Sun Myung Moon’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief

Sun Myung Moon was born in North Pyongan Province, North Korea, on 6 January 1920, a Tuesday. Their zodiac sign was Capricorn, with the Moon in Cancer. They died on 2 September 2012, aged 92. StarMap has no verified birth time for them, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.

Of the ten planets, four are in fire signs, two in earth, two in air and two in water. By modality the count is four cardinal, three fixed and three mutable. Closest of the aspects is the sextile between Mercury and Uranus, about 2.3° 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: Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto. The Moon was full.

StarMap's dataset holds 17 other people born on 6 January, among them Rowan Atkinson, Adriano Celentano and Eddie Redmayne.

Sun Myung Moon’s Sun, Moon and rising sign

Sun sign

Capricorn

about 14° Capricorn at midday

A Capricorn Sun endures. Ambition, patience and a dry sense of humour are what tend to carry Sun Myung Moon up long slopes other people give up on. The placement learns, eventually, that rest is part of the climb.

Moon sign

Cancer

in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time

The Moon is at home in Cancer. For Sun Myung Moon 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 North Pyongan Province, North Korea, at each hour of the day.

Sun Myung Moon’s rising sign, by birth time

StarMap has not verified a birth time for Sun Myung Moon 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 6 January 1920, computed for North Pyongan Province, North Korea.

Sun Myung Moon’s planets, sign by sign

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

  1. Sun in Capricorn

    14° Capricorn 30' at midday

    purpose and vitality

    With the Sun in Capricorn, Sun Myung Moon is likely to find purpose in building a reputation and a structure that will outlast them, with a vitality that is steady rather than showy. The trap can be measuring their worth by output alone. They may well work through tiredness instead of naming it, until someone else has to point it out.

  2. Moon in Cancer

    Cancer, all day

    needs and habits

    With the Moon in Cancer, Sun Myung Moon'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.

  3. Mercury in Sagittarius

    26° Sagittarius 55' at midday

    mind and voice

    Sun Myung Moon'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

    2° Sagittarius 02' at midday

    love and values

    Venus in Sagittarius loves with enthusiasm and a need for shared adventure, and Sun Myung Moon 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.

  5. Mars in Libra

    18° Libra 58' at midday

    drive and anger

    In Sun Myung Moon's chart, Mars in Libra acts diplomatically and prefers negotiation to confrontation, and its anger tends to stay buried until it is too big to ignore. Avoided consistently, conflict leaves resentment building underneath the calm surface. The pattern is saying yes to something that rankled, then feeling it later.

  6. Jupiter in Leo

    16° Leo 32' at midday ℞

    growth and excess

    Jupiter in Leo grows through creative confidence and a willingness to take up space. For Sun Myung Moon the overreach may be overselling their own contribution or expecting more credit than a situation calls for. There is a natural showmanship here that lifts a room, and occasionally a story that grows a little in the retelling.

  7. Saturn in Virgo

    11° Virgo 30' at midday ℞

    discipline and doubt

    Competence is what Saturn in Virgo builds discipline around, often driven by a fear of not yet having done enough to deserve rest. Sun Myung Moon may feel like a fraud even when the track record says otherwise. The usual result is someone quietly excellent at something long before they will admit it out loud.

  8. Uranus in Aquarius

    29° Aquarius 11' at midday

    freedom, generational

    Uranus is at home in Aquarius, and many people born in the years around Sun Myung Moon'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 Leo

    10° Leo 50' at midday ℞

    imagination, generational

    Neptune in Leo is the imagination of an age group, not of Sun Myung Moon alone. It dreams in terms of fame, spectacle and larger-than-life self-expression. The trace of it in one person is a pull towards performance as a way of feeling real.

  10. Pluto in Cancer

    6° Cancer 34' at midday ℞

    power, generational

    Pluto in Cancer dates Sun Myung Moon to an era rather than describing one person. Those born in it live through deep transformation of family, home and nationhood. What an individual may carry is intensity around belonging and who counts as family.

Aspects in Sun Myung Moon’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. Mercury sextile Uranus

    about 2.3° at midday

    Fresh angles on ordinary problems come easily to Sun Myung Moon, because thinking and originality are friends here. Inventiveness takes little effort with this aspect, and it makes routine problems more interesting than they first appear.

  2. Mars sextile Jupiter

    about 2.4° at midday

    There is confident, well-aimed energy in this sextile, and not much wasted effort, since Sun Myung Moon's drive and optimism pull together. Taking the initiative suits Sun Myung Moon, above all when they commit to one goal and do not scatter their energy across several.

  3. Venus square Uranus

    about 2.9° at midday

    In Sun Myung Moon's chart the desire for closeness and the need for freedom can work against each other, and this square is known for sudden shifts in an otherwise good relationship. The remedy is to build enough independence into the relationship that none has to be created by pulling away.

  4. Sun trine Saturn

    about 3.0° at midday

    Effort and identity feel like the same project under a Sun-Saturn trine, because Sun Myung Moon's sense of self and capacity for discipline reinforce each other. What they build tends to last, since ambition and patience are already in agreement.

  5. Sun square Mars

    about 4.5° at midday

    Impatience, or a habit of picking fights that did not need picking, can come from the clash between Sun Myung Moon's sense of self and their drive to act. With the Sun square Mars, a pause between the impulse and the action turns this friction into determination they can use.

  6. Saturn sextile Pluto

    about 4.9° at midday

    No crisis is needed to bring out Sun Myung Moon'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.
