Makoto Tanaka’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief

Makoto Tanaka was born on Friday, 8 August 1975, in Shizuoka, Japan. The Sun was in Leo, so Leo is their zodiac sign. The Moon left Leo for Virgo at about 21:55 local time, which leaves the Moon sign open without a birth time. Makoto turns 51 in 2026. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.

Of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, four are in fire signs, two in earth, two in air and one in water. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is four, three and two. Closest of the aspects is the sextile between Mars and Saturn, about 0.3° 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: Venus and Neptune. Over the course of the day the Moon went from new to waxing crescent.

StarMap's dataset holds 14 other people born on 8 August, among them Roger Federer, Dustin Hoffman and Jostein Gaarder.

Makoto Tanaka’s Sun, Moon and rising sign

Sun sign

Leo

about 14° Leo at midday

A Leo Sun shines. For Makoto Tanaka 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.

All Leo Suns

Moon sign

Leo or Virgo

Leo until about 21:55, then Virgo (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.

Born before about 21:55: Moon in Leo

A Leo Moon feels with its whole heart and needs that to be noticed. Warm attention tends to fill Makoto up, and being overlooked can empty them faster than anything. Play, creativity and loyal friends usually bring them back to themselves.

Born after about 21:55: Moon in Virgo

A Virgo Moon feels by fixing. When something is wrong, Makoto 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 Shizuoka, Japan, at each hour of the day.

Makoto Tanaka’s rising sign, by birth time

StarMap has not verified a birth time for Makoto 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 8 August 1975, computed for Shizuoka, Japan.

Makoto Tanaka’s planets, sign by sign

Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Makoto Tanaka’s private life.

  1. Sun in Leo

    14° Leo 58' at midday

    purpose and vitality

    Purpose for Makoto Tanaka 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.

  2. Moon in Leo or Virgo

    Leo until about 21:55, then Virgo

    needs and habits

    Born before about 21:55: 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 Makoto faster than a hard day with an audience. The mood tends to lift visibly the moment someone compliments something small Makoto did.

    Born after about 21:55: Moon in Virgo

    The Moon in Virgo runs towards order, and a messy space or an unfinished list can unsettle Makoto's mood more than most people would guess. Small, useful tasks are calming. The trouble can start when Makoto's own needs become another chore to get right instead of something to enjoy.

  3. Mercury in Leo

    22° Leo 08' at midday

    mind and voice

    Mercury in Leo gives Makoto 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 Makoto more persuasive than accurate. A simple update, in their hands, can become something closer to a performance.

  4. Venus in Virgo

    11° Virgo 38' at midday ℞

    love and values

    With Venus in Virgo, Makoto is likely to love through small, practical acts of service and to value competence and reliability in a partner. People with this Venus tend to be hardest on those they love most, and can mistake giving notes for giving care. They may try to fix a partner's problem before simply listening to it.

  5. Mars in Taurus

    25° Taurus 46' at midday

    drive and anger

    Mars in Taurus acts deliberately and sticks with a course once chosen, and its anger builds slowly but takes a long time to cool once it arrives. At times Makoto may dig in out of stubbornness rather than conviction. It takes real provocation to make this Mars snap, and the rattled feeling tends to last a while afterwards.

  6. Jupiter in Aries

    24° Aries 37' at midday

    growth and excess

    Jupiter in Aries grows through bold, direct action and taking the first step before feeling fully ready. Makoto'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.

  7. Saturn in Cancer

    25° Cancer 30' at midday

    discipline and doubt

    Emotional security is where Makoto's Saturn in Cancer builds discipline; it is a placement often associated with learning early to be the steady one. Asking for care tends to be difficult with this Saturn, even when care is clearly needed. Over time, people with this placement often become the dependable anchor for others, including some who never quite return the favour.

  8. Uranus in Libra

    28° Libra 47' at midday

    freedom, generational

    Makoto 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.

  9. Neptune in Sagittarius

    9° Sagittarius 03' at midday ℞

    imagination, generational

    Neptune in Sagittarius is the dream of a generation: grand systems of belief and utopian journeys. What belongs to Makoto in it may be a hopeful conviction that the right philosophy will resolve a practical problem.

  10. Pluto in Libra

    7° Libra 12' at midday

    power, generational

    Pluto in Libra is the signature of the generation Makoto belongs to, because Pluto moves so slowly. That generation transforms ideas of partnership, fairness and what people owe one another. Personally it can be an intense need for relationships to be fundamentally fair.

Aspects in Makoto Tanaka’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.

  1. Mars sextile Saturn

    about 0.3° at midday

    Sustained effort feels manageable, not draining, when Mars and Saturn are in sextile, and Makoto Tanaka has that combination of drive and discipline. What results is quiet, dependable follow-through, the kind that gets a long project finished while flashier approaches give out halfway.

  2. Jupiter square Saturn

    about 0.9° at midday

    Enthusiasm for growth can run into limits here, whether practical or self-imposed, and to Makoto it may feel as though ambition keeps outrunning the time and energy available. Jupiter square Saturn works best when the limit is treated as a pace-setter and not as a wall.

  3. Mercury trine Jupiter

    about 2.5° at midday

    Makoto's thinking and sense of possibility reinforce each other, which gives them an easy, optimistic way of connecting ideas. Learning and explaining come naturally with Mercury trine Jupiter, and a good explanation of theirs tends to stay with people long after the conversation ends.

  4. Venus square Neptune

    about 2.6° 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. Makoto's task is to love what is there, which tends to prove more durable than loving the fantasy.

  5. Saturn square Uranus

    about 3.3° at midday

    The need for stability and the need for freedom can clash in Makoto's chart, producing either rigid routines that eventually snap or sudden breaks from commitments that were meant sincerely. Saturn square Uranus is best answered with structure loose enough to bend before it has to break.

  6. Mercury square Mars

    about 3.6° at midday

    With Mercury square Mars, thought and impulse can clash, and sharp words get said before Makoto has fully thought them through. The remedy is a short pause between the thought and the sentence, which changes very little except the outcome.

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.

  • Jupiter opposition Uranusabout 4.2°
  • Sun trine Neptuneabout 5.9°
  • Sun conjunction Mercuryabout 7.2°
