Naotake Hanyu’s birth chart
Born 22 December 1979, in Chiba, Japan. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Sun in Sagittarius or Capricorn · Moon in Capricorn or Aquarius
Naotake Hanyu’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
22 December 1979 was a Saturday: the day Naotake Hanyu was born in Chiba, Japan. The Sun moved from Sagittarius into Capricorn at about 20:10 local time that day, so the zodiac sign depends on the birth time: Sagittarius for a birth before then, Capricorn after. The Moon left Capricorn for Aquarius at about 02:15 local time, which leaves the Moon sign open without a birth time. Naotake turns 47 in 2026. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.
Earth carries the most weight: four of the eight planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, against fire two, air one and water one. Mutable signs hold five, cardinal signs two and fixed signs one. Virgo holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Neptune and Pluto: a sextile, about 0.9° 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 a waxing crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 18 other people born on 22 December, among them Basshunter, Joshua Bassett and Ralph Fiennes.

Naotake Hanyu’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Sagittarius or Capricorn
Sagittarius until about 20:10, then Capricorn (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 20:10: Sun in Sagittarius
A Sagittarius Sun seeks. Meaning, distance and the bigger picture are likely to pull Naotake Hanyu forward, and the honesty of this placement is a kind of generosity. Its lesson is that the journey also needs somewhere to land.
Born after about 20:10: Sun in Capricorn
A Capricorn Sun endures. Ambition, patience and a dry sense of humour are what tend to carry Naotake up long slopes other people give up on. The placement learns, eventually, that rest is part of the climb.
Moon sign
Capricorn or Aquarius
Capricorn until about 02:15, then Aquarius (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 02:15: Moon in Capricorn
A Capricorn Moon feels responsibly. With it, Naotake 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.
Born after about 02:15: Moon in Aquarius
An Aquarius Moon feels from a step back. Naotake 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 Chiba, Japan, at each hour of the day.
Naotake Hanyu’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Naotake 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 22 December 1979, computed for Chiba, Japan.

The chart wheel
Drawn for midday on 22 December 1979, with only the aspects that held all day. The Moon may stand up to eight degrees either side of where it is drawn. The Sun is drawn at its midday place; it moved from Sagittarius into Capricorn at about 20:10, so its sign depends on the birth time. How to read a chart wheel

Naotake Hanyu’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Naotake Hanyu’s private life.
Sun in Sagittarius or Capricorn
Sagittarius until about 20:10, then Capricorn
purpose and vitality
Born before about 20:10: Sun in Sagittarius
Growth, travel and ideas bigger than daily life are where Naotake Hanyu'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.
Born after about 20:10: Sun in Capricorn
With the Sun in Capricorn, Naotake is likely to find purpose in building a reputation and a structure that will outlast them, with a vitality that is steady rather than showy. The trap can be measuring their worth by output alone. They may well work through tiredness instead of naming it, until someone else has to point it out.
Moon in Capricorn or Aquarius
Capricorn until about 02:15, then Aquarius
needs and habits
Born before about 02:15: Moon in Capricorn
With the Moon in Capricorn, Naotake'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.
Born after about 02:15: Moon in Aquarius
An Aquarius Moon processes daily feelings by stepping back and thinking them through rather than sitting inside them, and Naotake 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.
Naotake's Mercury in Sagittarius thinks in big, connective leaps and communicates with enthusiasm and a wide frame of reference drawn from everywhere they have been. The weak point is generalising past what the details support. A specific question may get a sweeping theory nobody quite asked for.
For Naotake, Venus in Capricorn means loving in a measured, committed way and valuing stability, ambition and someone to build a life with. The trap is treating a relationship like a project to manage rather than let unfold. With this Venus, love comes out more easily as providing and planning than as words said out loud.
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, Naotake is more likely to criticise than to confront. A clipped tone often signals frustration well before anything is said directly.
Jupiter in Virgo
10° Virgo 12' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Virgo finds its growth in mastering a craft in unglamorous detail, one small correction at a time. For Naotake, perfectionism may be the excess, turning growth into an endless list of corrections. People with this Jupiter are often trusted with more responsibility than they feel they deserve, usually because the care in the work shows.
Competence is what Saturn in Virgo builds discipline around, often driven by a fear of not yet having done enough to deserve rest. Naotake may feel like a fraud even when the track record says otherwise. The usual result is someone quietly excellent at something long before they will admit it out loud.
Uranus in Scorpio
23° Scorpio 32' at midday
freedom, generational
Much of Naotake's age group has Uranus in Scorpio. It changes attitudes to power, secrecy and what is held in common, often while living through upheavals in institutions once considered permanent. In an individual it tends to be a low tolerance for hidden agendas.
Neptune in Sagittarius
20° Sagittarius 33' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Sagittarius is the dream of a generation: grand systems of belief and utopian journeys. What belongs to Naotake in it may be a hopeful conviction that the right philosophy will resolve a practical problem.
Pluto in Libra
21° Libra 26' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Libra is the signature of the generation Naotake 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 Naotake Hanyu’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.
Mercury square Mars
about 1.4° at midday
With Mercury square Mars, thought and impulse can clash, and sharp words get said before Naotake Hanyu has fully thought them through. The remedy is a short pause between the thought and the sentence, which changes very little except the outcome.
Mars conjunction Jupiter
about 1.6° at midday
Mars conjunct Jupiter lends Naotake's drive a bold confidence, and they tend to act on a big goal before doubt has a chance to catch up. Momentum is the gift here; pacing is the skill, so that the energy lasts beyond the first burst of enthusiasm.
Venus trine Saturn
about 2.4° at midday
A steady, dependable way of loving, one that people trust, is what this trine gives Naotake, since affection and commitment hold each other up. Relationships built on it tend to last, often well past the point where less committed people would have moved on.
Sun square Saturn
about 2.9° 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 Naotake pushes through it anyway, the achievement means more because it was tested.
Mercury square Jupiter
about 3.0° at midday
Thinking can run ahead of the evidence when Mercury is square Jupiter, leading to overconfident claims or promises made faster than Naotake can check them. Matching enthusiasm to what has been verified makes their confidence more durable, not less.
Saturn sextile Uranus
about 3.2° at midday
Discipline and independence combine in this sextile to give Naotake a workable way of keeping a routine while leaving room to change it. The flexibility is quiet and sustainable, and it keeps a good habit from calcifying into an unquestioned 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.
