When Is Tim Walz’s Birthday?
Tim Walz’s birthday is April 6.
Tim Walz’s Sun Sign Is In Heroic Aries
•The Sun represents the essence of your personality, your main character energy•
Tim Walz’s astrological sign is Aries. He was born on April 6, 1964, in West Point, Nebraska.
As an Aries Sun, Walz embodies the qualities of a courageous, unflinching, natural leader. Symbolized by the Ram, Aries are known as the trailblazers of the zodiac, literally ramming their way through barriers to usher in watershed moments or breakthrough events—certainly in this presidential race.
Aries helps motivate us, encourages us to fight for our beliefs and inspires us to be fearless. Before his life in politics, Walz was notably the faculty advisor for the first (how Aries!) gay-straight alliance at Mankato West High School (in 1999). He also coached the football team to its first (more Aries) state championship the same year.
Aries people tend to have TONS of energy that they channel that into everything from work to family matters to standing up for the underdog. Their gusto is part of what makes people born under this sign such amazing leaders. At a low vibration, however, Aries can be self-centered, bossy and stubborn—with a bit of a hero’s complex (it’s not easy being in charge!).
One thing you can count on? Aries appreciate a worthy challenge—or debate opponent—they can meet any obstacle with a healthy dose of spicy sass. He publicly (and virally) described Donald Trump and his running mate JD Vance as “weird” (on-brand for his Aries self).
Tim Walz’s Chart Has A Fiery Aries Stellium
•When three or more planets are grouped in the same zodiac sign or house, it is called a stellium•
In addition to his Sun, Tim Walz also has ambitious Mars and confident Jupiter in Aries. He’s passionate with a tremendous zest for life.
Mars is empowered in Aries, with a can-do attitude and unrivaled ability to initiate. Jupiter, meanwhile, magnifies the qualities of whatever sign it’s in, offering larger-than-life blessings and opportunities on Walz’s hero’s journey.
Aries is also heavily linked to war and combat—a prominent feature in Walz’s chart. He was the highest-ranking retired enlisted soldier to ever serve in Congress. He joined the National Guard when he turned 17 (serving for 24 years) in the footsteps of his father who fought in the Korean War. Kamala Harris even highlighted Walz’s gun ownership and shooting skills, noting him as one of Capitol Hill’s best marksmen.
Tim Walz’s Animal Lover Vibe Checks Out In His Natal Chart
•Mercury directs the ways we think, communicate and share information.•
Tim Walz’s Mercury is in down-to-earth and pragmatic Taurus, giving him some serious Midwestern dad energy. Not one to be flowery or hyperbolic with his language, Walz is a grounded straight-shooter—he only speaks when necessary and isn’t looking to complicate matters. Oh, and he is said to make a killer hotdish—Taurus and tasty comfort food are oft in the same sentence. Don’t take our word for it, though: his recipe did win a congressional competition.
Mercury also rules pets while Taurus is the zodiac sign associated with flora and fauna. Walz is a big-time advocate for rescue animals and has two: a calico-colored kitty, Honey, and black lab, Scout (whose mischievous antics have already won over social media). He also has a viral picture (Mercury) of him cuddling a piglet at the Minnesota State Fair’s “oink booth”— how deeply Taurus coded.
On a deeper level, Walz’s Mercury forms a harmonious 120-degree trine with changemaker Uranus in service-oriented Virgo. While he may seem on the surface like your standard Midwestern dad who loves a good state fair, his Uranus tints his perspective (Mercury) with shades of genius, individuality and progressivism that can take you by surprise.
Love Astrology of Tim Walz: Always Up For Adventure
•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.
Tim Walz’s love planets form an energizing 60-degree aspect known as a sextile. In other words, Mars and Venus tend to be pretty agreeable in Walz’s chart. He has go-getter Mars in assertive Aries and harmonizer Venus in communicative Gemini—youthful placements are always up for an adventure.
Mars in Aries loves the thrill of the chase. Family matters are important, with Mars in Aries types predisposed to the leadership role at home. Don’t be fooled by their independent tendencies, however, they secretly like to be babied and coddled! Because Aries is the zodiac’s first and “youngest” sign, those with Mars in Aries may secretly feel more dependent on their partner than they realize.
Venus in Gemini on the other hand is curious and eager to learn. Those with the placement require a healthy relationship with communication—talking AND listening. They also need a playmate in the form of a soulmate: someone who can have fun, flirt and appreciate the importance of keeping things fresh, with a healthy dose of intellectual stimulation.

Tim Walz’s South Node Is In Traditional Capricorn
•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).•
Tim Walz has his South Node (past-life karma) in Capricorn and his North Node (destiny) in Cancer. With Capricorn ruling institutions and traditions and Cancer’s association with the underdog and female figures, Walz is here to understand which traditions work in favor of the people, rather than the system. His Capricorn South Node offers him integrity and a backbone. His Cancer North Node can help him tap into some deep wells of sensitivity.
During his time as Minnesota’s governor, Walz not only enshrined ironclad reproductive freedom rights, but he also signed a bill funding free school breakfast and lunch to all students, regardless of income—both distinctly Cancerian themes. Aside from his past accomplishments, it’s interesting to ponder the impact of female figures playing an instrumental role in his destiny. How would that translate with women voters?
Tim Walz and Kamala Harris Astrological Compatibility
Tim Walz shares compelling synastry with Democratic Presidential Nominee Kamala Harris.
For starters, Walz’s Aries Sun is a natural complement to Harris’s 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 comfortable understanding between the two and the potential for action to manifest more expeditiously; it’s an optimal configuration around policy alignment.
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’s 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’s 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.
