Kamala Harris has teased that she may run for president in 2028 in a BBC interview on her international promotional book tour. She dismissed polls that place her as an outsider ranking behind even Hollywood actor Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson. She reinforced her criticism of Joe Biden’s late decision to withdraw which resulted in her abbreviated 2024 presidential run, saying she wishes she had spoken up earlier.
She has already mounted two campaigns for the White House. In 2020, the then-California senator ran in a crowded field for the Democratic nomination but dropped out before the first primary vote in Iowa. Biden later selected her as his running mate.
Born 20 October 1964 9.28pm Oakland, California, she has a late Libra Sun conjunct Mercury in Scorpio with a later degree Neptune in Scorpio all in her performing 5th house. With her Sun opposition an Aries Moon; and a politician’s blowhard Mars in Leo in her communication 3rd opposition Saturn in late Aquarius square Jupiter in Taurus – hard edged, over-confident (from Jupiter) and unlucky (Mars Saturn) at the same time. Her Neptune opposes Jupiter for a further layer of super-optimism in a publicity-attracting squaring to Mars as well. Plus a turbulent Uranus Pluto Venus in Virgo in her domestic 4th house. Plus a North Node on her Gemini Ascendant giving her problems with establishing a strong sense of identity for all her flamboyant and seemingly self-assured approach. It is not an easy chart to warm to.
Jupiter moving through her 2nd will bring money her way over coming months though it is less likely to be campaign donations than from other sources. What will be interesting to watch is her Solar Arc Jupiter square her Sun and Moon by 2027 which will send her confidence soaring. Tr Saturn moving through her upper quadrant for some years ahead will boost her ambitions as she strives for reputation and achievements. But tr Pluto through her 8th until 2030 and square her Solar Arc Midheaven by 2028 looks log jammed – with tr Pluto square her Saturn/MC midpoint from March 2026 on and off till late 2027 which will make for slow progress and setbacks galore.
By the 2032 election she has tr Saturn dipping below her Ascendant which makes that unlikely for success as well.
Her relationship with Joe Biden always was sticky with his Sun Venus in Scorpio colliding with her Mars opposition Saturn; and her evasive Neptune conjunct his Mars in Scorpio.
Their relationship chart had a distrustful, cool, slipping-and-sliding composite Saturn opposition Venus Neptune – and a somewhat more solid and upbeat composite Saturn Moon trine Pluto sextile Jupiter. The unaspected and unintegrated composite Mars is being opposed by tr Neptune Saturn at the moment and through till January 2027 which will spark aggravation. It first showed stress when her book was first published in May as she said it was his personal ego and ambition that got in the way of stepping down.
She’s a no-hoper for 2028 and this may just be a way of attracting publicity for her book, so matters little. But she is much of a muchness of what is wrong with many/most politicians at the moment. All hot air, overblown egos and a stubborn refusal (or inability) to face facts or get a grip of fixing what has gone wrong.
