Ko Takamoro’s birth chart
Born 9 November 1907, in Saitama Prefecture, Japan. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Scorpio Sun · Moon in Sagittarius or Capricorn
Ko Takamoro’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
9 November 1907 was a Saturday: the day Ko Takamoro was born in Saitama Prefecture, Japan. That made Ko a Scorpio. The Moon was in Sagittarius until about 15:25 and in Capricorn afterwards, so the Moon sign turns on the birth time. Ko died on 26 March 1995, aged 87. No verified birth time is on file for Ko; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
Of the eight planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, four are in water signs, two in air, one in fire and one in earth. By modality the count is four fixed, two cardinal and two mutable. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Sun and Neptune: a trine, about 0.8° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Mercury, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto were retrograde. The Moon was a waxing crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds ten other people born on 9 November, among them Carl Sagan, Imre Kertész and Hedy Lamarr.

Ko Takamoro’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Scorpio
about 15° Scorpio at midday
A Scorpio Sun goes deep. Surface answers are unlikely to satisfy Ko Takamoro, and with this Sun, loyalty, once given, tends to be total. This placement is built for transformation: it ends chapters fully so the next one can begin.
Moon sign
Sagittarius or Capricorn
Sagittarius until about 15:25, then Capricorn (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 15:25: Moon in Sagittarius
A Sagittarius Moon feels best in motion. Open roads, new ideas and honest laughter probably lift Ko, and being fenced in by other people's moods tends to weigh them down. This Moon needs room, and someone who thinks that is fine.
Born after about 15:25: Moon in Capricorn
A Capricorn Moon feels responsibly. With it, Ko 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.
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 Saitama Prefecture, Japan, at each hour of the day.
Ko Takamoro’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Ko 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 9 November 1907, computed for Saitama Prefecture, Japan.

Ko Takamoro’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Ko Takamoro’s private life.
The Sun in Scorpio finds purpose in going past the surface of things, and Ko Takamoro's vitality tends to be fuelled by intensity rather than ease. The catch can be needing a crisis or a deep dive before they feel fully engaged. Small talk tends to bore them; a subject that interests them absorbs them completely.
Moon in Sagittarius or Capricorn
Sagittarius until about 15:25, then Capricorn
needs and habits
Born before about 15:25: Moon in Sagittarius
The Moon in Sagittarius needs room to move and a bit of novelty in its routine to feel right. A schedule with no give in it can make Ko edgy faster than most people expect. With this Moon, the next trip tends to be planned before the current one has finished.
Born after about 15:25: Moon in Capricorn
With the Moon in Capricorn, Ko'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.
With Mercury in Scorpio, Ko tends to think in layers, looking for what is not being said as much as what is spoken aloud. Once they have decided to speak they can be very direct, and until then, silent. The tension is suspecting a hidden motive where there is only an ordinary one.
Venus in Scorpio or Sagittarius
Scorpio until about 16:10, then Sagittarius
love and values
Born before about 16:10: Venus in Scorpio
Venus in Scorpio loves intensely and privately, and Ko is likely to value depth and total honesty over ease. Testing loyalty can create the very distance this placement fears most. There is an all-or-nothing quality to how this Venus commits, with little interest in anything in between.
Born after about 16:10: Venus in Sagittarius
Venus in Sagittarius loves with enthusiasm and a need for shared adventure, and Ko probably values a partner who gives them room to roam. When things get serious, this placement can confuse freedom with distance. The pattern with this Venus is to plan the next trip together before settling into the current one.
Mars in Aquarius acts on principle, and its anger surfaces most over unfairness or hypocrisy rather than personal slights. Ko can detach from a conflict so thoroughly that the other person feels shut out. The issue tends to get argued with heat while the relationship itself is treated with strange calm.
Jupiter in Leo
12° Leo 50' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Leo grows through creative confidence and a willingness to take up space. For Ko the overreach may be overselling their own contribution or expecting more credit than a situation calls for. There is a natural showmanship here that lifts a room, and occasionally a story that grows a little in the retelling.
Saturn in Pisces builds discipline around boundaries, and it usually starts from a habit of carrying feelings that belong to other people. For Ko, the doubt is likely to take the form of guilt for protecting their own time and energy. What this Saturn works towards is a quiet, mature compassion, once it is clear that a boundary and a closed heart are not the same thing.
Uranus in Capricorn
9° Capricorn 48' at midday
freedom, generational
Many people within a few years of Ko'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 Cancer
14° Cancer 45' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
Neptune in Cancer is shared by Ko and many people born in the same decade or so. The generation idealises home and family, often carrying a wider nostalgia for a version of belonging that may never quite have existed. Personally it can be a soft-focus longing for a childhood home.
Pluto in Gemini
24° Gemini 27' at midday ℞
power, generational
Ko shares Pluto in Gemini with many people born in the same long stretch of years. That generation transforms communication and collective thought, often through upheavals in how information is controlled and shared. The personal portion is an intense relationship with what counts as truth.
Aspects in Ko Takamoro’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 Neptune
about 0.8° at midday
Ko Takamoro's identity and imagination flow together easily, giving them an intuitive, artistic quality that feels natural rather than performed. With the Sun trine Neptune, compassion comes without much effort, and other people often sense it before a word has been said.
Sun square Mars
about 1.0° at midday
Impatience, or a habit of picking fights that did not need picking, can come from the clash between Ko's sense of self and their drive to act. With the Sun square Mars, a pause between the impulse and the action turns this friction into determination they can use.
Mercury conjunction Venus
about 2.4° at midday
Mercury conjunct Venus ties Ko's thinking closely to what they love, so they probably talk about affection and beauty with ease. It lends a diplomatic, pleasant way of putting things, especially when the subject is close to the heart.
Sun square Jupiter
about 2.7° at midday
Ambition can outpace what time and energy will realistically support, and with this aspect Ko may promise more than can be delivered and then walk it back. The lesson of a Sun-Jupiter square is scaling a good instinct to a size that holds.
Saturn square Pluto
about 3.6° at midday
Saturn square Pluto sets the need for control against the instinct for transformation, and Ko may grip a structure most tightly at the very moment it needs to change. Each old form that is let go leaves a strength behind that is more real than the grip was.
Mars opposition Jupiter
about 3.7° at midday
Mars opposite Jupiter pits Ko's own direct action against other people's grander plans or expectations, which can end in overcommitting to someone else's vision. Ko's own sense of scale is usually a better guide than anyone else's.
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.
