Kenichi Shimokawa’s birth chart
Born 14 May 1970, in Gifu, Japan. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Taurus Sun · Moon in Leo or Virgo
Kenichi Shimokawa’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Kenichi Shimokawa was born on Thursday, 14 May 1970, in Gifu, Japan. That makes Kenichi a Taurus. The Moon was in Leo until about 11:10 and in Virgo afterwards, so the Moon sign turns on the birth time. Kenichi turns 56 in 2026. No verified birth time is on file for Kenichi; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
By element the count is four earth, four air, one water and no fire, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. By modality the count is four fixed, three mutable and two cardinal. Three planets stand together in Taurus: Sun, Mercury and Saturn. Closest of the aspects is the trine between Sun and Pluto, about 1.9° 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, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Over the course of the day the Moon went from first quarter to waxing gibbous.
StarMap's dataset holds 22 other people born on 14 May, among them Mark Zuckerberg, George Lucas and Cate Blanchett.

Kenichi Shimokawa’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Taurus
about 22° Taurus at midday
A Taurus Sun builds. Comfort, steadiness and things that last probably matter more to Kenichi Shimokawa than novelty, and people tend to trust someone who does not change their mind for show. The growth edge is letting go before something stops working.
Moon sign
Leo or Virgo
Leo until about 11:10, then Virgo (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 11:10: Moon in Leo
A Leo Moon feels with its whole heart and needs that to be noticed. Warm attention tends to fill Kenichi up, and being overlooked can empty them faster than anything. Play, creativity and loyal friends usually bring them back to themselves.
Born after about 11:10: Moon in Virgo
A Virgo Moon feels by fixing. When something is wrong, Kenichi is likely to look for the practical cause and to calm down by tidying, planning or being useful. The lesson of this Moon is to accept help without a to-do list attached.
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 Gifu, Japan, at each hour of the day.
Kenichi Shimokawa’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Kenichi 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 14 May 1970, computed for Gifu, Japan.

Kenichi Shimokawa’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Kenichi Shimokawa’s private life.
A Taurus Sun finds purpose in building something that lasts, and Kenichi Shimokawa's vitality probably runs slow and steady rather than in bursts. The drawback is a reluctance to change course even when the plan is clearly not working. People with this Sun can stay in one job or one home long after part of them knows it is time to move.
Moon in Leo or Virgo
Leo until about 11:10, then Virgo
needs and habits
Born before about 11:10: 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 Kenichi faster than a hard day with an audience. The mood tends to lift visibly the moment someone compliments something small Kenichi did.
Born after about 11:10: Moon in Virgo
The Moon in Virgo runs towards order, and a messy space or an unfinished list can unsettle Kenichi's mood more than most people would guess. Small, useful tasks are calming. The trouble can start when Kenichi's own needs become another chore to get right instead of something to enjoy.
With Mercury in Taurus, Kenichi 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 Gemini loves through conversation, wit and mental connection, and tends to find a dull partner harder to stay with than a challenging one. Kenichi probably values variety and being kept interested. Attention may wander with this Venus, and that can be treated as more serious than it is. Banter is the natural way to flirt here, more than anything more direct.
With Mars in Gemini, Kenichi is likely to act through words, argument and quick manoeuvring rather than force, and anger to come out sharp and verbal. Arguments can be won without the conflict underneath ever being resolved. A disagreement can still be under debate long after the other person just wants it to end.
Jupiter in Libra
28° Libra 22' at midday ℞
growth and excess
In Kenichi'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.
Saturn in Taurus gathers its discipline around security and the things a person relies on, and Kenichi is likely to take very little for granted. The doubt is a fear that stability could disappear, even when it clearly has not. This placement likes to know what things cost before committing, and tends to stay careful even in steady times.
Uranus in Libra
5° Libra 01' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Kenichi 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 Scorpio
29° Scorpio 42' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
Neptune in Scorpio marks a long season that Kenichi shares with many people of a similar age. Its imagination is drawn to the hidden, the taboo and the transformative, with a wider cultural fascination for secrets and endings. In an individual that can be a pull towards mystery for its own sake.
Pluto in Virgo
24° Virgo 48' at midday ℞
power, generational
Pluto in Virgo is shared by Kenichi 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 Kenichi Shimokawa’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 trine Pluto
about 1.9° at midday
Kenichi Shimokawa'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.
Mercury conjunction Saturn
about 2.0° at midday
With Mercury conjunct Saturn, Kenichi's thinking is likely to be careful and structured, and they tend to say only what they are sure of. That makes their word worth taking, and the risk is that caution keeps an idea back until it feels perfectly finished.
Venus conjunction Mars
about 2.6° at midday
With Venus conjunct Mars, affection and drive are closely linked, so, for Kenichi, 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.
Venus square Pluto
about 5.0° at midday
Where Venus squares Pluto, the desire for closeness can get tangled with control, and the aspect is associated with jealousy, possessiveness or testing a partner's loyalty. Whenever Kenichi chooses trust over control, that intensity becomes a strength instead of a strain.
Sun opposition Neptune
about 6.8° at midday
For Kenichi, 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.
Sun conjunction Mercury
about 7.4° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Mercury, Kenichi's sense of self and way of thinking are fused, so an opinion can feel like a statement of who they are. They are likely to speak their mind readily, and telling a passing thought apart from their identity is a practice worth keeping up.
One more aspect, listed without a reading. It is between two of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, whose aspects hold for years at a time, so everyone born while it holds shares it.
