Nobuo Kawakami’s birth chart
Born 4 October 1947, in Saitama, Japan. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Libra Sun · Moon in Taurus or Gemini
Nobuo Kawakami’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
4 October 1947 was a Saturday: the day Nobuo Kawakami was born in Saitama, Japan. Their zodiac sign is Libra. The Moon was in Taurus until about 16:45 and in Gemini afterwards, so the Moon sign turns on the birth time. Nobuo turns 79 in 2026. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.
By element the count is four air, three fire, two water and no earth, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is three, five and one. Three planets stand together in Libra: Sun, Venus and Neptune. Mars, Saturn and Pluto all fall in Leo. The tightest aspect is Sun conjunction Neptune, about 0.5° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. One planet was retrograde: Uranus. The Moon was waning gibbous, between full and last quarter.
StarMap's dataset holds 16 other people born on 4 October, among them Susan Sarandon, Charlton Heston and Christoph Waltz.

Nobuo Kawakami’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Libra
about 10° Libra at midday
A Libra Sun balances. Fairness, beauty and the quality of relationships tend to shape Nobuo Kawakami's decisions, and this is a placement that can see both sides of almost anything. The growth lies in choosing a side when it counts.
Moon sign
Taurus or Gemini
Taurus until about 16:45, then Gemini (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 16:45: Moon in Taurus
A Taurus Moon feels through the body and its surroundings. On this reading, good food, familiar places and slow evenings are what restore Nobuo, and sudden change lands hard. Once they feel safe, they can be the steadiest person in the room.
Born after about 16:45: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini processes feeling by naming it. For Nobuo, talking, writing and switching perspective are likely ways to settle, and silence can make small worries loud. They probably need people who let them think out loud.
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, Japan, at each hour of the day.
Nobuo Kawakami’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Nobuo 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 4 October 1947, computed for Saitama, Japan.

Nobuo Kawakami’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Nobuo Kawakami’s private life.
With the Sun in Libra, Nobuo Kawakami's vitality is likely to rise in good company, and purpose to feel real when they are creating balance or beauty with other people. The risk is losing their own direction while managing everyone else's. Deciding alone is probably harder for them than deciding with a second opinion in the room.
Moon in Taurus or Gemini
Taurus until about 16:45, then Gemini
needs and habits
Born before about 16:45: Moon in Taurus
A Taurus Moon needs routine, familiar food and physical comfort to feel steady from day to day. A sudden change of schedule probably unsettles Nobuo more than they let on. A good bed, a favourite mug or the same coffee order can turn an unsteady morning around.
Born after about 16:45: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini runs its daily habits on conversation and mental stimulation, and Nobuo is likely to settle by talking a worry through rather than sitting with it quietly. A day with no one to talk to can leave them restless. The habit is to message a friend the moment something comes to mind, before deciding what to think about it.
With Mercury in Scorpio, Nobuo 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 Libra loves with an instinct for balance and partnership, and Nobuo 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. Nobuo 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 Nobuo 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
26° Scorpio 03' 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 Nobuo, 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 Nobuo'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
26° Gemini 10' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Uranus in Gemini is shared by Nobuo 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 31' at midday
imagination, generational
A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, Nobuo 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
14° Leo 31' 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 Nobuo, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in Nobuo Kawakami’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 conjunction Neptune
about 0.5° at midday
A Sun-Neptune conjunction tends to make Nobuo Kawakami's sense of self porous and imaginative, drawn towards ideals, art or causes bigger than everyday life. Compassion and creativity come with it, and so does the task of keeping a clear enough sense of who they are underneath the dream.
Venus sextile Saturn
about 1.2° at midday
This sextile tends to lend a workable, grounded steadiness to Nobuo's relationships, since affection and a sense of structure get along. Once Nobuo decides a commitment is right, it usually comes naturally, without the drama that faster, less considered relationships sometimes carry.
Mercury square Mars
about 1.5° at midday
With Mercury square Mars, thought and impulse can clash, and sharp words get said before Nobuo has fully thought them through. The remedy is a short pause between the thought and the sentence, which changes very little except the outcome.
Venus sextile Pluto
about 3.7° at midday
This sextile promises intimacy without unnecessary drama, with Nobuo's affections and depth working side by side. Relationships tend to deepen at a comfortable pace, with no crisis or dramatic turning point needed to get there.
Sun sextile Pluto
about 4.5° at midday
Nobuo's identity and depth are allies, which gives them resilience without constant upheaval. They probably handle intensity better than most, and it takes less out of them than it looks from outside, especially once they trust their own steadiness.
Saturn conjunction Pluto
about 4.9° at midday
Saturn conjunct Pluto describes discipline forged through intensity, often after a period that asked for more endurance than seemed fair at the time. For Nobuo the aspect suggests serious, hard-won resilience, and the remaining step is trusting that what needed proving has been proved.
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.
