Taro Kagawa’s birth chart
Born 9 August 1922, in Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Leo Sun · Moon in Aquarius or Pisces
Taro Kagawa’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
9 August 1922 was a Wednesday: the day Taro Kagawa was born in Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan. The Sun was in Leo, so Leo was their zodiac sign. The Moon was in Aquarius until about 08:25 and in Pisces afterwards, so the Moon sign turns on the birth time. Taro died on 6 March 1990, aged 67. StarMap has no verified birth time for Taro, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
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. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is three, three and three. Three planets stand together in Leo: Sun, Mercury and Neptune. Closest of the aspects is the conjunction between Sun and Neptune, exact to a tenth of a degree. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Uranus was retrograde. Over the course of the day the Moon went from full to waning gibbous.
StarMap's dataset holds 19 other people born on 9 August, among them Whitney Houston, Gillian Anderson and Romano Prodi.

Taro Kagawa’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Leo
about 15° Leo at midday
A Leo Sun shines. For Taro Kagawa that suggests warmth, generosity and a need to be seen for who they really are, running through much of what they do. This placement grows by learning that the light is not diminished when it is shared.
Moon sign
Aquarius or Pisces
Aquarius until about 08:25, then Pisces (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 08:25: Moon in Aquarius
An Aquarius Moon feels from a step back. Taro is likely to understand an emotion better than they inhabit it, and to need space and ideas to process. For this Moon, friends are family and freedom is security.
Born after about 08:25: Moon in Pisces
With the Moon in Pisces, Taro may well pick up the mood of a whole room. Music, water, sleep and imagination tend to restore them, and it matters whose moods they carry home. The empathy of this Moon is a gift that needs a door.
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.
Taro Kagawa’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Taro 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 9 August 1922, computed for Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan.

Taro Kagawa’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Taro Kagawa’s private life.
Purpose for Taro Kagawa is probably tied to creating and being seen doing it, and a Leo Sun's vitality rises the moment there is an audience, even an audience of one. The tension is losing steam when no one is watching. The giveaway is often the extra effort that goes into something the moment someone notices them making it.
Moon in Aquarius or Pisces
Aquarius until about 08:25, then Pisces
needs and habits
Born before about 08:25: Moon in Aquarius
An Aquarius Moon processes daily feelings by stepping back and thinking them through rather than sitting inside them, and Taro is likely to need a degree of independence built into any close relationship. The temptation is to analyse a feeling instead of simply having it. Even after a good day with people, this Moon needs time alone to recover.
Born after about 08:25: Moon in Pisces
The Moon in Pisces makes for a porous daily mood, one that picks up the emotional temperature of a room without choosing to. Quiet, music or time near water probably restores Taro more than talking things out. It can be easy for them to miss how much of what they feel belongs to someone else.
Mercury in Leo gives Taro a mind that thinks in confident, story-shaped terms and communicates with warmth and a bit of flair, drawing people in even when the subject is dry. Attachment to being right can make Taro more persuasive than accurate. A simple update, in their hands, can become something closer to a performance.
With Venus in Virgo, Taro is likely to love through small, practical acts of service and to value competence and reliability in a partner. People with this Venus tend to be hardest on those they love most, and can mistake giving notes for giving care. They may try to fix a partner's problem before simply listening to it.
Mars in Sagittarius acts boldly and wants room to move while doing it, and its anger flares fast over anything that feels like a limit on freedom. Taro may speak bluntly in the heat of the moment and smooth it over later. Given the choice, this placement walks away from a fight rather than staying to work it out.
Jupiter in Libra
14° Libra 25' at midday
growth and excess
In Taro's chart, Jupiter in Libra suggests growth through partnership and a gift for bringing people together. Excess here looks like pleasing people so broadly that every expectation becomes a commitment. Someone with this Jupiter is often the connector whose introductions and events other people benefit from more than they realise.
For Taro, 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.
Uranus in Pisces
12° Pisces 38' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Taro has Uranus in Pisces in common with a generation. That generation transforms spirituality, art and collective imagination, often blurring boundaries that earlier ones kept firm. In one person it may be noticed as an openness to ideas that resist neat categories.
Neptune in Leo
15° Leo 42' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Leo is the imagination of an age group, not of Taro 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.
Pluto in Cancer
10° Cancer 28' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Cancer dates Taro 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 Taro Kagawa’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.
Sun conjunction Neptune
about 0.0° at midday
A Sun-Neptune conjunction tends to make Taro Kagawa'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.
Mars sextile Jupiter
about 0.2° at midday
There is confident, well-aimed energy in this sextile, and not much wasted effort, since Taro's drive and optimism pull together. Taking the initiative suits Taro, above all when they commit to one goal and do not scatter their energy across several.
Mars trine Neptune
about 1.1° at midday
An inspired, almost effortless way of pursuing creative or compassionate goals belongs to Mars trine Neptune, which puts Taro's drive and imagination in step. Energy and vision arrive together, so starting a meaningful project is likely to feel far less daunting than it looks from outside.
Sun trine Mars
about 1.1° at midday
Confidence and drive move in the same direction for Taro, 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.
Jupiter sextile Neptune
about 1.3° at midday
Inspired ideas are within Taro's reach without any loss of footing, since possibility and imagination are gently linked by this sextile. The optimism is soft and workable, useful for keeping a project hopeful without letting it drift far from what is real.
Sun sextile Jupiter
about 1.3° at midday
Optimism is part of who Taro is, and it tends to show them open doors, provided they are willing to walk through. With some deliberate effort behind it, the outlook of a Sun-Jupiter sextile becomes momentum that carries past the first burst of enthusiasm.
