Minoru Kobata’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
24 November 1946 was a Sunday: the day Minoru Kobata was born in Saitama Prefecture, Japan. That makes Minoru a Sagittarius. The Moon changed sign at about 00:45, from Scorpio to Sagittarius; which of the two is the Moon sign depends on the hour of birth. Minoru turns 80 in 2026. No verified birth time is on file for Minoru; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
By element the count is four fire, three water, two air and no earth, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. Fixed signs hold five, mutable signs three and cardinal signs one. Three planets stand together in Scorpio: Mercury, Venus and Jupiter. The tightest aspect is Jupiter square Pluto, about 0.5° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Uranus and Pluto were retrograde. The Moon was new.
StarMap's dataset holds 11 other people born on 24 November, among them Arundhati Roy, Emir Kusturica and Katherine Heigl.

Minoru Kobata’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Sagittarius
about 1° Sagittarius at midday
A Sagittarius Sun seeks. Meaning, distance and the bigger picture are likely to pull Minoru Kobata forward, and the honesty of this placement is a kind of generosity. Its lesson is that the journey also needs somewhere to land.
Moon sign
Scorpio or Sagittarius
Scorpio until about 00:45, then Sagittarius (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 00:45: Moon in Scorpio
The Moon in Scorpio feels everything and shows little. For Minoru that suggests trust that is slow, private and absolute; betrayal, once it happens, is not forgotten. This Moon is restored by intimacy without performance and by time alone to let things move.
Born after about 00:45: Moon in Sagittarius
A Sagittarius Moon feels best in motion. Open roads, new ideas and honest laughter probably lift Minoru, 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.
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.
Minoru Kobata’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Minoru 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 24 November 1946, computed for Saitama Prefecture, Japan.

Minoru Kobata’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Minoru Kobata’s private life.
Growth, travel and ideas bigger than daily life are where Minoru Kobata's Sagittarius Sun finds purpose, and their energy tends to lift the moment there is somewhere new to go. Familiarity is what wears on this placement. A few months into any routine, however good it is, restlessness usually sets in.

Scorpio until about 00:45, then Sagittarius
needs and habits
Born before about 00:45: Moon in Scorpio
For Minoru, the Moon in Scorpio means emotional needs that run deep and private, and a preference for managing a hard feeling alone over explaining it while it is still raw. Trust builds slowly and is rarely given back once broken. Even among the people closest to them, this Moon is likely to need real privacy.
Born after about 00:45: 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 Minoru edgy faster than most people expect. With this Moon, the next trip tends to be planned before the current one has finished.
With Mercury in Scorpio, Minoru 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 loves intensely and privately, and Minoru 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.
Mars in Sagittarius acts boldly and wants room to move while doing it, and its anger flares fast over anything that feels like a limit on freedom. Minoru may speak bluntly in the heat of the moment and smooth it over later. Given the choice, this placement walks away from a fight rather than staying to work it out.
Jupiter in Scorpio
12° Scorpio 50' 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 Minoru, 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 Leo builds discipline around self-expression, and in Minoru's chart this placement often starts with a fear of being laughed at or overlooked. The doubt tends to show as playing down achievements before anyone else can. The confidence this placement builds is hard-won and unshowy, and it tends to arrive once the waiting for permission stops.
Uranus in Gemini
20° Gemini 31' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Uranus in Gemini is shared by Minoru 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 Libra
10° Libra 07' at midday
imagination, generational
A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, Minoru among them. It idealises romantic partnership, often shaped by images of love on screen that outpace real relationships. The personal echo is a dreamy standard for what a relationship should feel like.
Pluto in Leo
13° Leo 21' 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 Minoru, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in Minoru Kobata’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.
Jupiter square Pluto
about 0.5° at midday
Ambition can turn into a struggle for control under this square, over outcomes that were never fully Minoru Kobata's to control. The considerable drive involved is better aimed at transformation than at domination, which tends to produce a result that lasts.
Mars trine Pluto
about 0.7° at midday
Resilience under pressure, and the ability to come back stronger from a setback, are the marks of this trine between drive and the capacity for change. In Minoru's chart the aspect points to a quiet, formidable strength, the kind other people notice mainly in how little it seems to cost.
Saturn sextile Neptune
about 1.3° at midday
Minoru's ideas tend to take a workable, grounded shape without losing their spark, a result of the gentle alliance between discipline and imagination in this sextile. It is a quiet, practical creativity, and it usually produces something people can use and not just admire.
Mars sextile Neptune
about 2.5° at midday
In Minoru's chart, drive and imagination help each other along gently, so inspired action is possible before everything has been mapped out. The motivation is soft but workable, and it keeps a creative or compassionate project moving without forcing it.
Mars trine Saturn
about 3.7° at midday
Staying power on long, difficult goals is what Mars trine Saturn offers, with drive and discipline reinforcing each other. Minoru is likely to get more done, more consistently, than the visible effort would suggest, which is a quiet advantage over time.
Jupiter square Saturn
about 4.0° at midday
Enthusiasm for growth can run into limits here, whether practical or self-imposed, and to Minoru 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.
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.
