Akira Toriyama’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he was

   ☉Sun in Aries, the Pioneer

   Built to begin. Says yes before the plan is finished and gets everyone else moving. He reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.

   The Sun square Jupiter (wide at 5.9°)

2. What he needed

   ☽Moon in Virgo, the Mender

   Shows feeling in practical ways: a fixed problem, a remembered detail, a cup of tea at the right time. Steady feelings: he kept calm under strain, and he loved in ways that lasted.

   The Moon sextile Saturn (almost exact at 0.6°)

3. How he loved

   ♀Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart

   Loves selflessly and romantically. Sees the best in people and gives without counting.

4. How he thought

   ☿Mercury in Pisces, the Poet

   An intuitive, imaginative mind. Thinks in images and picks up what is left unsaid. Meaning came to him before the words did, and clear speech followed the feeling.

   Mercury quincunx Neptune (almost exact at 0.1°)

5. What drove him

   ♂Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

   Slow to start and impossible to stop. He worked steadily, built things to last and did not give up under pressure. His drive and his imagination spoke different languages: he went after something before he could say what it was.

   Mars quincunx Neptune (close at 1.2°)

6. The shape of his chart

   Neptune is the hub of his chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so his imagination touched everything else in it. Most of his planets are in water signs: feeling and intuition.
