for the sake of this analysis, i will use the chart from january 9th, not only because it fits with what i had in mind (to my surprise) but because:

i don't think he has the sun in sagittarius, bc archetypally, sagittarius seeks truth and philosophical justice. and, while higuruma does seek truth, his approach is much more pragmatic and technical (procedural) than expansive or idealistic, as a sagittarius would be. sagittarius is generally more optimistic; higuruma has a much more solemn and grounded air.

i think he has some libra influence, but not like this bc this moon seeks balance and harmony. it would fit with his profession as a lawyer, but the moon in libra usually avoids direct conflict or harsh confrontation; they are quite passive. and higuruma, on the other hand, delves into the darkness of judgment and accepts the ugliness of human nature very directly.

so yeah… higuruma is a capricorn sun with a cancer moon. i took the liberty of assigning a birth time to analyze the houses and the ascendant. this is the full chart:

1st house:

asc in libra: the ascendant (AC) represents our persona and how we navigate the world. with a libra rising, higuruma is the personification of the scales, which makes sense given how much scales imagery we see in his appearances.

he presents himself as composed, articulate, and civil. even in a death match, he wears a suit. he values the decorum of the law.

because libra is ruled by venus, higuruma possesses a natural grace. this explains his "non-sorcerer" vibe, the tailored suit, the calm cadence of his voice, and his preference for a courtroom setting over a battlefield. he represents the civilized man forced into a savage world. even his weapon, a gavel that transforms, is a tool of order, not a blade of chaos if you know what i mean

we all know that the symbol of libra is the scales, the only inanimate object in the zodiac, and this is crucial for higuruma's character. he tries so hard to be like the scales: cold, metal and objective. he wants to be a tool of the law. but he fails…

since his chart ruler (venus) is in aquarius, he is a rebel with a cause. he doesn't just follow the law; he interrogates it, he challenges it. he is a lonely figure because he stands at the intersection of a system that failed (capricorn/saturn) and a future that doesn't exist yet (aquarius/uranus). this is where higuruma's character transcends being "just a lawyer" and becomes a tragic, visionary figure. in astrology, the transition from capricorn to aquarius represents the shift from the old guard (tradition, status quo, rigid laws) to the new age (revolution, collective truth, radical change).

mars in libra: this is a position where energy, action, and assertiveness (mars) are tempered by diplomacy, balance, and a search for harmony (libra). people with this configuration are negotiators, peaceful, and prefer justice over force. for higuruma, his martian spirit is filtered through the lens of equity.

higuruma doesn't use a cursed tool designed for slaughter; he uses a gavel. this is the ultimate mars in libra symbol. it's a tool of authority used to enforce a verdict. he doesn't strike to wound; he strikes to correct. and his entire fighting style is a procedural argument, he uses his domain, deadly sentencing, to strip his opponent of their cursed techniques before engaging. this is the libra influence 100%, leveling the playing field so that the judgment is fair.

mars in libra often struggles with direct confrontation unless they have a moral high ground to stand on. hiromi is remarkably passive until the sentence is passed. he sits, he listens, and he judges. but once the verdict is guilty, his mars switches on with a cold efficiency let me explain:

it's not i want to hurt you, it's the law dictates that you must be punished. this detachment makes him one of the most dangerous characters imo because he doesn't have the "ego" or "bloodlust" that usually leads to mistakes yk

having mars in the 1st house means his physical body is a weapon (in astrology, the 1st house represents the physical body, the self, and the vital energy. it is the "container" of the soul. when a planet is placed there, its energy isn't just something you do, it is something you are, so to speak). but because it's in libra, he carries himself with a "heavy" elegance. i.e:

his gavel isn't just an object, it grows and shrinks as if it were an extension of his own arm

when he gains the executioner's sword, it is a literal weaponization of his presence. he doesn't just hold the sword, his entire being radiates the intent to "terminate" the guilty

people with mars in the 1st house often have a "sharp" or intimidating physical presence. even if they are sitting still, they look like they are ready to spring into action lol let's think of how higuruma stands: rigid, poised and alert. also mars here gives a piercing look.

there is a simmering anger in higuruma (the anger he felt when he saw the system fail), but mars in libra prevents him from being a berserker, in a sense. instead, he funnels that rage into intellectual violence. he will destroy your life, your technique, and your soul, all while maintaining a perfect poker face i love him so much

saturn in libra: this is where i want to delve deeper. saturn in libra represents the ideal of the law. it's about structure and equilibrium.

higuruma doesn't just want kindness, he wants fairness. saturn here gives him an incredibly high bar for what constitutes a "just" society.

because saturn is in his 1st house (identity), his boundaries are turned inward: he carries the "gravity" of the legal system in his bones and he doesn't just represent the law; he feels like he is the law, and therefore, he is responsible for its failures.

saturn here acts like a 24/7 internal judge. before judgeman ever appears in his domain, higuruma has already put himself on trial. he is obsessed with his own mistakes, like failing to save a client or the "impurity" of his own soul after killing.

physical rigidity: saturn also rules the bones and the structure. this is why higuruma has such a stiff, formal posture. he is literally holding himself together under the pressure of his own ethics.

here we have a very important aspect: saturn square sun. in astrology, a square aspect creates friction, tension and a constant need for action. when saturn (the taskmaster) squares the sun (the core identity), it creates a life defined by a struggle against a great weight. in higuruma's case, with the sun in capricorn and saturn in libra, this is a double-saturnian tension, since saturn rules capricorn. it's like the ultimate depressive realist aspect lmao

the sun is who you are; saturn is what you must do. when they square each other, the person often feels that their very existence is tied to their productivity or their moral record.

higuruma likely grew up feeling he had to earn his place through excellence. this square creates an "internal prosecutor" that never sleeps. no matter how many cases he wins, saturn whispers that it isn't enough because the system is still broken.

father/authority figures: fun fact! often, this aspect points to a complicated relationship with authority lol for higuruma, the law is the "father figure" that failed him. he dedicated his life to it (sun in capricorn), only to have it crush his spirit (saturn square).

in this chart, saturn is in the 1st house (the self/the body) and the sun is in the 4th house (the private soul/roots/family). this square (sun-saturn) means his "private peace" (4th house) is constantly interrupted by his "sense of duty" (1st house). he can't just go home and relax. his work (saturn) follows him into his most private spaces.

also that iconic and incredibly sexy scene of him in the bathtub in a suit? that is sun square saturn for you, bc it's the visual representation of a man who cannot strip off his responsibilities even when he's trying to be off the clock. he is literally submerged in his own heavy sun/saturn tension. my poor man, i wanna hug him :(

sun square saturn people often feel like life is a series of obstacles. however, it also grants immense endurance, of course. higuruma didn't become a sorcerer because he wanted power; he became one because he reached a saturnian breaking point. the square forced him to evolve. this aspect often requires a great sacrifice: for him, he sacrificed his career, his reputation, and eventually his humanity to find a truth that was higher than the courtroom.

here is another important aspect: saturn conjunction pluto. in astrology, a conjunction fuses two energies together so tightly they become inseparable. when you combine saturn (structure, law, karma) with pluto (death, rebirth, power) in the 1st house, you get a person who is a walking "point of no return", so to speak.

basically, saturn builds walls and pluto blows them up. when they are together, it creates a cycle of total destruction followed by rigid reconstruction.

for higuruma, this conjunction represents his transition from a lawyer to a sorcerer. he didn't just "change jobs", he burned his old life to the ground (pluto) and built a new, lethal identity on the ashes (saturn). we can also say that the executioner's sword is the most literal manifestation of saturn-pluto. it's a tool of absolute law (saturn) that carries instant death (pluto)

since pluto rules the underworld, the secrets and the filth humanity hides and saturn rules responsibility:

seeing the rot: higuruma can't look at a person or a system without seeing the decay underneath. while others can ignore a corrupt judge or a guilty client, he can't. higuruma's saturn-pluto conjunction forces him to look directly into the abyss.

this is why his domain expansion doesn't just judge crimes, it judges truth, it judges everything. pluto gives him the power to strip away the "mask" (libra rising) to see the "sin" (pluto), while saturn provides the "sentence".

having this conjunction in the 1st house (the physical body/identity) makes hiromi an incredibly intimidating presence. people with this aspect often feel heavy to be around, like if they have a gravity that commands silence. we see that when higuruma enters the scene, the playful energy of a battle stops, almost as if he brings the reality of consequence.

also this aspect makes him almost impossible to break mentally. he has already faced his own death (the collapse of his ideals). once you've survived the worst version of yourself, there is nothing a curse or a sorcerer can do to scare you yk that's why i agree with people when they compare him to suguru

i'll leave it here for now because i've been rambling for way too long (sorry!). let me know if you want me to keep going with the other aspects of his chart/persona. there's still so much to say about him ( ദ്ദി ˙ᗜ˙ ) kisses!! luz
