Haruki Murakami’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he is

   ☉Sun in Capricorn, the Architect

   Serious, capable and ambitious. Builds a life step by step, and gets more playful and lighter with age. The self he knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and he works to keep hold of the real one.

   The Sun square Neptune (wide at 6.4°)

2. What he needs

   ☽Moon in Gemini, the Talker

   Feels better after talking it through. Needs conversation, variety and something interesting to think about. He picks up what others feel before a word is said, and his compassion reaches far.

   The Moon trine Neptune (exact at 0.0°)

3. How he loves

   ♀Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer

   Loves openly and with good humour. Needs freedom, honesty and someone to explore the world with. Love comes in sudden starts and stops: he falls for people quickly and needs room just as quickly.

   Venus opposition Uranus (almost exact at 0.8°)

4. How he thinks

   ☿Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor

   Original and future-minded. Thinks in systems and finds new ways to do old things. He thinks fast and speaks faster: his mind likes a contest, and his words have an edge.

   Mercury conjunction Mars (close at 3.0°)

5. What drives him

   ♂Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel

   Driven by ideas and fairness. Fights for change and does things differently. When to push and when to wait takes constant judging, and he learns timing the hard way.

   Mars quincunx Saturn (almost exact at 0.2°)

6. The shape of his chart

   Neptune is the hub of his chart: it takes part in four of its aspects, more than any other body, so his imagination touches everything else in it. No water at all, so feelings come out in actions more than in words.
