Koji Funamoto’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
12 August 1942 was a Wednesday: the day Koji Funamoto was born in Hiroshima, Japan. That makes Koji a Leo, with the Moon in Leo. Koji turns 84 in 2026. StarMap has no verified birth time for Koji, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
By element the count is four fire, two earth, two air and two water. Fixed signs hold four, mutable signs four and cardinal signs two. Four planets stand together in Leo: Sun, Moon, Mercury and Pluto. The tightest aspect is Uranus sextile Pluto, about 1.5° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Every planet was moving direct. The Moon was new.
StarMap's dataset holds 20 other people born on 12 August, among them George Soros, Mario Balotelli and Pete Sampras.

Koji Funamoto’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Leo
about 18° Leo at midday
A Leo Sun shines. For Koji Funamoto 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
Leo
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
A Leo Moon feels with its whole heart and needs that to be noticed. Warm attention tends to fill Koji 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 Hiroshima, Japan, at each hour of the day.

Koji Funamoto’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Koji Funamoto’s private life.
Purpose for Koji Funamoto 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.
A Leo Moon needs warmth and acknowledgement worked into everyday life, not just on big occasions. A day with no one noticing can drain Koji faster than a hard day with an audience. The mood tends to lift visibly the moment someone compliments something small Koji did.
Mercury in Leo gives Koji 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 Koji more persuasive than accurate. A simple update, in their hands, can become something closer to a performance.
Venus in Cancer loves by nurturing, and for Koji that suggests valuing emotional safety over almost anything else in a relationship. Old hurts tend to linger here long after the person who caused them has changed. This is a Venus that feeds people, checks on people and quietly keeps score of who has shown up in return.
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, Koji is more likely to criticise than to confront. A clipped tone often signals frustration well before anything is said directly.
Jupiter in Cancer
13° Cancer 55' at midday
growth and excess
For Koji, Jupiter in Cancer means growing by nurturing others and building a home that people want to return to. The excess can be protecting loved ones past the point they need it. Generosity here takes the form of home-cooked meals, open doors and an instinct to take in anyone who needs somewhere to land.
Saturn in Gemini builds discipline around clear expression, and it often begins with doubt about whether an idea is good enough to say out loud. For Koji that would mean overpreparing before speaking or writing anything. Once the self-consciousness eases, the result can be someone unusually precise and credible with words.
Uranus in Gemini
4° Gemini 13' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus in Gemini is shared by Koji and many people born in the same few years. These are people who come of age alongside a revolution in communication, fluent in tools older generations learned later in life. The personal version is a restless need for new information.
Neptune in Virgo
28° Virgo 08' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune moves slowly, so Koji 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 Leo
5° Leo 45' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Leo is held by a whole generation, one that transforms ideas of individual power, leadership and fame. At a personal scale, for Koji, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in Koji Funamoto’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 square Uranus
about 2.6° at midday
This square can make drive turn abrupt, leading to sudden decisions or breaks that surprise Koji Funamoto as much as they surprise everyone nearby. A brief pause before the impulsive move keeps the courage and loses the recklessness.
Mars square Saturn
about 4.0° at midday
Koji's drive can meet resistance, from outside obstacles or from private doubt, and frustration builds when progress feels blocked. Under this square, every stretch of steady work done anyway turns that resistance into competence, the kind that is there when it is needed most.
Venus sextile Neptune
about 4.2° at midday
Romance and creative warmth tend to be within easy reach for Koji, 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.
Mercury square Uranus
about 6.0° at midday
With Mercury square Uranus, the mind can jump so quickly that other people struggle to follow, or Koji may dismiss a slower approach that had merit. A good idea, paced, gives other people the chance to use it.
Saturn conjunction Uranus
about 6.6° at midday
With discipline and the need for independence fused, Koji 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.
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.

How this page is made
Planet positions are computed with the astronomy-engine ephemeris and checked against Swiss Ephemeris.
