Shoichi Nishimura’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief

18 April 1912 was a Thursday: the day Shoichi Nishimura was born in Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan. That made Shoichi an Aries. The Moon changed sign at about 01:50, from Aries to Taurus; which of the two is the Moon sign depends on the hour of birth. Shoichi died on 22 March 1998, aged 85. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.

Fire carries the most weight: four of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, against air two, water two and earth one. Cardinal signs hold five, fixed signs two and mutable signs two. Aries holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Sun, Mercury and Venus. The tightest aspect is Venus square Mars, about 0.2° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Mercury and Jupiter were retrograde. Over the course of the day the Moon went from new to waxing crescent.

StarMap's dataset holds 22 other people born on 18 April, among them James Woods, Wojciech Szczęsny and Conan O'Brien.

Shoichi Nishimura’s Sun, Moon and rising sign

Sun sign

Aries

about 27° Aries at midday

An Aries Sun starts things. For Shoichi Nishimura 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.

All Aries Suns

Moon sign

Aries or Taurus

Aries until about 01:50, then Taurus (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.

Born before about 01:50: Moon in Aries

With the Moon in Aries, Shoichi is likely to feel fast and forgive fast. Anger comes up quickly and passes just as quickly, and feeling needs a physical outlet. This is a Moon soothed by action, not by talking it over.

Born after about 01:50: 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 Shoichi, and sudden change lands hard. Once they feel safe, they can be the steadiest person in the room.

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 Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan, at each hour of the day.

Shoichi Nishimura’s rising sign, by birth time

StarMap has not verified a birth time for Shoichi 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 18 April 1912, computed for Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan.

Shoichi Nishimura’s planets, sign by sign

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

  1. Sun in Aries

    27° Aries 42' at midday

    purpose and vitality

    With the Sun in Aries, Shoichi Nishimura'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.

  2. Moon in Aries or Taurus

    Aries until about 01:50, then Taurus

    needs and habits

    Born before about 01:50: Moon in Aries

    The Moon in Aries keeps day-to-day needs simple: something to do right now, and permission to feel it and move on. For Shoichi, comfort probably comes from action rather than discussion. The instinct of this Moon is to pace the room or go for a walk rather than sit with a feeling until it passes on its own.

    Born after about 01:50: 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 Shoichi more than they let on. A good bed, a favourite mug or the same coffee order can turn an unsteady morning around.

  3. Mercury in Aries

    23° Aries 17' at midday ℞

    mind and voice

    Mercury in Aries suggests that Shoichi thinks in quick, decisive strokes and says what they mean without much preamble. Sometimes the words arrive before the thought is fully formed, which can come across sharper than intended. It is a mind that finishes other people's sentences and prefers a fast decision to a long meeting.

  4. Venus in Aries

    6° Aries 45' at midday

    love and values

    Venus in Aries loves with immediacy and pursues what it wants without much hesitation, and it values a partner who can keep up. For Shoichi that suggests an interest that can fade once the chase is over. The pattern is to fall fast and to need a relationship to keep feeling like a choice, not a routine.

  5. Mars in Cancer

    6° Cancer 55' at midday

    drive and anger

    Mars in Cancer acts to protect the people and things that matter, and its anger is usually about feeling hurt more than feeling wronged. The habit to watch, for Shoichi, may be going quiet or indirect instead of naming the upset. Other people tend to notice a shift of mood and take a while to trace it back to its cause.

  6. Jupiter in Sagittarius

    14° Sagittarius 58' at midday ℞

    growth and excess

    With Jupiter in Sagittarius, Shoichi is likely to grow through travel, study and direct experience of things bigger than ordinary life. The excess may be promising more than circumstances can deliver, out of optimism rather than dishonesty. This Jupiter carries a conviction that things will work out, and other people borrow it when theirs runs low.

  7. Saturn in Taurus

    20° Taurus 08' at midday

    discipline and doubt

    Saturn in Taurus gathers its discipline around security and the things a person relies on, and Shoichi is likely to take very little for granted. The doubt is a fear that stability could disappear, even when it clearly has not. This placement likes to know what things cost before committing, and tends to stay careful even in steady times.

  8. Uranus in Aquarius

    3° Aquarius 17' at midday

    freedom, generational

    Uranus is at home in Aquarius, and many people born in the years around Shoichi's birth have it too. The generation is defined by rapid technological and social change within a single lifetime. One person's share of it is an unusually easy relationship with disruption and reinvention.

  9. Neptune in Cancer

    21° Cancer 04' at midday

    imagination, generational

    Neptune in Cancer is shared by Shoichi and many people born in the same decade or so. The generation idealises home and family, often carrying a wider nostalgia for a version of belonging that may never quite have existed. Personally it can be a soft-focus longing for a childhood home.

  10. Pluto in Gemini

    27° Gemini 12' at midday

    power, generational

    Shoichi shares Pluto in Gemini with many people born in the same long stretch of years. That generation transforms communication and collective thought, often through upheavals in how information is controlled and shared. The personal portion is an intense relationship with what counts as truth.

Aspects in Shoichi Nishimura’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. Venus square Mars

    about 0.2° at midday

    Desire and the need for harmony can clash where Venus squares Mars, and Shoichi Nishimura may be caught between wanting something and wanting to keep the peace. What the aspect asks for is a want voiced directly, before it leaks out sideways.

  2. Sun sextile Pluto

    about 0.5° at midday

    Shoichi'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.

  3. Saturn sextile Neptune

    about 0.9° at midday

    Shoichi'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.

  4. Mercury square Neptune

    about 2.2° at midday

    Wishful assumptions, or a compelling but unverified story, can blur thinking when Mercury is square Neptune. What helps Shoichi is pairing imagination with a habit of checking the details before repeating the story as though it were settled fact.

  5. Venus sextile Uranus

    about 3.5° at midday

    An independent streak and a warm heart get along in this sextile, which tends to give Shoichi's relationships room to breathe without cooling them. The freedom involved is easy and low on drama: enough to keep a relationship interesting, never so much that it feels unstable.

  6. Mercury sextile Pluto

    about 3.9° at midday

    Shoichi's thinking can reach their depth when it needs to, which gives them insight without unnecessary intensity. With this aspect they are likely to notice what others miss, which makes them a useful person to have in a hard conversation.
