Kamala Harris's Birth Chart

Rankings scale each feature's fixed weight by its scarcity among 1960s charts. After the two falls come Mercury combust (about one chart in 4), the Moon in its waxing gibbous phase (about one chart in 8), the Sun–Moon opposition (about one chart in 19, least common of the eight), Saturn at home in Aquarius (about 45%), the seesaw shape (about 37%) and Saturn as Lord of the Geniture (about one chart in 6).

Sunset came at 6:24 PM, and by the recorded minute the Sun was 36°42′ beneath Oakland's horizon. That classes the chart as nocturnal in sect terms and seats the Moon, Venus and Mars in the favored camp. By the classical dignities the Sun is weak twice over, sitting in its fall and ruled by a fallen Venus.

Saturn, exalted in Libra by the same tables, is the mirror case: retrograde in its own sign, trine the Sun within 0°39′, first in the strength table and Lord of the Geniture, the planet medieval authors chose to govern a nativity. Mercury, the chart ruler, is fast but combust, 3°39′ from the Sun.

No source checked for this page gives another hour. David DeBolt's article of August 18, 2020 posted the two-page copy, now behind a browser check, so this record leans on the article and on Wikidata, which ties 9:28 PM to the certificate's state file number. Pacific Daylight Time ran until October 25, 1964, putting Oakland at UTC−7; the chart is cast for 04:28 UTC on October 21, 1964.

The single aspect figure uses three fixed signs: Mars at 21°17′ Leo opposes Saturn at 28°27′ Aquarius from a loose 7°09′, and retrograde Jupiter at 24°00′ Taurus squares both. Authors on this figure often call the apex planet the release valve for the two opposed ones; here that is Jupiter, last in the strength table.

The Ascendant, at 24°26′ Gemini, gained a degree every 4.2 minutes. The North Node, 0°03′ inside the 1st house, would pass into the 12th house with a birth less than a minute later; Neptune would fall back to the 5th house 4 minutes later, and Saturn would climb into the 10th house 16 minutes earlier.

The Moon, at 27°39′ Aries in the 11th house, was in Aries from October 18 to October 21, so its sign stays put whatever the hour on October 20; its phase counts as waxing gibbous only because it was 0°09′ short of full. No planet is out of bounds, and Pluto's declination, 18°23′ north, is the widest.

Saturn makes the next two closest contacts, trine the Sun and sextile the Moon, both within 0°48′. Classical doctrine makes Aries the Sun's exaltation and Libra its fall, so the lights face each other across that very axis.

Two empty arcs, the wider 101°37′, split the planets into Marc Edmund Jones's seesaw. The second quadrant holds six planets, Venus, Uranus and Pluto among them in Virgo in the 4th house; with both angles counted, earth leads the elements on four placements and fire trails on two.

Springsteen's chart is the closest among the databank's pages, sharing both signs. Lata Mangeshkar, John Lennon and Mahatma Gandhi match on the Sun sign alone; the score compares placements, not lives.

With Lahiri's correction of 23°21′ taken off, Harris's Sun, Moon and Ascendant keep their tropical signs, and Jyotish also calls Libra the Sun's debilitation. Venus slides back to 24°32′ Leo, clear of its fall, while Mars lands at 27°56′ Cancer, almost on the degree Vedic texts give for its deepest debilitation.

Saturn first regained 28°27′ Aquarius on April 22, 1993, recrossed it while retrograde and made its final crossing on January 15, 1994; a single pass on February 22, 2023 made up the second return. Jupiter has come home five times, most recently on April 30, 2024.

Positions come from precise astronomical calculations for the hospital campus at 37°49′ N, 122°15′ W, with Placidus cusps, checked against the site's chart service. Rates compare this chart with simulated 1960s births at random hours and places, adjusted to Oakland's latitude band for hour-dependent features.
