Sun Yat-sen is a politician, physician, philosopher (Taiwan).
Sun Yat-sen (; 12 November 1866 – 12 March 1925) was a Chinese physician, revolutionary, statesman, and political philosopher who founded the Republic of China (ROC) and its first political party, the Kuomintang (KMT). As the paramount leader of the 1911 Revolution, Sun is credited with overthrowing the Qing imperial dynasty and served as the first president of the Provisional Government of the Republic of China (1912) and as the inaugural leader of the Kuomintang. Born to a peasant family in Guangdong, Sun was educated overseas in Hawaii and returned to China to graduate from medical school in Hong Kong. He led underground anti-Qing revolutionaries in South China, the United Kingdom, and Japan as one of the Four Bandits and rose to prominence as the founder of multiple resistance movements, including the Revive China Society and the Tongmenghui.

Birth details come from a published reference (source: 765 Notable Horoscopes) and have not been checked against a birth record, so the Moon sign is usually right but the Ascendant could differ.
Computed with Swiss Ephemeris (Lahiri ayanamsa).
Our library holds 385 politicians with a computed Vedic chart from reliable birth data. 34 of them (9%) have the Moon in Sagittarius, like Sun Yat-sen, and 22 (6%) share the Purva Ashadha Nakshatra — the #2 most common Moon Nakshatra among politicians, where Uttara Bhadrapada leads with 25 (6%).
For scale, an even spread would put about 3.7% in each of the 27 Nakshatras and 8.3% in each Moon sign. These are simple counts from our dataset, not a prediction.
