Akira Kurosawa's Birth Chart
Sun in Aries · Moon in Virgo ≈
Akira Kurosawa was a Japanese filmmaker who directed 30 feature films in a career spanning six decades. With a bold and dynamic style strongly influenced by Western cinema yet distinct from it, he is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential filmmakers in the history of cinema. Known as a hands-on filmmaker, he was heavily involved with all aspects of production as a director, writer, producer, and editor. Wikipedia
Section I · The core
The two luminaries
Two lights set the tone of the whole chart: the Sun, the identity; the Moon, the emotional world.
Akira Kurosawa's Sun, in Aries
Your identity ignites when you begin and open the way: you need causes, challenges and the freedom to go first in order to discover who you are through action.
Akira Kurosawa's Moon, in Virgo
You settle by ordering: your emotions are tended with kind routines and useful gestures, not with high drama. You heal what you feel when you give it a practical form, analysing and caring for the details of daily life.
Without an exact birth time, the Moon could fall in the neighbouring sign: it changed sign that day.
Section II · The map
Their natal wheel
The sky on the day they were born. The outer ring is the twelve signs; the lines across the centre, the aspects between planets. Without a birth time, houses and the Ascendant aren't drawn.
Section III · The detail
Planets and aspects
The exact numbers behind the drawing. Each table expands one layer of the wheel.
Akira Kurosawa's placements

Akira Kurosawa's aspects
Each aspect is an angle between two planets; it defines how they speak to each other. Aspects to the Moon are approximate: they depend on the exact birth time.
Elements and modalities
How their energy is split across the four elements and the three modalities.
Section IV · The signature
The signature of their sky
The whole at a glance: how the planets are spread, and the accents that set the overall tone of the chart.
Locomotive
They cover two thirds of the sky, leaving one third empty: a constant drive toward that gap.
Their energy concentrates in the element of Air and the Cardinal modality.
Pluto is the most connected planet in their chart: 6 aspects tie it to the rest.
Their chart forms no major pattern (grand trine, T-square, grand cross or stellium).
