This gives her a powerful desire for self-expression. She has a good intellect. She will need to be cautious to not get in trouble with the government when it comes to taxes or the IRS. Kamala’s ascendant and Rahu are in the lunar mansion of Mrigashira. This is considered to be a lunar mansion that is restless and constantly searching or looking for something. It can make her an intelligent investigator with a mentally sharp mind. She is someone who may enjoy talking and speaking. She could be overly critical.
In her second house, Cancer, she has Mars. Mars is debilitated, meaning it is at its weakest state. With this placement she is likely to blurt out her opinions without thinking them through.

She has one of the most powerful connections for money with the ruler of her eleventh house of great gains, Mars, in her second house of money that she earns from her career. This is magnified even more as the ruler of her second house, Moon, is in her eleventh house of great gains. These planets are in a relationship called parivartana.

What transits triggered her marriage? What transits triggered her electoral win for Attorney General in 2010? 2014? What could have triggered her being Joe Bidens pick as his Vice Presidential Candidate? What will the transits be on November 5, 2024 when the Presidential Elections occur?
Kamala married her husband, Douglas Emhoff, on August 22, 2014. At that time, she was in Maha Dasha Rahu and sub-dasha Rahu. This can be a time for her to get married as Rahu sends its energy, by opposition, to her seventh house of partnerships. This happens both in her birth chart and her Navamsha, which looks at the spouse. Transiting Venus was conjunct her natal Mars, which can make for a love connection. Transiting Saturn was sending its energy to her seventh house of partnerships. Transiting Rahu was sending its energy to her natal Jupiter which is the ruler of her seventh house. Transiting Jupiter was conjunct her natal Mars. Transiting Mars was also sending its energy to her natal Jupiter. She has six different hits that indicate she could get married. When looking we try to find at least three hits.
She won her spot as Attorney General of California in November 2010. It was not a cut and dry election as voting occurred on November 2, 2010 and a winner was not determined until November 24. Let’s look at what transits were occurring. On both dates Transiting Rahu was sending its energy to her eleventh house of great gains which houses her natal Moon. Her Moon helped expand her fame and her money as it is ruler of her second house of income. Transiting Jupiter was sending its energy to her first house and her natal Rahu, expanding her opportunities.
She was re-elected on November 4, 2014. At this time transiting Jupiter was in her second house of money from her work and it was exalted during this transit, making it very strong. Transiting Jupiter was also sending its energy to her tenth house of career. This would expand opportunities for her. Transiting Rahu was sending its energy, by opposition, to her tenth house of career. Transiting Mars was also sending its energy by its fourth aspect to her tenth house of career giving her the drive and ambition to achieve her goals and continuing getting ahead.
On August 11, 2020 Joe Biden announced that he had chosen Kamala as his running mate for the position of Vice President of the United States of America. At this time transiting Jupiter was sending its energy to her eleventh house of great gains and her natal Moon. Making her name even more known and giving her great gains. It was also sending its energy to her natal Rahu in her first house. This gives opportunities. Transiting Rahu was conjunct her natal Rahu which is called a nodal return. This is a huge time of change for someone. Her life will never be the same after this. Transiting Saturn was sending its energy to her tenth house of career giving her the ability to work hard and use the discipline to achieve her career goals. Transiting Mars was in her tenth house of career bringing ambition, drive and motivation.
On November 5, 2024 the day of the 2024 Presidential Election transiting Jupiter will be retrograde in her 12th house of foreign connections. Jupiter transiting the 12th house can be a period of endings and bringing a chapter of her life to a close. It could be anything from getting full closure of old emotions or beliefs or even an end to her current career. This is not the best transit to begin something new. Transiting Saturn will be in her 9th house causing her to be more realistic and cynical. Transiting Saturn will be sending its energy to her 6th house of work which can be a time when she feels stronger. She could be faced with confrontations during this time. Because Saturn will still be retrograde at this time, mixed with Jupiter retrograde there could be setbacks and delays. Rahu will be transiting her 10th house of career indicating she will be more visible. This is also going to expand her career but it may be more in unexpected ways. With Rahu transiting her 10th house this means Ketu is transiting her 4th house of home. Ketu can bring loss so this could indicate a time when she changes homes or her home life could feel unsettled. Does this potentially mean the move from the Vice President’s house to the White House? Potentially but there are mixed transits at this time. Some strong to win the election but some not as strong. Neptune is transiting her 10th house of career. This is a time when she will need to be cautious as she could not be realistic or almost delusional as it relates to her career. At this time, she has also entered her Sadi Sati period. This is not always a bad period especially if you are not in a dasha period related to Saturn or the Moon. That being said she is in her Rahu- Venus Dasha period. These two planets are in a 3/11 relationship which is a period of growth. No matter what happens during this time it will be an extreme period of growth for Kamala.
Based on her yearly chart for when she turns 60 on October 20, 2024 it will be a year where Kamala could see a rise in status and gain fulfillment of her desires. She could find that there are financial gains from her actions and the effort she puts in. This can be a year where the emphasis of her focus is on her home, lands, agriculture and education. She could see expenditures related to home as well. The lord of the year is Venus indicating a focus on health and professional status.
Kamala has some strong things in her chart but like anyone she also has areas for growth. As we head into the 2024 Presidential Election it will be one to watch and one we all remember as it will not be as cut and dry as most believe it will be.
