Kim Soo-hyun’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
16 February 1988 was a Tuesday: the day Kim Soo-hyun was born in Seoul, South Korea. The Sun was in Aquarius, so Aquarius is their zodiac sign. The Moon changed sign at about 04:25, from Capricorn to Aquarius; which of the two is the Moon sign depends on the hour of birth. They turn 38 in 2026. No verified birth time is on file for them; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
By element the count is three fire, three earth, two air and one water, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is five, three and one. Three planets stand together in Capricorn: Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. They are slow planets, so the grouping is shared with people born around the same time. Closest of the aspects is the trine between Mars and Jupiter, 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: Mercury and Pluto. The Moon was a waning crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 17 other people born on 16 February, among them Kim Jong Il, Elizabeth Olsen and Diego Godín.

Kim Soo-hyun’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Aquarius
about 26° Aquarius at midday
An Aquarius Sun sees differently. Ideas ahead of their time, a wide circle of friends and a stubborn streak of independence are the marks of this placement in Kim Soo-hyun's chart. The growth is letting people close without feeling caged.
Moon sign
Capricorn or Aquarius
Capricorn until about 04:25, then Aquarius (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 04:25: Moon in Capricorn
A Capricorn Moon feels responsibly. With it, Kim Soo-hyun may hold themselves together for other people, and can be hard on themselves when they cannot. This Moon tends to be restored by accomplishment, by structure, and by the rare person allowed to see them tired.
Born after about 04:25: Moon in Aquarius
An Aquarius Moon feels from a step back. Kim Soo-hyun is likely to understand an emotion better than they inhabit it, and to need space and ideas to process. For this Moon, friends are family and freedom is security.
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 Seoul, South Korea, at each hour of the day.
Kim Soo-hyun’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Kim Soo-hyun 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 16 February 1988, computed for Seoul, South Korea.

Kim Soo-hyun’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Kim Soo-hyun’s private life.
Kim Soo-hyun's purpose, with the Sun in Aquarius, probably lies in being useful to a group or an idea bigger than themselves, with a vitality that rises around causes and communities. The tension can be detaching from their own needs while championing everyone else's. It is the placement of the reliable one at meetings who is the hardest person to reach one to one.

Capricorn until about 04:25, then Aquarius
needs and habits
Born before about 04:25: Moon in Capricorn
With the Moon in Capricorn, Kim Soo-hyun's comfort probably comes from accomplishing something concrete each day, and an unproductive day can leave them oddly unsettled even on holiday. Harder feelings tend to be kept for when they are alone. Before rest is allowed there is usually one more thing to tidy, organise or finish.
Born after about 04:25: Moon in Aquarius
An Aquarius Moon processes daily feelings by stepping back and thinking them through rather than sitting inside them, and Kim Soo-hyun is likely to need a degree of independence built into any close relationship. The temptation is to analyse a feeling instead of simply having it. Even after a good day with people, this Moon needs time alone to recover.
In Kim Soo-hyun's chart, Mercury in Aquarius describes thinking that is original and a step removed from convention, and communication that works best through ideas rather than small talk. The stubborn streak is holding a position out of principle after the evidence has moved on. In a group, this is the person who asks the question nobody else thought to ask.
Venus in Aries loves with immediacy and pursues what it wants without much hesitation, and it values a partner who can keep up. For Kim Soo-hyun that suggests an interest that can fade once the chase is over. The pattern is to fall fast and to need a relationship to keep feeling like a choice, not a routine.
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. Kim Soo-hyun 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.
Jupiter in Aries
25° Aries 50' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Aries grows through bold, direct action and taking the first step before feeling fully ready. Kim Soo-hyun's overreach, on this reading, is starting more than can realistically be finished. A burst of confidence tends to get a new venture off the ground, whether or not the groundwork is in place.
Saturn is at home in Capricorn, a placement that builds discipline as naturally as breathing and often takes on responsibility earlier than most. The doubt, for Kim Soo-hyun, may be never quite believing that enough has been achieved to relax. Others tend to recognise this kind of authority well before it is claimed.
Uranus in Capricorn
0° Capricorn 02' at midday
freedom, generational
Many people within a few years of Kim Soo-hyun's age share Uranus in Capricorn, the mark of a generation that dismantles and rebuilds old institutions and structures of authority. Personally, that can mean scepticism towards any system that asks for trust without having shown why it deserves it.
Neptune in Capricorn
9° Capricorn 22' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Capricorn is shared by Kim Soo-hyun and about fourteen years of births. The imagination of the generation questions or idealises authority and ambition, often shaped by wide disillusionment with institutions. The personal version may be an uneasy relationship with conventional success.
Pluto in Scorpio
12° Scorpio 35' at midday ℞
power, generational
Pluto is at home in Scorpio, and the generation born with it lives through profound upheavals in power, secrecy and shared taboos. Kim Soo-hyun's own share may be an unusually deep comfort with intensity that others would find overwhelming.
Aspects in Kim Soo-hyun’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.
Mars trine Jupiter
about 0.1° at midday
Mars trine Jupiter lets drive and a sense of possibility work as one, and in Kim Soo-hyun'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.
Saturn conjunction Uranus
about 0.1° at midday
With discipline and the need for independence fused, Kim Soo-hyun tends to build structure their own way instead of inheriting someone else's. Saturn conjunct Uranus makes them an original builder, and the challenge is letting a good structure stay flexible and not harden into another rule.
Sun sextile Jupiter
about 0.8° at midday
Optimism is part of who Kim Soo-hyun is, and it tends to show them open doors, provided they are willing to walk through. With some deliberate effort behind it, the outlook of a Sun-Jupiter sextile becomes momentum that carries past the first burst of enthusiasm.
Sun sextile Mars
about 0.9° at midday
Kim Soo-hyun's identity and energy work together, giving them an easy confidence that is there when they decide to use it. With this aspect, taking the initiative comes more naturally than might be expected, especially when the stakes are theirs to own.
Venus square Neptune
about 1.6° at midday
Under Venus square Neptune, affection can blur into an idealised picture of love, and disappointment follows when a real person or relationship falls short of the dream. Kim Soo-hyun's task is to love what is there, which tends to prove more durable than loving the fantasy.
Sun sextile Uranus
about 3.4° at midday
There is room for Kim Soo-hyun to be a little unconventional without losing much by it, since identity and originality get along well here. Other people tend to find this easy, unforced independence refreshing rather than alarming.
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.
