Ryoichi Kawakatsu’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Ryoichi Kawakatsu was born on Saturday, 5 April 1958, in Kyoto, Japan. Their zodiac sign is Aries. The Moon left Libra for Scorpio at about 14:15 local time, which leaves the Moon sign open without a birth time. Ryoichi turns 68 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 three fire, three air, two earth and one water, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. By modality the count is five fixed, two cardinal and two mutable. Closest of the aspects is the trine between Venus and Jupiter, about 0.2° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Four planets were retrograde all day: Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Saturn changed direction that day, turning retrograde, so whether it was retrograde at the birth depends on the hour. Over the course of the day the Moon went from full to waning gibbous.
StarMap's dataset holds 26 other people born on 5 April, among them Bette Davis, Gregory Peck and Spencer Tracy.

Ryoichi Kawakatsu’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Aries
about 14° Aries at midday
An Aries Sun starts things. For Ryoichi Kawakatsu that points to energy that is direct and impatient with delay, and to feeling most like themselves when there is something to go first at. The work of this placement is finishing what the spark began.
Moon sign
Libra or Scorpio
Libra until about 14:15, then Scorpio (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 14:15: Moon in Libra
A Libra Moon feels through relationship. Harmony nearby tends to settle Ryoichi, and conflict, even other people's, can unsettle them. What restores this Moon is beauty, fairness, and one person who truly listens.
Born after about 14:15: Moon in Scorpio
The Moon in Scorpio feels everything and shows little. For Ryoichi 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.
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 Kyoto, Japan, at each hour of the day.
Ryoichi Kawakatsu’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Ryoichi 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 5 April 1958, computed for Kyoto, Japan.

Ryoichi Kawakatsu’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Ryoichi Kawakatsu’s private life.
With the Sun in Aries, Ryoichi Kawakatsu's sense of purpose tends to come alive when there is a clear start line. They probably feel most like themselves pushing into something new, though that energy can burn hot and fade before the finish. The typical pattern is a project launched with excitement, then handed off once the routine sets in.
Moon in Libra or Scorpio
Libra until about 14:15, then Scorpio
needs and habits
Born before about 14:15: Moon in Libra
A Libra Moon needs harmony in the immediate surroundings to feel settled day to day, and a tense conversation nearby can throw off Ryoichi's whole afternoon. Comfort comes from pleasant company and pleasant spaces. The habit to watch is smoothing things over before they have worked out what they want.
Born after about 14:15: Moon in Scorpio
For Ryoichi, 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.
With Mercury in Taurus, Ryoichi is likely to think slowly and thoroughly, and a conclusion once reached is rarely revisited without good reason. The communication style is plain and practical rather than showy. A new idea that clashes with what they already believe may have to wait a while for a hearing.
Venus in Aquarius loves as a friend first, and values independence, shared ideas and a partner who allows plenty of room. Ryoichi may keep just enough distance that closeness feels slightly out of reach, even to them. This Venus can prize a partner's individuality more than the intimacy between them.
Mars in Aquarius acts on principle, and its anger surfaces most over unfairness or hypocrisy rather than personal slights. Ryoichi can detach from a conflict so thoroughly that the other person feels shut out. The issue tends to get argued with heat while the relationship itself is treated with strange calm.
Jupiter in Libra
28° Libra 19' at midday ℞
growth and excess
In Ryoichi's chart, Jupiter in Libra suggests growth through partnership and a gift for bringing people together. Excess here looks like pleasing people so broadly that every expectation becomes a commitment. Someone with this Jupiter is often the connector whose introductions and events other people benefit from more than they realise.
Saturn in Sagittarius builds discipline around belief and meaning, testing a big idea hard before committing to it. In front of people who might challenge a conviction, Ryoichi is likely to hedge. Over time, someone with this Saturn often becomes a credible voice on the very questions they once felt they had no right to answer.
Uranus in Leo
7° Leo 34' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Ryoichi shares Uranus in Leo with a generation, one that redefines self-expression and individuality, often through forms of creativity and visibility that were not available before. Closer to home, it suggests being comfortable with being seen in ways older relatives find unfamiliar.
Neptune in Scorpio
3° Scorpio 55' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
Neptune in Scorpio marks a long season that Ryoichi 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
0° Virgo 05' at midday ℞
power, generational
Pluto in Virgo is shared by Ryoichi 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 Ryoichi Kawakatsu’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.
Venus trine Jupiter
about 0.2° at midday
Affection and a sense of plenty reinforce each other in Ryoichi Kawakatsu's chart, and the result is a warm, easy generosity in relationships. With this trine, goodwill in love and friendship tends to be given freely and returned in kind, without much forcing on either side.
Mercury trine Pluto
about 0.6° at midday
Ryoichi's thinking and depth support each other, which gives them a natural ability to work through complex or hidden material without getting overwhelmed. With Mercury trine Pluto, research and difficult conversations both come easily, and Ryoichi can stay with a hard subject long after others have looked away.
Sun sextile Mars
about 1.0° at midday
Ryoichi's identity and energy work together, giving them an easy confidence that is there when they decide to use it. With this aspect, taking the initiative comes more naturally than might be expected, especially when the stakes are theirs to own.
Venus opposition Pluto
about 1.6° at midday
A wish for deep intimacy meets a fear of losing oneself, or losing control, inside it: that is the pattern of Venus opposite Pluto. For Ryoichi, choosing vulnerability a little at a time, instead of guarding against it, tends to build the very depth being sought.
Jupiter sextile Pluto
about 1.8° at midday
Meaningful growth without constant upheaval is what Jupiter sextile Pluto describes, with Ryoichi's sense of possibility and depth working in concert. The opportunities that matter tend to come at a manageable pace, not all at once in a way that would be hard to absorb.
Mercury sextile Venus
about 2.2° at midday
Thinking and affection are easy companions in Ryoichi's chart, which gives them a natural charm in how they communicate. With Mercury sextile Venus, expressing appreciation and finding the right words go together, especially in moments when they want someone to feel noticed.
