Her chart’s astrodyne report
The Sun dominates. It’s in the third decanate of Libra – Lupus – and the special feature of her I balance individuality is her brilliant mind and keen interest in literature and people. She can be tempted to use her mental cleverness to unfair advantage but if she’s found out and she’ll suffer expiation.
The Moon is in the third decanate of Aries – Perseus – and her I am mentality advocates the principles and propaganda of the Democratic Party. Her innate restlessness and mental enthusiasm are best employed fighting disadvantage and oppression and helping those who are weak and less privileged.
Mercury is in the first decanate of Scorpio – Ophiuchus – and her I desire mental activity and way of communicating is hallmarked by dogged resourcefulness. When she harnesses her thoughts, ideas and aspirations to her sex drive she gets spurred into action; and her tendency to be preoccupied with sensual pleasure (Sun and Mercury are in house 5) is better served when channeled into constructive creative endeavor.
And with her ascendant in the third decanate of Gemini – Ursa Major – her I think personality is defined by reason. Harris is a natural born thinker but her heavy reliance on deductive reasoning can narrow her emotional vision. With the Sun conjunction Mercury her thoughts can accomplish great things especially when elevated with a big dose of idealism and spiritual aspiration.
Venus, Uranus and Pluto are conjunction in the second decanate of Virgo – Hercules – and she can accomplish gigantic tasks and rise to great heights through sheer hard work. It’s the decanate of experience. Her powers of discernment and comparison will successfully navigate the risks, allurements and temptations that are sure to arise. (With Venus, Uranus and Pluto in house 4 this birth chart potential is more likely to surface in the latter part of her life.)
The Sun, Moon, Midheaven Mercury, Pluto, Uranus, Venus, Saturn and ascendant have above average astrodyne power and prominence status.
She has political acumen (Sun) and leadership potential (Moon in Aries).
The dominant Sun in house 5 (her love-life and children) maps a mighty urge for power and a profound sense of self-importance. It’s opposition the Moon in house 11 (her friends) and the high-discord mental conflict this separation thought-compound maps is conciliated and appeased by Saturn in house 9 (her legal work) and Midheaven (her career).
She has 4 (lucky) grand trines involving the Sun, Mercury, Saturn, ascendant and Midheaven.
Her chart is high in harmony so there’s been good fortune and support. Her prominent, high harmony ascendant maps a winning personality.
Worst planet is Moon – mental inconstancy and domesticity issues.
Jupiter and Saturn are retrograde at birth. Saturn turned direct in June 1976. Mercury turned retrograde in December 2013 and Pluto turned retrograde in February 2023.
