Kishore Kumar’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Kishore Kumar was born in Khandwa, India, on 4 August 1929, a Sunday. That made Kishore a Leo. The Moon left Cancer for Leo at about 13:40 local time, which leaves the Moon sign open without a birth time. Kishore died on 13 October 1987, aged 58. No verified birth time is on file for Kishore; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
Fire carries the most weight: four of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, against earth two, air two and water one. By modality the count is five mutable, two cardinal and two fixed. The tightest aspect is Sun trine Uranus, 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: Saturn and Uranus. Over the course of the day the Moon went from waning crescent to new.
StarMap's dataset holds 14 other people born on 4 August, among them Louis Armstrong, Pumpuang Duangjan and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. Wikidata links Kishore with one person in the dataset: Madhubala (married in 1960, marriage ended in 1969).

Kishore Kumar’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Leo
about 11° Leo at midday
A Leo Sun shines. For Kishore Kumar that suggests warmth, generosity and a need to be seen for who they really are, running through much of what they do. This placement grows by learning that the light is not diminished when it is shared.
Moon sign
Cancer or Leo
Cancer until about 13:40, then Leo (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 13:40: Moon in Cancer
The Moon is at home in Cancer. For Kishore 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.
Born after about 13:40: Moon in Leo
A Leo Moon feels with its whole heart and needs that to be noticed. Warm attention tends to fill Kishore up, and being overlooked can empty them faster than anything. Play, creativity and loyal friends usually bring them back to themselves.
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 Khandwa, India, at each hour of the day.
Kishore Kumar’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Kishore 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 4 August 1929, computed for Khandwa, India.

Kishore Kumar’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Kishore Kumar’s private life.
Purpose for Kishore Kumar is probably tied to creating and being seen doing it, and a Leo Sun's vitality rises the moment there is an audience, even an audience of one. The tension is losing steam when no one is watching. The giveaway is often the extra effort that goes into something the moment someone notices them making it.
Moon in Cancer or Leo
Cancer until about 13:40, then Leo
needs and habits
Born before about 13:40: Moon in Cancer
With the Moon in Cancer, Kishore'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.
Born after about 13:40: 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 Kishore faster than a hard day with an audience. The mood tends to lift visibly the moment someone compliments something small Kishore did.
Mercury in Leo gives Kishore a mind that thinks in confident, story-shaped terms and communicates with warmth and a bit of flair, drawing people in even when the subject is dry. Attachment to being right can make Kishore more persuasive than accurate. A simple update, in their hands, can become something closer to a performance.
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. Kishore 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.
Mars in Virgo acts carefully and precisely, preferring to get a task right over getting it done fast, and its anger usually comes from things being done sloppily. When upset, Kishore is more likely to criticise than to confront. A clipped tone often signals frustration well before anything is said directly.
Jupiter in Gemini
10° Gemini 41' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Gemini grows through learning and exposure to as many ideas as can be gathered, and its optimism is contagious in conversation. Kishore may overreach by knowing a little about everything and claiming more certainty than the depth supports. This is someone who can be the best-read person in the room on subjects they have never studied closely.
Saturn in Sagittarius builds discipline around belief and meaning, testing a big idea hard before committing to it. In front of people who might challenge a conviction, Kishore is likely to hedge. Over time, someone with this Saturn often becomes a credible voice on the very questions they once felt they had no right to answer.
Uranus in Aries
11° Aries 15' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Uranus spends about seven years in each sign, so Kishore shares Uranus in Aries with many people of a similar age. It marks a generation that pushes for change through direct, individual action rather than waiting for permission. In one life it can appear as impatience with the slow-moving institutions older generations built.
Neptune in Virgo
0° Virgo 22' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune moves slowly, so Kishore 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.
Pluto in Cancer
18° Cancer 32' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Cancer dates Kishore 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 Kishore Kumar’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 Uranus
about 0.1° at midday
Being original feels easy rather than effortful with this aspect, because Kishore Kumar's sense of self and need for freedom sit comfortably together. They are likely to gravitate towards places that let them be exactly who they are without much friction.
Mars sextile Pluto
about 0.3° at midday
This sextile joins drive to depth, so resilience and follow-through are likely to be available to Kishore without constant conflict. Kishore is likely to handle pressure better than most, and at a lower cost than expected, largely because a fight is rarely needed to prove the point.
Jupiter sextile Uranus
about 0.6° at midday
This sextile puts possibility and originality on easy terms, so Kishore can take up a fresh opportunity without much disruption. Think of it as innovation at low cost, the kind that improves something without first tearing it down.
Sun sextile Jupiter
about 0.7° at midday
Optimism is part of who Kishore 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.
Venus sextile Neptune
about 1.4° at midday
Romance and creative warmth tend to be within easy reach for Kishore, 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.
Sun conjunction Mercury
about 4.5° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Mercury, Kishore'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.
