most real when they are learning or explaining something new. What suffers is focus, with energy scattered across too many half-finished things at once. Several projects and three hobbies on the go at the same time would be in character.
Moon in Libra or Scorpio
Libra until about 07:30, then Scorpio
needs and habits
Born before about 07:30: 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 Karan'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 07:30: Moon in Scorpio
For Karan, 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.
With Mercury in Taurus, Karan is likely to think slowly and thoroughly, and a conclusion once reached is rarely revisited without good reason. The communication style is plain and practical rather than showy. A new idea that clashes with what they already believe may have to wait a while for a hearing.
Venus in Cancer loves by nurturing, and for Karan that suggests valuing emotional safety over almost anything else in a relationship. Old hurts tend to linger here long after the person who caused them has changed. This is a Venus that feeds people, checks on people and quietly keeps score of who has shown up in return.
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 Karan, 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 Capricorn
6° Capricorn 56' at midday ℞
growth and excess
Jupiter in Capricorn grows through long-term discipline, and Karan would probably rather build slowly and properly than quickly. The overreach is taking on more responsibility than any one person should reasonably carry. The authority this Jupiter brings is slow and hard-won, the kind people tend to trust more the longer they know someone.
Saturn in Gemini builds discipline around clear expression, and it often begins with doubt about whether an idea is good enough to say out loud. For Karan that would mean overpreparing before speaking or writing anything. Once the self-consciousness eases, the result can be someone unusually precise and credible with words.
Uranus in Libra
14° Libra 30' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Karan 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 Sagittarius
3° Sagittarius 52' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
Neptune in Sagittarius is the dream of a generation: grand systems of belief and utopian journeys. What belongs to Karan in it may be a hopeful conviction that the right philosophy will resolve a practical problem.
Pluto in Virgo
29° Virgo 22' at midday ℞
power, generational
Pluto in Virgo is shared by Karan 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 Karan Johar’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.
Sun opposition Neptune
about 0.3° at midday
For Karan Johar, a clear, grounded sense of self sits on one side, and on the other a habit of idealising people or situations past what they can deliver. With this aspect, holding compassion and clear sight together resolves more than choosing one over the other.
Mars opposition Jupiter
about 1.2° at midday
Mars opposite Jupiter pits Karan's own direct action against other people's grander plans or expectations, which can end in overcommitting to someone else's vision. Karan's own sense of scale is usually a better guide than anyone else's.
Venus opposition Jupiter
about 2.3° at midday
With Venus opposite Jupiter, Karan's own taste can pull against other people's grander expectations of romance or generosity, and the temptation is to overextend to meet them. Trusting a private sense of what is enough works better than matching someone else's scale.
Venus conjunction Mars
about 3.5° at midday
With Venus conjunct Mars, affection and drive are closely linked, so, for Karan, wanting something and going after it are likely to feel like one impulse. The aspect brings plenty of romantic and creative energy; its test is letting the wanting outlast the first chase.
Sun trine Pluto
about 4.8° at midday
Karan's sense of self and capacity for change support each other, so they are likely to meet hard periods with resilience and come out of them still themselves. A Sun-Pluto trine is deep strength, and it does not need to be loud.
Sun conjunction Saturn
about 5.0° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Saturn, identity is built through discipline and steady effort, often with an early sense that a place has to be worked for rather than assumed. It tends to make Karan reliable and serious, and the growth comes from believing that they have done enough to rest.

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?
