Manisha Koirala’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
16 August 1970 was a Sunday: the day Manisha Koirala was born in Kathmandu, Nepal. Their zodiac sign is Leo, with the Moon in Aquarius. Manisha turns 56 in 2026. StarMap has no verified birth time for Manisha, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
By element the count is three earth, three air, two fire and two water. By modality the count is six fixed, two cardinal and two mutable. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Sun and Saturn: a square, about 0.7° 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. Over the course of the day the Moon went from waxing gibbous to full.
StarMap's dataset holds 22 other people born on 16 August, among them Madonna, James Cameron and Charles Bukowski. Saif Ali Khan was born on the very same day.

Manisha Koirala’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Leo
about 22° Leo at midday
A Leo Sun shines. For Manisha Koirala 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
Aquarius
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
An Aquarius Moon feels from a step back. Manisha 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 Kathmandu, Nepal, at each hour of the day.
Manisha Koirala’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Manisha 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 August 1970, computed for Kathmandu, Nepal.

Manisha Koirala’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Manisha Koirala’s private life.
Purpose for Manisha Koirala 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.
An Aquarius Moon processes daily feelings by stepping back and thinking them through rather than sitting inside them, and Manisha 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.
For Manisha, Mercury in Virgo points to thinking that is precise and attentive to detail, and to clear communication, because the facts have usually been checked first. The catch is fixating on a small error and losing sight of the larger point. This is the placement that edits a message three times before sending something everyone else would have sent in one go.
Venus in Libra loves with an instinct for balance and partnership, and Manisha probably values harmony, fairness and someone who makes an effort to look good together. The risk with this Venus is staying in a relationship for the sake of the pairing itself. Manisha may give up a personal preference before anyone has even asked.
Mars in Leo acts with confidence and wants the effort to be visible, and for Manisha its anger is likely to flare when pride or loyalty is challenged. The tension is turning a disagreement into a matter of ego. Criticism of the work can feel personal to a Leo Mars, even when it was not meant that way.
Jupiter in Scorpio
0° Scorpio 04' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Scorpio grows by facing what is difficult rather than avoiding it, even when that is the harder road at the time. The overreach, for Manisha, may be an intensity that turns a manageable situation into an all-consuming one. The resilience tends to be noticed only after the hard part is over.
Saturn in Taurus gathers its discipline around security and the things a person relies on, and Manisha is likely to take very little for granted. The doubt is a fear that stability could disappear, even when it clearly has not. This placement likes to know what things cost before committing, and tends to stay careful even in steady times.
Uranus in Libra
6° Libra 23' at midday
freedom, generational
Manisha 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.
Neptune in Scorpio
28° Scorpio 07' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Scorpio marks a long season that Manisha shares with many people of a similar age. Its imagination is drawn to the hidden, the taboo and the transformative, with a wider cultural fascination for secrets and endings. In an individual that can be a pull towards mystery for its own sake.
Pluto in Virgo
25° Virgo 57' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Virgo is shared by Manisha and many people born in the same span of years. That generation lives through deep change in work, in how services are organised, and in daily life itself. In one person that can be intensity around control, order and how much any one system can carry.
Aspects in Manisha Koirala’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 square Saturn
about 0.7° at midday
With the Sun square Saturn, confidence meets resistance, often in the form of self-doubt or an authority figure whose approval feels hard to win. When Manisha Koirala pushes through it anyway, the achievement means more because it was tested.
Mercury trine Saturn
about 1.9° at midday
Manisha's thinking has discipline behind it, which gives them a clear, methodical way of working through ideas. With Mercury trine Saturn, conclusions can be trusted because they have usually been tested already, often more thoroughly than anyone nearby realises.
Venus conjunction Uranus
about 2.0° at midday
Affection runs independent and a little unpredictable with Venus conjunct Uranus, and Manisha is likely to be drawn to people and situations that keep them interested more than settled. There is romantic excitement in that. The difficulty is letting closeness deepen without the urge to bolt from it.
Saturn trine Pluto
about 3.7° at midday
Discipline and the capacity for transformation work together under Saturn trine Pluto, so Manisha can rebuild after a setback with a strength that outlasts the difficulty. Such endurance is quiet and formidable, and other people tend to notice it only in hindsight, once the hard period has passed.
Mars square Saturn
about 3.7° at midday
Manisha'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.
Sun conjunction Mars
about 4.4° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Mars, Manisha's will and identity are fused, which makes for strong, immediate drive and a low tolerance for sitting still. They probably act on impulse more often than most, and aiming that energy at a goal of their own serves them better than using it up on the first thing in front of them.
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. Birth dates and places come from Wikidata; birth times, where StarMap has one, come from Astro-Databank and are shown with their Rodden rating. The readings describe what a placement is traditionally taken to mean. They are written by StarMap for reflection and entertainment, not as statements about the person’s private life. New to charts?
