Ken Noritake’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief

18 July 1922 was a Tuesday: the day Ken Noritake was born in Japan. That made Ken a Cancer. The Moon changed sign at about 02:30, from Aries to Taurus; which of the two is the Moon sign depends on the hour of birth. Ken died on 6 March 1994, aged 71. StarMap has no verified birth time for Ken, 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, four are in water signs, two in fire, two in air and one in earth. Cardinal signs hold five, mutable signs three and fixed signs one. Three planets stand together in Cancer: Sun, Mercury and Pluto. Closest of the aspects is the sextile between Mars and Jupiter, about 0.3° 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: Uranus. Over the course of the day the Moon went from last quarter to waning crescent.

StarMap's dataset holds 17 other people born on 18 July, among them Nelson Mandela, Priyanka Chopra and Vin Diesel.

Ken Noritake’s Sun, Moon and rising sign

Sun sign

Cancer

about 24° Cancer at midday

A Cancer Sun protects. For Ken Noritake, home, memory and the people they have decided are theirs tend to sit at the centre of things, and they probably read a room before anyone speaks. Care is the strength of this Sun, and their task is to include themselves in it.

All Cancer Suns

Moon sign

Aries or Taurus

Aries until about 02:30, then Taurus (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.

Born before about 02:30: Moon in Aries

With the Moon in Aries, Ken is likely to feel fast and forgive fast. Anger comes up quickly and passes just as quickly, and feeling needs a physical outlet. This is a Moon soothed by action, not by talking it over.

Born after about 02:30: Moon in Taurus

A Taurus Moon feels through the body and its surroundings. On this reading, good food, familiar places and slow evenings are what restore Ken, and sudden change lands hard. Once they feel safe, they can be the steadiest person in the room.

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 Japan at each hour of the day.

Ken Noritake’s rising sign, by birth time

StarMap has not verified a birth time for Ken 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 18 July 1922, computed for Japan.

Ken Noritake’s planets, sign by sign

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

  1. Sun in Cancer

    24° Cancer 41' at midday

    purpose and vitality

    With the Sun in Cancer, Ken Noritake is likely to feel most alive when caring for people and places that matter to them, and purpose is tied to belonging somewhere. Feeling unneeded is the sore spot for this placement, and it can be taken personally. The whole day may go better after checking in on someone they love.

  2. Moon in Aries or Taurus

    Aries until about 02:30, then Taurus

    needs and habits

    Born before about 02:30: Moon in Aries

    The Moon in Aries keeps day-to-day needs simple: something to do right now, and permission to feel it and move on. For Ken, comfort probably comes from action rather than discussion. The instinct of this Moon is to pace the room or go for a walk rather than sit with a feeling until it passes on its own.

    Born after about 02:30: Moon in Taurus

    A Taurus Moon needs routine, familiar food and physical comfort to feel steady from day to day. A sudden change of schedule probably unsettles Ken more than they let on. A good bed, a favourite mug or the same coffee order can turn an unsteady morning around.

  3. Mercury in Cancer

    5° Cancer 30' at midday

    mind and voice

    Mercury in Cancer thinks in terms of memory and feeling as much as logic, and Ken probably communicates best when there is emotional trust in the room. Mood can colour how a fact gets delivered or received. Years after the details have faded, this is a mind that remembers exactly how a conversation felt.

  4. Venus in Virgo

    3° Virgo 27' at midday

    love and values

    With Venus in Virgo, Ken is likely to love through small, practical acts of service and to value competence and reliability in a partner. People with this Venus tend to be hardest on those they love most, and can mistake giving notes for giving care. They may try to fix a partner's problem before simply listening to it.

  5. Mars in Sagittarius

    11° Sagittarius 06' at midday

    drive and anger

    Mars in Sagittarius acts boldly and wants room to move while doing it, and its anger flares fast over anything that feels like a limit on freedom. Ken may speak bluntly in the heat of the moment and smooth it over later. Given the choice, this placement walks away from a fight rather than staying to work it out.

  6. Jupiter in Libra

    11° Libra 26' at midday

    growth and excess

    In Ken's chart, Jupiter in Libra suggests growth through partnership and a gift for bringing people together. Excess here looks like pleasing people so broadly that every expectation becomes a commitment. Someone with this Jupiter is often the connector whose introductions and events other people benefit from more than they realise.

  7. Saturn in Libra

    2° Libra 25' at midday

    discipline and doubt

    For Ken, 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.

  8. Uranus in Pisces

    13° Pisces 15' at midday ℞

    freedom, generational

    Ken has Uranus in Pisces in common with a generation. That generation transforms spirituality, art and collective imagination, often blurring boundaries that earlier ones kept firm. In one person it may be noticed as an openness to ideas that resist neat categories.

  9. Neptune in Leo

    14° Leo 54' at midday

    imagination, generational

    Neptune in Leo is the imagination of an age group, not of Ken alone. It dreams in terms of fame, spectacle and larger-than-life self-expression. The trace of it in one person is a pull towards performance as a way of feeling real.

  10. Pluto in Cancer

    9° Cancer 57' at midday

    power, generational

    Pluto in Cancer dates Ken to an era rather than describing one person. Those born in it live through deep transformation of family, home and nationhood. What an individual may carry is intensity around belonging and who counts as family.

Aspects in Ken Noritake’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 sextile Jupiter

    about 0.3° at midday

    There is confident, well-aimed energy in this sextile, and not much wasted effort, since Ken Noritake's drive and optimism pull together. Taking the initiative suits Ken, above all when they commit to one goal and do not scatter their energy across several.

  2. Jupiter square Pluto

    about 1.5° at midday

    Ambition can turn into a struggle for control under this square, over outcomes that were never fully Ken's to control. The considerable drive involved is better aimed at transformation than at domination, which tends to produce a result that lasts.

  3. Mercury sextile Venus

    about 2.0° at midday

    Thinking and affection are easy companions in Ken's chart, which gives them a natural charm in how they communicate. With Mercury sextile Venus, expressing appreciation and finding the right words go together, especially in moments when they want someone to feel noticed.

  4. Mars square Uranus

    about 2.2° at midday

    This square can make drive turn abrupt, leading to sudden decisions or breaks that surprise Ken as much as they surprise everyone nearby. A brief pause before the impulsive move keeps the courage and loses the recklessness.

  5. Mercury square Saturn

    about 3.1° 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 Ken is willing to say out loud.

  6. Jupiter sextile Neptune

    about 3.5° at midday

    Inspired ideas are within Ken's reach without any loss of footing, since possibility and imagination are gently linked by this sextile. The optimism is soft and workable, useful for keeping a project hopeful without letting it drift far from what is real.

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.

  • Mars trine Neptuneabout 3.8°
  • Mercury conjunction Plutoabout 4.5°
