Shu Kurata’s birth chart
Born 26 November 1988, in Takatsuki, Japan. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Sagittarius Sun · Moon in Gemini or Cancer
Shu Kurata’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
26 November 1988 was a Saturday: the day Shu Kurata was born in Takatsuki, Japan. Their zodiac sign is Sagittarius. The Moon changed sign at about 02:20, from Gemini to Cancer; which of the two is the Moon sign depends on the hour of birth. Shu turns 38 in 2026. 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 earth two, water two and air one. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is three, two and four. Sun, Mercury and Uranus all fall in Sagittarius. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Mercury and Jupiter: an opposition, about 0.5° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Jupiter was retrograde. The Moon was waning gibbous, between full and last quarter.
StarMap's dataset holds 12 other people born on 26 November, among them Tina Turner, Eugène Ionesco and Rita Ora.

Shu Kurata’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Sagittarius
about 4° Sagittarius at midday
A Sagittarius Sun seeks. Meaning, distance and the bigger picture are likely to pull Shu Kurata forward, and the honesty of this placement is a kind of generosity. Its lesson is that the journey also needs somewhere to land.
Moon sign
Gemini or Cancer
Gemini until about 02:20, then Cancer (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 02:20: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini processes feeling by naming it. For Shu, 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.
Born after about 02:20: Moon in Cancer
The Moon is at home in Cancer. For Shu that points to feelings that are tidal, strong and closely tied to the people they love, and to a memory for how everything felt. This Moon is restored by home, by cooking, and by being needed.
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 Takatsuki, Japan, at each hour of the day.
Shu Kurata’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Shu 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 26 November 1988, computed for Takatsuki, Japan.

Shu Kurata’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Shu Kurata’s private life.
Growth, travel and ideas bigger than daily life are where Shu Kurata'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.

Gemini until about 02:20, then Cancer
needs and habits
Born before about 02:20: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini runs its daily habits on conversation and mental stimulation, and Shu 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.
Born after about 02:20: Moon in Cancer
With the Moon in Cancer, Shu's needs tend to be tied to home, routine and the people they check in on daily. Small rituals are steadying: a particular meal, a particular chair. The tension is reading other people's moods so closely that those moods can be taken on without noticing.
Shu'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.
Venus in Scorpio loves intensely and privately, and Shu is likely to value depth and total honesty over ease. Testing loyalty can create the very distance this placement fears most. There is an all-or-nothing quality to how this Venus commits, with little interest in anything in between.
For Shu, Mars in Aries points to acting immediately and decisively, with anger that tends to flare fast, hot and honest before it clears. The downside is acting before a situation has been thought all the way through. The argument or the project tends to start the second the impulse arrives, with little patience for waiting.
Jupiter in Gemini
0° Gemini 38' at midday ℞
growth and excess
Jupiter in Gemini grows through learning and exposure to as many ideas as can be gathered, and its optimism is contagious in conversation. Shu may overreach by knowing a little about everything and claiming more certainty than the depth supports. This is someone who can be the best-read person in the room on subjects they have never studied closely.
Saturn is at home in Capricorn, a placement that builds discipline as naturally as breathing and often takes on responsibility earlier than most. The doubt, for Shu, may be never quite believing that enough has been achieved to relax. Others tend to recognise this kind of authority well before it is claimed.
Uranus in Sagittarius
29° Sagittarius 37' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus in Sagittarius is less about Shu than about the years around their birth. People of that age transform belief and access to knowledge, often through unprecedented exposure to other cultures and ideas. The personal trace is a restlessness with any single worldview presented as the only one.
Neptune in Capricorn
8° Capricorn 37' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Capricorn is shared by Shu and about fourteen years of births. The imagination of the generation questions or idealises authority and ambition, often shaped by wide disillusionment with institutions. The personal version may be an uneasy relationship with conventional success.
Pluto in Scorpio
13° Scorpio 21' at midday
power, generational
Pluto is at home in Scorpio, and the generation born with it lives through profound upheavals in power, secrecy and shared taboos. Shu's own share may be an unusually deep comfort with intensity that others would find overwhelming.
Aspects in Shu Kurata’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 opposition Jupiter
about 0.5° at midday
With Mercury opposite Jupiter, Shu Kurata's own considered opinion has to compete with other people's big claims and grand theories, and it is easy to get swept into someone else's certainty. For Shu, trusting their own careful thinking usually works better than borrowing that confidence.
Sun trine Mars
about 0.8° at midday
Confidence and drive move in the same direction for Shu, so they are likely to act on their goals with very little inner resistance. The energy of a Sun-Mars trine is uncomplicated, and other people notice it and often want to be near it.
Venus sextile Saturn
about 1.7° at midday
This sextile tends to lend a workable, grounded steadiness to Shu's relationships, since affection and a sense of structure get along. Once Shu decides a commitment is right, it usually comes naturally, without the drama that faster, less considered relationships sometimes carry.
Saturn conjunction Uranus
about 1.8° at midday
With discipline and the need for independence fused, Shu tends to build structure their own way instead of inheriting someone else's. Saturn conjunct Uranus makes them an original builder, and the challenge is letting a good structure stay flexible and not harden into another rule.
Sun conjunction Mercury
about 3.0° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Mercury, Shu's sense of self and way of thinking are fused, so an opinion can feel like a statement of who they are. They are likely to speak their mind readily, and telling a passing thought apart from their identity is a practice worth keeping up.
Mars square Saturn
about 3.4° at midday
Shu's drive can meet resistance, from outside obstacles or from private doubt, and frustration builds when progress feels blocked. Under this square, every stretch of steady work done anyway turns that resistance into competence, the kind that is there when it is needed most.
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.

How this page is made
Planet positions are computed with the astronomy-engine ephemeris and checked against Swiss Ephemeris. Birth dates and places come from Wikidata; birth times, where StarMap has one, come from Astro-Databank and are shown with their Rodden rating. The readings describe what a placement is traditionally taken to mean. They are written by StarMap for reflection and entertainment, not as statements about the person’s private life. New to charts?
