Meet Kenji Takahoshi. A spicy, passionate man with a hardcore work ethic and a crucial position! We meet and learn of him in book one, but we get to know him a lot better in book 2. ❤️‍🔥

Kenji’s last name should be familiar to you if you have been following these blog posts and reading Hunting the Empress.

Let’s take a look into who he is by examining his natal chart…

Kenji Takahoshi

Birthplace: Kyoto, Japan

Born on the 13th of April.

First off, look at the date of birth, his sun sign, and his rising sign. Now compare this with our Erik’s here, and you will notice something important! This is no mistake and was meant to be. If you want to learn WHY this is so important, then make sure to read the book!

Check out his planetary, sign and modality rankings… WOW!

This man is a warrior who can talk a really good game! He has a complicated relationship with a specific relative, which is no wonder why! They have several similarities, which can bring competitiveness for sure.

As we see, Kenji has his sun and moon in Aries in the 6th house. The sun and moon are conjunct, indicating he was born during a new moon, which is so appropriate for his sign! Aries relates to new beginnings and rebirth. These two luminaries conjunct in the sixth house can indicate someone who is a real workaholic, and Kenji certainly is! Health and fitness will also be essential to him, which is evident! These placements can also indicate a wealthy status in society. It also shows he will have power and position in the workplace (ain’t that the truth! LOL). People listen to whatever he says. Careers like politics and related professions have a huge draw for him. He is very successful and has the clout to back it up. Wherever Kenji focuses his energies, success follows. When it comes to competitions in life or promotions, you will find him the victor.

And speaking of being the victor…Kenji consistently achieves victory over his enemies and always shrugs off the haters. How does he do this? Because he knows how to influence them and understands their tricks and acts before they plan something against him. He is very slick and shrewd this way.

And speaking of understanding tricks and being able to read people, let’s look at his Venus, which is in the 8th house! This placement indicates a significantly evolved Venus and represents a well-developed ability to read others. It means he is good at understanding hidden motives, especially when it comes to matters of the heart.

This placement also indicates he has a distinctive, complex, and mysterious persona. He will exude a natural charisma, charm, and grace that attracts attention from the opposite sex. He can also be a possessive lover. His Venus in the 8th also shows he is a bit of a chameleon and can assume any camouflage. (Hmmmm…we will see more on this later!) Kenji is the epitome of the crowning achievement of evolution, an intellectual and idealist who transcends his desires to achieve more profound meaning in life. His Venus in 8th shows he has a powerful artistic side and an innate ability to express grand ideas in practical form, which can involve finances, material goods, or relationships that are not considered “normal.” He is a charming, easy-going man who seems very relaxed when he expresses his love. He’s not afraid to say, ‘I’m in love with you,’ but he’s too sly to tell this to your face until he feels the time is right.

Kenji is never short of admirers. He is a nice guy and very romantic, considering Venus is in his 8th house, which is the house of sex. Women are often very attracted to him and even fall for him.

It is interesting to note that men with this Venus placement focus more on self-love and self-confidence. They are likely to use their charm to get what they want and have success doing so. They are also very attractive and downright beautiful, not only are they good-looking but also confident in their appearance. Kenji definitely knows he’s hot. LOL

The 8th house is a favorable location for Venus because it is associated with luxury, sensuality, power over others, and valuable resources. People with an 8th house Venus are often wealthy and want to enjoy it. They are also very attracted to money and power, which is so clearly Kenji’s M.O. (We have more than one character now with this placement if you have been paying attention!) Kenji’s Venus placement shows that he likes to display his riches and be lavish when spending money on others.

Venus in 8th house shows that Kenji wants affection, intimacy, and union with another, and achieving it is worth any price; He is more than happy to pay the price that love demands. He will find it difficult to accept anything less than true love.

Regarding planetary ranking, Mercury is his dominant planet, followed very closely by Mars and Pluto. His most dominant sign is Aries, again followed very closely by Scorpio and then Gemini. His dominant element is Air, and his modes are very balanced, yet Cardinal is the strongest.

Kenji is a Scorpio rising, which means he appears to the world as a Scorpio. This is how people view him.

His MC is in Leo in the 10th house! WOW! This guy is all that and then some! As a Leo MC native, he is renowned as charismatic, elegant, dramatic, and ambitious, which is why others are attracted to him. His greatest assets are his creativity, optimism, and courage when it comes to his professional journey. When he is expressing the good side of Leo, he is extremely generous, warm, and inspiring. He is a very charismatic leader who embodies optimism and has a zeal for life. However, if he uses the shadow side of this sign, he might be seen as domineering, vain, and egocentric.

The rulers of Kenji’s chart are located in the 8th and 12th houses, both water sign houses. Luckily, he was raised to bring out the positive sides of these placements instead of the shadow sides, which can be VERY intense if not utilized correctly.

That said, please realize that just because you have a challenging placement, DOES NOT mean you are doomed! Just learn about this energy, then utilize it for your benefit! WORK WITH IT, and do not run from it, like our Kenji!

This is just scratching the surface of who Kenji is. To learn more and get to know him, keep reading Hunting The Empress and the books that follow in The Sovereign of the Stars series!
