When Is Kamala Harris’ Birthday?
Kamala Harris’ birthday is October 20.
Kamala Harris’ Sun Sign Is In Fair-Minded Libra
•The Sun represents the essence of your personality, your main character energy•
Kamala Harris’ astrological sign is Libra. She was born on October 20, 1964, in Oakland, California.
Libra is an airy cardinal sign that rules peace, relationships and harmony. As the sign that falls in the middle of the zodiac, Libra strives for the elusive, “perfect” balance. Ruled by the planet Venus, Libras are known for their charm, talent and pleasant demeanor.
Social by nature, they embody natural partners who love to support their favorite people (and vice versa—her partner, second gentleman Doug Emhoff, is a steady fixture on the political scene, credited with filming Harris’ viral 2020 election video “We did it, Joe”—a very Libra-esque thing to say on her part).
Symbolized by the scales of justice, Libra and legal matters go hand-in-hand (hello, Attorney General!). Throw in Libra’s ability to maneuver ideological debates and its mastery of social networks, and you’ve got yourself a savvy politician who understands which levers to pull to advance social agendas.
Harris previously wrote about her “controversial” decision to pursue a career as a prosecutor, noting in her memoir The Truths We Hold that “America has a deep and dark history of people using the power of the prosecutor as an instrument of injustice . . . but I also knew that what was wrong with the system didn’t need to be an immutable fact. And I wanted to be a part of changing that.” As a cardinal sign, Libra is generally motivated to initiate change, especially in the name of the people or causes they care about.
Kamala Harris’ Moon Is In Fiery Aries
•Your moon sign governs the “inner you” and influences your emotions•
Kamala Harris isn’t your typical Libra Sun, she has a bold Aries moon as well, making her a full moon baby. Those born under the full moon phase tend to be ambitious with a strong craving and passion for the spotlight—an innate urge to leave a mark on this world.
As an Aries moon, Harris is a fearless leader. She is the first woman, first Black American AND first South Asian American to be elected Vice President. She is known for venturing into uncharted territory throughout her career to make things happen for herself.
With Harris’ Sun and moon forming a 180-degree opposition to each other, there is an added emphasis on polarity and balancing opposite viewpoints in her life. One thing’s for sure, Harris possesses an innate ability to tolerate ambiguity and paradox—nothing is ever black-and-white.
Relationship and familial matters can also be complicated under this moon phase, serving up a sense of “damned if I do and damned if I don’t.” Harris has faced racist and misogynistic remarks since being tapped as the Democratic Presidential nominee—cue the childless cat lady memes and misunderstanding of her mixed-race identity.
@msnbc Vice President Kamala Harris dropped an f-bomb as she advocated for young people to press for equality and economic opportunities at an #AAPI event in Washington, D.C. on Monday. "Sometimes people will open the door for you and leave it open," she said. "Sometimes they won't. And then you need to kick that f***ing door down." #politicaltiktok #politicstiktok #politics #newstiktok #news #aapiheritagemonth #kamalaharris ♬ original sound – MSNBC
Kamala Harris’ Rising Sign Is Trendy Gemini
•Your rising sign, or ascendant, is the first impression you make. Like a filter, it “tints” your Sun sign•
Kamala Harris is a Gemini Rising.
Gemini risings are social creatures who like being in the know—data collectors who thrive off information exchange and intellectual stimulation; their antenna is constantly up for the next great idea.
Gemini risings tend to embody a youthful disposition, too; they often look younger than their age and like to be surrounded by diverse viewpoints and generations (Gemini risings’ mutability allows them to flit in and out of various social circles).
Is there any wonder that Kamala is #brat? Alternative pop queen Charli XCX bestowed the title of Summer 2024’s definitive lifestyle trend onto the presidential nominee, kicking the femininomenon into overdrive. Harris’ campaign has embraced the #brat attitude and has leaned into neon green and type font aesthetic since in hopes of connecting with younger voters.
Of course, Harris has contributed her fair share of wisdom and content to the viral social media lexicon. She didn’t just fall out of a coconut tree, y’know? She exists in the context of all that she lives and what came before her.
kamala IS brat

Kamala Harris’ Chart Ruler Points To Talented Strategist
•Your chart ruler is the planet that rules over your rising sign•
As a Gemini Rising, Kamala Harris’ chart is ruled by her intense Mercury in Scorpio. A chart ruler acts like the personal avatar in your personal House of Cards. With Mercury in Scorpio driving her chart, she assumes the form of an inquisitive lie detector and a shrewd negotiator. This is evidenced in her Senate hearing line of questioning involving then-Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh.
Mercury in Scorpio is a talented strategist with an eye for the details. It also has a reputation for being incredibly tight-lipped and private—not the most straightforward nor easily understood placement. Harris has to navigate tricky political terrain with a complicated track record as a “progressive prosecutor.”
Love Astrology of Kamala Harris
•Venus and Mars are the love planets in astrology. In your birth chart, Venus represents seduction and romance while Mars represents lust, motivation and erotic instincts.
Mars and Venus in Kamala Harris’ natal chart are situated next to each other in the zodiac, reflecting tension as one placement acts as a corrective force for the other. She has Mars in Leo and Venus in Virgo—a push-and-pull between self-assertion and her inclination to serve others.
With her fiery Mars in Leo, Harris is daring and courageous—especially concerning matters of the heart (she was set up with her now husband Doug Emhoff on a blind date by a mutual friend!). Mars in Leo types are affectionate and friendly, always down for a fun night on the town or a good karaoke moment. As a Mars in Leo, her loyalty is unmatched; she is a regal lioness who protects her pride.
On the other hand, Harris has sweet Venus in meticulous Virgo. She’s an inherent pragmatist who appreciates practical acts of service as a love language. Grounded, reliable and thoughtful, she is a supportive caretaker who looks to grow with a partner. At a low vibration, Venus in Virgo types can be overly analytical, critical, and particular—they have high standards and refuse to settle for less!
Kamala Harris’ South Node Is In Visionary Sagittarius
•Astrologers use the nodes of the moon (found opposite each other in your birth chart) to determine where your destiny lies (North node) and what you were in past lifetimes (South node).
Kamala Harris has her South Node (past-life karma) in Sagittarius and her North Node (destiny) in Gemini. Her Sagittarius South Node is in her partnership-oriented seventh house and her Gemini North Node is in his self-focused first house.
Since her Sagittarius south node is located in her seventh house of social contracts and balance (Libra naturally rules the seventh house), Harris is here to understand which alliances appeal to her judgmental tendencies, and which relationships can help empower her ideas through polarity. Her Sagittarius south node offers her an innate awareness of ethics and morality, however, her challenge lies in bridging the gap with the people around her. She could inadvertently come across as combative as she battles her fears of not being understood.
With her destiny in Gemini, Harris is here to develop a healthy curiosity by seeing both sides of a situation. She’s learning to use a non-threatening approach when expressing her ideas while being open to new experiences, moving away from self-righteous tendencies and a need to be right at all costs. She is ultimately here to work through her communication roadblocks, understanding that it’s not so much the ideological nature being questioned, but rather, the presentation of how the information or defense is being relayed.
Kamala Harris and Tim Walz’s Astrological Compatibility
Kamala Harris shares compelling synastry with Democratic Vice Presidential Nominee Tim Walz.
For starters, Walz’s Aries Sun is a natural complement to Harris’ Libra Sun. Aries and Libra are a pair of “sister-signs”—zodiac signs that occupy exact 180-degree opposite positions on the wheel. It’s very much “opposites attract” energy intended to foster a healthy compromise. In the case of Walz and Harris, both can help each other navigate the tension between people-pleasing and self-assertion.
Harris also has an Aries Moon, lining up with Walz’s Aries Sun. The Sun-Moon conjunction typically forms one of the sweetest synastry points in astrology. Since the Sun describes the outer world and the moon rules the inner vision, there’s a sense of comfortable understanding between the two and the potential for action to manifest more expeditiously.
While it might be easy to get caught in perpetual alignment, their Aries-Libra Sun opposition can help provide a healthy polarity and counterpoint. They both have sister-sign Mercuries as well—Harris’ in secretive Scorpio and Walz’s in straightforward Taurus—that can help offer the right balance between letting go and digging in deep.
Walz’s Jupiter is also right on top of Harris’ Aries moon and forms a harmonious 120-degree trine to her regal Mars in Leo—he’s a natural confidence boost for Harris, a trustworthy “general” in her election battle who can keep her spirits up and match her inherent energetic force.
From a Chinese zodiac perspective, Walz and Harris are both Wood Dragons (born in 1964). And since 2024 is their Chinese zodiac year (a once-in-60-year phenomenon), it’s a particularly auspicious time for a double-dragon democratic ticket.
