A planet's house is read at the recorded birth time.
The Moon crossed from Revati into Ashwini at about 2:14 pm, seven hours before her birth. At that same moment it moved from Meen (Pisces) into Mesh (Aries). Ketu rules Ashwini.
The Sun held Tula from midnight to midnight, so the sign is certain for any birth hour. Mercury, the planet of speech and reasoning, is combust here. That means it sits so close to the Sun that its glare weakens it. By the classical rule the Sun's weakness is cancelled (Neech Bhang). The reason is that Mars, lord of the Sun's strongest sign Mesh (Aries), sits in a kendra from the Moon. A kendra is one of the four main houses.
Mars stayed in Kark all day, about two degrees short of Simha (Leo). Its long period ran from 2005 to 2012. She took office as Attorney General of California on 3 January 2011, inside it.
Saturn was retrograde, seeming to move backward in the sky. Kumbh is also its moolatrikona, the sign where it is most at home. It held that sign for every hour of the day.
Kamala Harris was born in Oakland at 9:28 pm, five minutes after Mithun (Gemini) began to rise. A birth a few minutes earlier would have had Vrishabh (Taurus) rising instead. So the signs and nakshatra in her chart are firmer than its houses, and this reading names no houses.
Two planets sit in their weakest signs, which astrologers call debilitated. The Sun is in Tula (Libra), and Mars is in Kark (Cancer). By the classical rule the Sun's weakness is cancelled (Neech Bhang). Mars, lord of the Sun's strongest sign, sits in a kendra, one of the four main houses, counted from the Moon. Saturn, by contrast, is at home in Kumbh (Aquarius), one of its own signs.
Her Moon is in Mesh (Aries), in Ashwini, the first of the 27 nakshatras. She was the first woman to serve as Vice President of the United States. This page reads her chart beside that record; it makes no claim that the stars wrote it.

A mahadasha is a long planetary period that lasts several years. An antardasha is a shorter sub-period inside it.
| Date | Milestone | Mahadasha (main period) | Antardasha (sub-period) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 January 2004 | Takes office as District Attorney of San Francisco | Moon | Venus |
| 3 January 2011 | Takes office as Attorney General of California | Mars | Venus |
| 3 January 2017 | Takes her seat in the United States Senate | Rahu | Jupiter |
| 20 January 2021 | Sworn in as the 49th Vice President of the United States | Rahu | Mercury |
| 21 July 2024 | Announces her presidential campaign after President Biden withdraws | Rahu | Venus |
| 5 August 2024 | Becomes the Democratic Party's official presidential nominee | Rahu | Venus |
| 5 November 2024 | Loses the presidential election to Donald Trump | Rahu | Venus |
Every main period and every sub-period here holds even with a birth time 15 minutes either way.
The last five events fall in Rahu's long period, which began in 2012. Rahu was in Mithun (Gemini), the sign rising at her recorded time.
All three 2024 events, from the campaign's start to the November election she lost, came in the sub-period of Venus. Her move to the Attorney General's office came in a Venus sub-period too, inside the period of Mars.
