Tarō Asō’s birth chart
Born 20 September 1940, in Iizuka, Japan. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Virgo Sun · Moon in Aries or Taurus
Tarō Asō’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Tarō Asō was born on Friday, 20 September 1940, in Iizuka, Japan. The Sun was in Virgo, so Virgo is their zodiac sign. The Moon left Aries for Taurus at about 01:45 local time, which leaves the Moon sign open without a birth time. Tarō turns 86 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 six earth, two fire, one air and no water, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. Fixed signs hold five, mutable signs three and cardinal signs one. Virgo holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Sun, Mars and Neptune. Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus all fall in Taurus. They are slow planets, so the grouping is shared with people born around the same time. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Uranus and Neptune: a trine, about 0.7° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus were retrograde. The Moon was waning gibbous, between full and last quarter.
StarMap's dataset holds ten other people born on 20 September, among them Sophia Loren, George R. R. Martin and Julian Draxler.

Tarō Asō’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Virgo
about 26° Virgo at midday
A Virgo Sun refines. Tarō Asō is likely to notice what could be better and quietly make it so, keeping the highest standards for themselves. The art of this placement is knowing when good enough is the wiser choice.
Moon sign
Aries or Taurus
Aries until about 01:45, then Taurus (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 01:45: Moon in Aries
With the Moon in Aries, Tarō 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 01:45: 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 Tarō, 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 Iizuka, Japan, at each hour of the day.
Tarō Asō’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Tarō 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 20 September 1940, computed for Iizuka, Japan.

Tarō Asō’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Tarō Asō’s private life.
A Virgo Sun finds purpose in being useful and doing a job properly, and Tarō Asō's energy tends to stay steady as long as there is a task worth doing well. Rest is the hard part, because it can feel undeserved until everything is fixed. Typically a piece of work is still being adjusted long after everyone else would call it finished.

Aries until about 01:45, then Taurus
needs and habits
Born before about 01:45: 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 Tarō, 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 01:45: 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 Tarō more than they let on. A good bed, a favourite mug or the same coffee order can turn an unsteady morning around.
Mercury in Libra thinks by weighing both sides, and Tarō tends to communicate diplomatically, often finding the version of an idea that will land well with whoever is listening. Settling on an opinion can take so long that the moment for it passes. They may change their mind in the middle of a conversation because the other point had merit.
Venus in Leo loves generously and openly, and values being someone's clear favourite above almost anything else on offer. For Tarō, the tension this suggests is needing steady reassurance of still being adored. Their gestures tend to be grand and thoughtful, and it can sting when those go unnoticed.
Mars in Virgo acts carefully and precisely, preferring to get a task right over getting it done fast, and its anger usually comes from things being done sloppily. When upset, Tarō is more likely to criticise than to confront. A clipped tone often signals frustration well before anything is said directly.
Jupiter in Taurus
15° Taurus 16' at midday ℞
growth and excess
In Tarō'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.
Saturn in Taurus gathers its discipline around security and the things a person relies on, and Tarō 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.
Uranus in Taurus
25° Taurus 59' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Uranus in Taurus is a generational placement that Tarō shares with many people born within a few years. That generation rethinks ownership, land and what security means, often through technology that unsettles older arrangements. Personally, that may be a reluctance to prize things simply because an older generation did.
Neptune in Virgo
25° Virgo 18' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune moves slowly, so Tarō shares its place in Virgo with people born years either side. The imagination of this generation turns towards service, craft and idealised routines of self-improvement. In one life it can mean chasing an impossibly perfect daily practice.
Pluto in Leo
3° Leo 53' 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 Tarō, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in Tarō Asō’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.
Jupiter conjunction Saturn
about 1.0° at midday
Growth and discipline are unusually well matched when Jupiter is conjunct Saturn, so Tarō Asō's optimism tends to come with a realistic plan attached. It is an effective combination for building things that last, with vision balanced by the patience to see it through.
Sun trine Uranus
about 1.0° at midday
Being original feels easy rather than effortful with this aspect, because Tarō's sense of self and need for freedom sit comfortably together. They are likely to gravitate towards places that let them be exactly who they are without much friction.
Sun conjunction Neptune
about 1.7° at midday
A Sun-Neptune conjunction tends to make Tarō's sense of self porous and imaginative, drawn towards ideals, art or causes bigger than everyday life. Compassion and creativity come with it, and so does the task of keeping a clear enough sense of who they are underneath the dream.
Mercury sextile Venus
about 2.2° at midday
Thinking and affection are easy companions in Tarō'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.
Venus square Saturn
about 2.6° at midday
Venus square Saturn can pair the desire for closeness with a fear of not being quite enough to keep it. For Tarō that may mean self-doubt in relationships that have given no reason for it, and the fear can ease each time they let themselves be loved without first having to deserve it.
Venus square Jupiter
about 3.6° at midday
Under this square, Tarō's generosity can run past what is sustainable, whether in time, affection or promises made in a warm moment. The warmth is sincere; the work is matching it to a scale that can be kept up over the months that follow the excitement, not only the first one.
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.
