Shigeru Miyamoto’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief

Shigeru Miyamoto was born in Sonobe, Japan, on 16 November 1952, a Sunday. That makes Shigeru a Scorpio. The Moon was in Libra until about 00:20 and in Scorpio afterwards, so the Moon sign turns on the birth time. Shigeru turns 74 in 2026. No verified birth time is on file for Shigeru; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.

Of the eight planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, two are in fire signs, two in earth, two in air and two in water. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is four, three and one. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Saturn and Neptune: a conjunction, about 0.4° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Jupiter and Uranus were retrograde. The Moon was a waning crescent.

StarMap's dataset holds 11 other people born on 16 November, among them José Saramago, Chinua Achebe and Paul Scholes.

Shigeru Miyamoto’s Sun, Moon and rising sign

Sun sign

Scorpio

about 23° Scorpio at midday

A Scorpio Sun goes deep. Surface answers are unlikely to satisfy Shigeru Miyamoto, and with this Sun, loyalty, once given, tends to be total. This placement is built for transformation: it ends chapters fully so the next one can begin.

All Scorpio Suns

Moon sign

Libra or Scorpio

Libra until about 00:20, then Scorpio (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.

Born before about 00:20: Moon in Libra

A Libra Moon feels through relationship. Harmony nearby tends to settle Shigeru, 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 00:20: Moon in Scorpio

The Moon in Scorpio feels everything and shows little. For Shigeru 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 Sonobe, Japan, at each hour of the day.

Shigeru Miyamoto’s rising sign, by birth time

StarMap has not verified a birth time for Shigeru 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 November 1952, computed for Sonobe, Japan.

Shigeru Miyamoto’s planets, sign by sign

Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Shigeru Miyamoto’s private life.

  1. Sun in Scorpio

    23° Scorpio 42' at midday

    purpose and vitality

    The Sun in Scorpio finds purpose in going past the surface of things, and Shigeru Miyamoto's vitality tends to be fuelled by intensity rather than ease. The catch can be needing a crisis or a deep dive before they feel fully engaged. Small talk tends to bore them; a subject that interests them absorbs them completely.

  2. Moon in Libra or Scorpio

    Libra until about 00:20, then Scorpio

    needs and habits

    Born before about 00:20: 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 Shigeru'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 00:20: Moon in Scorpio

    For Shigeru, 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.

  3. Mercury in Sagittarius

    15° Sagittarius 18' at midday

    mind and voice

    Shigeru'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.

  4. Venus in Sagittarius or Capricorn

    Sagittarius until about 05:00, then Capricorn

    love and values

    Born before about 05:00: Venus in Sagittarius

    Venus in Sagittarius loves with enthusiasm and a need for shared adventure, and Shigeru probably values a partner who gives them room to roam. When things get serious, this placement can confuse freedom with distance. The pattern with this Venus is to plan the next trip together before settling into the current one.

    Born after about 05:00: Venus in Capricorn

    For Shigeru, 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.

  5. Mars in Capricorn

    25° Capricorn 41' at midday

    drive and anger

    Mars in Capricorn acts with discipline and patience, playing a longer game than most, and in Shigeru's case its anger tends to be controlled, arriving as coldness rather than heat. The tendency is to go quiet and distant instead of saying what is wrong. A frustration is something to outwork rather than voice.

  6. Jupiter in Taurus

    14° Taurus 51' at midday ℞

    growth and excess

    In Shigeru's chart, Jupiter in Taurus grows through patience, and what it builds tends to come together slowly and steadily rather than in one leap. Taken too far, that can become excess: holding on to more comfort or more stuff than serves them. They are probably generous with food, gifts and shared pleasures, and now and then generosity tips into indulgence.

  7. Saturn in Libra

    22° Libra 11' at midday

    discipline and doubt

    For Shigeru, Saturn in Libra means discipline built around relationships, and fairness and commitment are trusted slowly. The doubt is overthinking whether a partnership is truly equal. With time, people with this Saturn tend to become the ones others rely on to negotiate and to keep things fair.

  8. Uranus in Cancer

    18° Cancer 18' at midday ℞

    freedom, generational

    Uranus in Cancer belongs to an age group rather than to Shigeru alone. Its mark is a generation that redefines home and family, departing from the structures the previous generation grew up inside. At the personal level it is read as a pull to build family life differently.

  9. Neptune in Libra

    22° Libra 36' at midday

    imagination, generational

    A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, Shigeru 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.

  10. Pluto in Leo

    23° Leo 15' 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 Shigeru, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.

Aspects in Shigeru Miyamoto’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.

  1. Saturn conjunction Neptune

    about 0.4° at midday

    Shigeru Miyamoto tends to give a vague dream a workable shape, because Saturn conjunct Neptune ties discipline closely to imagination. It makes them unusually able to turn inspiration into something lasting, provided doubt is not allowed to talk them out of an idea before it has been tested.

  2. Sun square Pluto

    about 0.5° at midday

    With this aspect, Shigeru's identity can get entangled in struggles over control, whether inwardly or with people who challenge them. Whenever Shigeru chooses to change rather than to dominate, the friction turns into hard-won strength they can rely on the next time things get difficult.

  3. Saturn sextile Pluto

    about 1.1° at midday

    No crisis is needed to bring out Shigeru's resilience, because discipline and depth are on working terms in this sextile. Long, steady effort tends to be rewarded in ways that build quietly over time, not all at once.

  4. Sun sextile Mars

    about 2.0° at midday

    Shigeru'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.

  5. Mars square Neptune

    about 3.1° at midday

    Under this square, drive can dissolve into confusion or self-doubt just when clarity matters most, especially around goals that involve other people's expectations. It helps Shigeru to separate the plan itself from the feeling of overwhelm that surrounds it.

  6. Jupiter sextile Uranus

    about 3.4° at midday

    This sextile puts possibility and originality on easy terms, so Shigeru can take up a fresh opportunity without much disruption. Think of it as innovation at low cost, the kind that improves something without first tearing it down.

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.
