Kamala Devi Harris - A Journey From 49 to 47 [that WASN'T]
||ॐ गुरवे नमः||
There are many analysis online from esteemed astrologers making predictions for the ’24 US elections and a lot of that analysis has to do with contrasting the charts of Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. With Trump, the chart has been though the ringer over the years and accurately represents the observations made, however, with Kamala Harris, there is only now a growing body of work in analyzing her chart as she burst onto the presidential election scene over the last few months. Complex tara and yogini dashas are being applied and various comparisons are being made between the candidates’ stars but I don’t think the most basic question has been asked; is it even Kamala Harris’ chart?.
The Sandhi Lagna
The chart the is currently being analyzed as that of Kamala Harris has Gemini Rising with an Exalted Rahu in Lagna. The Ascendent degree at the given birth time of 9:28 PM is ~1 degree. This naturally leads us to the question of if she is potentially a Taurus Rising with Jupiter in Lagna instead? A worthwhile exploration regardless of the final answer.
Contrasting the Rashi D1 Charts of Gemini and Taurus Ascendant(s)
An exalted Rahu in Gemini with no other Rashi Drishti would give a heavy vata constitution compared to the Taurus ascendant having a Kapha-pitta predominance with Jupiter in a Venusian sign aspected by debilitated Agni grahas Sun and Mars. The later fits her more from a first blush.
The Gemini lagna also has a cursed lagna lord with a debilitated Sun wheras the Taurus ascendant has a. Digbala Venus aspected by the Yogakaraka Saturn. A much better representation of the sharp intellect she has applied in her illustrious career as a district attorney and a US Senator.
If we analyze the Varnada and 11th from the Varnada Lagna (VL) for either of the Ascendants, we can see the that Saturn on the VL and Sagittarius 11th from VL from the Taurus ascendant is a better representation of her work as a District Attorney prosecuting Drug and Gang violence (exalted Ketu in Sagittarius) than what we see from the Gemini Ascendant with a Pisces VL with Capricorn 11th from VL (Manual Labor)
Her estranged relationship with her father is not indicative of 9th lord in the 9th or in the Lagna. Rather 9th lord in 10th cursed is a better representation of her experience of her father.
Rectification Through Vargas
Given the public facts about her Education(D24), Work (VL, D10) and Family (D12) history we can attempt to rectify the chart for find the more appropriate ascendant. Given the sandhi lagna, all these divisional charts change with the Rashi lagna.
Kamala Harris’ parents on Left and with Mother on Right
Family
Let us start with the Parental history. Her Mother, Shyamala Gopalan, was a biomedical scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, whose work in isolating and characterizing the progesterone receptor gene stimulated advances in breast biology and oncology. With the Taurus rising, the lord of the 4th house in D12 is the Moon conjoined Jupiter and Venus showing the scholarly nature (Jupiter – Moon) and the topic of her work in breast cancer (Venus). This is a much better fit than Mercury in Capricorn. Shyamala Gopalan died on Feb 11 2009 in Mars Dasha, Mercury Antar-Dasha. Mercury in the 10th house of loss of patent in D12 is a much better fit for the timing of death of her parent

Her Father, Donald J. Harris, was an economist and professor emeritus at Stanford University. He came to the United States to earn a PhD from University of California, Berkeley He met his future wife, Shyamala Gopalan through the civil rights movement. In 1972, he joined the faculty of Stanford University as a professor of economics. He also directed the Consortium Graduate School of Social Sciences at the University of the West Indies in and was a Fulbright Scholar in Brazil.
The shared values of both father and mother match the 9th lord being Jupiter conjunct the moon (Civil Rights) and Venus (Women) in Taurus rising more than a Debilitate Saturn. His highly successful academic career also supports Jupiter (with Moon and Venus) as the significator of father in Kamala’s D12 chart.
The debilitated MKS Saturn in the lagna is indicative of the impact of the very short-lived marriage of her parents, they separated in 1972 when she was about 7 years, and her complex relations with them. Her Father has not visited her at the white house since taking office and has publicly rebuked some of her statements and interviews since.
Education
Kamala Harris graduated from Howard university with a degree in Political Sciences (Rahu 9th house lord) and Economics (Mercury in the 9th house). The Gemin Rashi lagna would have a Leo rising in the D24 and the 9th house of Arie woudl rather suggest an Engineering degree. Harris went on to attended the premier University of California, Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco, where she served as president of its chapter of the Black Law Students Association. This is a much better fit with an Exalted Jupiter in the 2nd house than Rahu-Ketu in the 2nd house. A Rahu- Ketu in the 2nd house would be detrimental to a succesful post graduate experience let alone a decorated one.

An excellent academic career is better represented by an attitude depicted by Lagna lord in the 9th than lagna lord in an Amavasya yoga.
Prediction
If we analyze the chart as Taurus rising, then the case for the ’24 US election becomes much clearer and strongly in favor of Kamala Harris becoming the 47th President. With the onset of the Rahu Maha Dasha, we can see an exponential rise in her Political career as an Exalted Rahu is activating a Simhasana yoga of the 10th lord in the 2nd. It was in 2012 that she shot into national political fame with the National Mortgage Settlement case with President Obama heavily involved and bringing her to the DNC spotlight and eventually anointing her as the 49th [4+9 = 13 = 4 = Rahu] Vice President.
Vimshottari and Narayana Dashas for Taurus Lagna
As per Chandrakala Nadi texts, Venus with the Arudha Lagna is a Raja Yoga of the highest order. We can see that just as her Venus Antar-dasha started in Feb 24, she has come back into the national spotlight in the race for the highest office in the land. The Parivartana with the debilitated Surya (Joe Biden; he has Surya eclipsed by Venus in Lagna) giving her the opportunity. The election is within this timeframe and a combination of the Simhasana Yoga and the Raja yoga conferred by Rahu – Venus looks unstoppable.
5th from her Ghatika lagna is Ketu in Sagittarius thus the topics of Immigration, wars, and the deep state are all topics that if managed well, can support her rise to power. The current running Narayana Dasha of Sagittarius is also very favorable; it is 5th from Mahadasha of Leo, with an exalted graha and favorable argalas. Immigration (Ketu) is going to be a key topic in favor of her candidacy and she has also recently been working on the immigration crisis as part of the office of the VP while running the Ketu janma vimshottari antardasha.
With a Taurus lagna, Kamala Harris looks on course to assume the office of the 47th President of the USA. The Moon after all rules the number 47.
44, 49 and 47?
Predicting The President
It turns out, the model for predicting the President and the key theme of that term is well corelated with the Number. By looking at the President Number, reducing it to the Vedic Number, and finding the Graha associated, we see that there is a very strong correlation to that planet being in the lagna of the President.
Also, that graha is determining the key themes of that presidency. If there are no planets in the Lagna, then this graha is very strong and has Rashi Drishti on Lagna, and if not, then the Lagna Lord is associated with that Graha. Here is a table of last 11 Presidents for reference and we can observe the perfect correlation to the rule.
President Term Model
With Donald Trump’s victory, we can see that his S15, Neecha Bhanga, Digbala Moon won over Kamala’s 12th house moon, through strong from Parivartana with Mars. [This Parivartana is linked to her work in Litigation.] As Mars had already given its result for Donald Trump’s first term, this time the Moon is poised to govern the results. Given the Moon-Ketu Yuti in Donald Trump’s chart, the topics of Immigration, Family and Social Structure is going to be front and center in this term.
