Analysis of Kamala Harris's astrological chart

Astrology at the Service of Character Analysis

Daily news regularly puts the spotlight on all sorts of famous people. Although we are not fond of juicy information, we inevitably have an idea about a given political figure, a movie star, a Royal Highness, or a skilled sportsman.

Those well-known faces draw our interest and seem familiar to us, because we watch their successes or their setbacks day by day.

Astrology may also be considered as an interesting filter to better define their personality, and to guess whether the events they experience are confirmed by their planets' activities. Astrology does not reveal everything, of course, but using the dominants and other peculiarities of the natal chart, we can see whether the astrological portrait matches the collective image or offers unsuspected additional nuances.

After Tim Burton and Lily-Rose Depp, here is an article about the ambitious Kamala Harris.

A Responsible and Saturnian Libra

As Joe Biden chose Kamala Harris as his running mate, he made a big political splash and a welter of publicity. The senator and attorney general of California is indeed a heavyweight with a strong personality. She is driven by a trend well-disposed toward minorities and women, for a long time kept away from power. Does Harris have a special future ahead of her? In any case, her natal chart provides very nice cards to play along.

Born with the Sun in Libra, she has only this luminary in this sign. However, the Sun is well-aspected, since he is involved in an Air Grand Trine, with the Ascendant in Gemini and Saturn in Aquarius.

It must also be underlined that the Sun is in conjunction with Mercury, who is already in Scorpio, and that Saturn too is in conjunction with the Midheaven, already in Pisces. Therefore, the Grand Trine is sliding towards the Water element. As if, in addition to intellectual and communication capacities, there is a touch of intuition and sensitivity, very much propitious for her position (whatever it is, considering the fact that anyway, her career is terrific).

Besides, Saturn near the Midheaven leaves his mark of iron on the social and professional destiny of Harris, endowing her with great rigor and a taste for hard work.

A Kite Full of Capacity for Achievement

It must be noted that the Kite is the main pattern linking those planets, for the Sun, Mercury, Saturn, the Midheaven, and the Ascendant work together under the guidance of the Moon in Aries, in sextile with these two angles (AS-MC).

It must be kept in mind that Harris was born exactly on a full Moon, a phase indicating a character needing to put things in perspective, a quality which also reminds of people having the Sun in Libra. Therefore, this peace-loving (Libra) lady desires to throw herself into battle with all the ardour of Aries.

Her biography indicates that she often demonstrated that she is enterprising and ambitious. She was born in a family of brilliant intellectuals; her mother holds a PhD in endocrinology, and her father was a professor emeritus of economics. Harris studied in French-speaking Montréal before she returned to California to learn political sciences and law.

The Kite pattern and a majority of auspicious aspects probably made things easy for her when she started off, and enabled her to do well without needing to fight too hard.

The Moon in Aries Describes Pioneers and Go-getters

Nevertheless, Harris' temperament is based on a quite turbulent Moon in Aries, because the latter is in trine with Mars in Leo. In addition to what has just been said, this prompts Harris to behave like a real Amazon.

On the one hand, she very rapidly became known for championing causes dear to her heart such as for example the defence of molested people, the better control of firearms, the dialogue with immigrants. This logically led her to go into politics with the Democratic Party.

Although the Sun is the only planet in Libra, we observe that Harris can use the assets of this sign very well. She gained a public good reputation as a progressive prosecutor who contributed to the tough policy of crime repression prevailing in California after the seventies, within both the Republicans and the Democrats.

The Chart Ruler in Scorpio Spices Up the Essence of This Communicator

It is most likely that the adaptability of the ascending sign, Gemini, has helped Harris to maneuver between the country's main political currents without eliciting criticism. Actually, today, she is feared by her contenders, as proven by Donald Trump who bluntly called her "nasty". He has every reason to beware of Senator Harris, who can be formidable, inspired, and fierce, owing to the position of the ruler of the Ascendant in Scorpio, a sign tenanted by a strong Neptune.

Neptune rules the Midheaven and belongs to a highly-energetic configuration, for it is in opposition with Jupiter and in square with Mars. Moreover, the three planets are tied up by a T-Square. Harris never renounced her ideals, but she may bite off more than she can chew. However, Neptune can rely on the support of the group of three planets in conjunction in Virgo, namely, Uranus, Pluto, and Venus.

Venus in the Company of Explosive Planets Predisposes to Agitated Love Life

The private life area may be quite turbulent and has probably been relegated to the back seat compared to her social ambitions. Indeed, Venus, who stands for emotional life in a chart, is attached to two collective planets and may have brought about more intense and uncontrolled passions than the average.

For instance, we know that Harris had a first affair with Willie Brown, a famous political figure, who helped her in her career and recently supported her in politics. They had to split when he became the Mayor of San Francisco so as to silence attacks.

In 2020, Harris is undergoing the weighty influence of three powerful planets in Capricorn assailing simultaneously the natal Sun and the natal Moon with a square. The aspect is harmful and demands staunch endurance.

Fortunately for Harris, because her chart is balanced, the three planets in Virgo contribute to reinforcing her mental energy, while natal Jupiter benefits from a trine aspect with the previously mentioned trio in Capricorn. She receives a blend of tricky and positive aspects, which undoubtedly suits a period of her life rich in challenges.

By November we shall know whether or not she will be sharing the victory of Joe Biden. But in any event, we are prepared to bet that she will be among the outstanding personages to be watched in the upcoming years.
