The Natal Chart of Adolf Hitler

There are certain people throughout history that can send shivers down the spines of the masses. People so vile that the mark they left on the world will never be scrubbed off.  Acts committed that were so heinous, they will never be omitted out of the History books. There are few people that are synonymous with the word evil, they have become the pure archetypal expression of the word itself.  Join me as I take a look into the natalchart of someone who checks all these boxes, Adolf Hitler.

Adolf Hitler was born in Braunau am Inn, Austria on April 20th, 1889 at 6:30p.m.. Hitler's upbringing was volatile as his father was rumored to have been a bastard child out of wedlock with a Jewish man committed by his adulterous grandmother.  The father of Hitler was reported to have been abusive towards young Adolf, leaving a bitter taste for the Jewish People in the future dictator's mouth.  Hitler also had a couple of siblings that were born with some sort of retardation, possibly fueling Hitler's eugenics campaign that left millions of people buried in shallow graves. At first glance of his Natalchart, Hitler didn't look like such a bad guy, but let's take a deeper look and discover what can make a man commit such horrendous acts.

Hitler is widely believed to have been an INFJ. INFJs are a Jungian personality type associated with larger-than-life people that changed history through passive, humanitarian ventures.  I think it's safe to say that Hitler might be an exception to that rule.  From the few charts I analyzed, one of the characteristics that INFJs have is a lot of placements in angular houses. Generally speaking, angles are often opposed and square to one another; this can of course be an exception to the rule if you use the Placidus House system such as I do. This often creates a frictional effect on the native of these particular placements.

Look at Kurt Cobain's chart for example, there is a battle going on between his Ascendant, Midheaven, and his Descendant. You can also watch his birthchart reading here, and his video where I typed Cobain here.

Looking at the Birthchart of Kurt Cobain, you can see a large concentration of Planets on the Angular Houses

Hitler Really Loved Animals...

To start things off, Hitler has a Taurian Sun right on the Cusp of the bull, making a tight conjunction with his fiery Arian Descendant and busy Mercury. There's no doubt that Hitler had a deep need to establish relationships in this incarnation. The Descendant is the cusp of the 7th House which is the entry point into the House of Relationships itself. However, the 7th House is associated with open enemies. Being the devil of the Second World War, Hitler had no shortage of adversaries.  Having such a Mercurial influence, it should be easy enough to see where Hitler got his powerful, yet tyrannical charisma. Hitler captivated Nazi Germany with his  powerful speaking abilities that can truly fire up a crowd in true Arian fashion. Hitler was obviously not so fond of humans, but he had this proclivity towards animals. Hitler was a vegetarian and an advocate of animal rights. These enigmatic, contradictory traits are often common with the rare, yet eccentric INFJ profile.

Let's look across the Heavens and examine the rising sign of this brutal dictator. Scarily enough, Hitler shares a Libra Ascendant along with myself and the demented killer and devourer of men, Jeffrey Dahmer. Check out the article I wrote on Jeffrey Dahmer's chart analysis here. Trigger words that are often associated with Libra are art, beauty, fairness, and balance. When one thinks of just a brutal totalitarian such as Adolf Hitler, many of those words shouldn't come to mind. As some of you may know, Hitler was a failed artist.  His failure into art school is often associated with the breaking point that led Hitler into an attempt to conquer Europe and to exterminate an entire race.

 Fairness and Justice for All... Except the Jews.

The Ascendant is the first impression the native gives to people. The Rising Sign is synonymous with one's outward appearance and bodily characteristics. People often associate a Libra rising with someone of pleasing aesthetics. A few degrees away in the hidden and mystical 12th House, we find Rabble-Rousing Uranus conjoining the Ascendant of the maniacal Hitler. A few things that could be said about Ol' Adolf, was that he could really rock an odd looking haircut and moustache! Uranus is the Planet of weirdness and eccentricities.  This could be an explanation of the quirky fashion choices that Hitler is notorious for.  As aforementioned, Libra is connected with fairness, balance, and justice. Having such a Uranian influence on the Ascendant might have distorted Hitler's views on how society should be run.

Prior to his career as a would-be conqueror of continents, Hitler served time in prison for his first attempt at a political coup. Looking at various charts, criminals often have a strong Uranian and 12th House influence as these can signify criminals and prison respectively. While incarcerated, this is where Hitler penned his autobiography-- Mein Kampf, detailing the distorted views of our native. With this rebellious Ascendant making such an oppositional duality with Hitler's should-be pleasant Descendant. We can see where Hitler's radical ideas made such a splash with the public in a polarizing fashion.

Shamefully, I share another commonality with two of the most infamous people in History, and that is muted Jupiter in austere Capricorn in the intellectual 3rd House. (Again, Jeffrey Dahmer is included here.) Unlike myself and Dahmer, Hitler's stoic Capricornian Moon is making yet another tight conjunction with the often gregarious Jupiter.  This conjunction indicates a need for control and domination which would bring strong emotional fulfillment to someone as devious as Adolf Hitler. Jupiter is a planet that exemplifies everything that it touches. This conjunction also trines Hitler's Mercury, Sun, and Descendant stellium that is in the 7th House giving off both the Aries and Taurus flavor which was previously discussed. Being in the House of Communication, Jupiter exuded Hitler's charisma; giving him the ability to awe crowds with his silver tongue, which in turn gave the tyrant the political support to perpetuate the disparaged agenda he so desperately tried to fulfill.  This callous Jupiter-Moon combination would give the native some cold, sinister qualities if not dealt with in a productive, healthy manner.

 All is Fair in Love and War

As previously mentioned, Hitler had a dire need to establish discerning relationships.  Let's go back to the second sign of the Zodiac and look at the compressed conjoinment of Hitler's Venus and Mars.  Though the Planet of Relationships and the Planet of War are smack right on top of one another in placid Taurus, this has the potentiality of being an explosive pairing.  If you look into the History of Hitler, you can see there was a lot of sexual frustration.  Rumors have been circulating for decades that Hitler only had one testicle that descended.  Empathize the word "rumor" here, as a dated, and obscure medical record entails that Hitler had a lost soldier that went AWOL.  Being something of such sensitivity for a man, this could be the source of dire sexual tension.  A Mars-Venus conjunction could indicate that someone with this aspect could be quite aggressive and volatile in relationships.  I have seen people who are bisexual in nature, and possibly those who struggle with gender dysphoria with this aspect as well.  Hitler was noted to have had several extramarital affairs, with one of his mistresses being present when Hitler debatably took his own miserable life during the Russian siege of Berlin. Venus and Mars are notably amassing this stellium along with the Sun, Mercury, and Ascendant in the supposed lovely House of Marriage.

Next, we will examine the presumably sensitive Cancerian Midheaven of our mustached villain. This Point in the Zenith might demonstrate a need to have a career, or public image that is emotionally fulfilling.  Tracing back to his draconic Moon near Hitler's IC, being a murdered of millions might fit the bill here.  Hitler had an obvious thumbprint of a dictator with his Saturn right at home in the 10th House under the sign of attention-seeking Leo.  This is a tale-tell sign of someone who craved the notoriety of being someone cold, and calculating, while simultaneously showing a strong desire to be the head honcho. This is making a sextile to Hitler's chaotic Uranus, and circles back to the 7th House stellium forming a quincunx to the ever-so-tight conjunction of the Taurian Venus-Mars. As we progress, we are beginning to paint a deluded picture of power and tyranny. When speaking of power and tyranny, Pluto cannot be excluded in the discussion.

Pluto and Neptune

Perhaps one of the most damning features in the tyrant’s chart is the Pluto-Neptune conjunction in the Gemini 8th House. Neptune is the planet of fantasy. Being in such a dark, sinister house, Hitler might just have had these odd terrible visions of death, genocide, and eugenics. Having Neptune coupled with Pluto, the ruler of all that’s evil, didn’t make those horrific thoughts any lighter. Earlier in this article, I mentioned that atleast one of Hitler’s siblings was born with some sort of deficiency.  Gemini is the sign of siblings. Putting all the pieces together, one with this placement might have these terrible thoughts of eliminating those of what could be perceived as less-than-desirable qualities.  Though Hitler being a burnett, only standing at around 5’8’’, and having brown eyes, for whatever reason, Hitler fetishsized those with blonde hair, blue eyes, and men that were over 6 feet tall. Everyone else, which is most of the people that inhabit Earth, were seen as Inferior. Not being sure of Hitler’s rationale here– or the lack thereof, I find it difficult to pinpoint where this eccentric thought pattern originates from.

The North and South Node of Adolf Hitler

This is where things really get juicy for the terrifying totalitarian!  One notable thing about Adolf Hitler is the surprising twist that he was a failed artist. At a young age, Hitler applied twice at an art school in his native Austria.  Though many speculate that Hitler was an intuitive INFJ, his lack of abstraction in his art might indicate otherwise.  Hitler’s North Node lies in delicate Cancer in the adventurous 9th House of Travel.  Interestingly enough, Hitler often painted buildings of other foreign cultures!  Not being much of an art enthusiast myself, I would even say that Hitler’s artist impressions were bland and drab.  Hitler was criticized for this, and was advised to become an architect. Many claim that this was the straw that broke the camel's back, and Hitler spiraled out of control to become the leader of Nazi Germany.

 The North Node is the point in our charts that indicates a blind spot that needs to be developed in order for the soul to grow and develop. Hitler was quick to give up on his aspirations to be an artist. Perhaps young Adolf should have pursued a school outside of his native Austria?  Hitler also loved History, American History ironically enough.  Though the USA would soon become a huge thorn in the side of our dictator, Hitler couldn’t help but admire the industriousness of the future superpower of the world.  Hitler studied American History, namely the enslavement of black and Irish people, generating free labor for America at the time. Hitler also took note of the genocide of the first people to immigrate to the Americas.  The 9th House is about higher learning and foreign cultures.  Seeing that the ruler of the Cancerian North Node– the Moon, is conjunct the South Node itself; this might have miscued the nodal journey of the villainous war-monger.

The South Node of the Moon lies in the 3rd House and in the sign of cold and calculating Capricorn.  The Ruler of the North Node conjucting the South Node itself might have been the most damaging aspect in the chart of Adolf Hitler.   The Ruler of the North Node should give us details of where Hitler should of went in life, but instead, it led him back to the tendencies of what he should have tried to get away from.  Having a South Node in Capricorn would show someone with a great tenacity towards power and control. Also laying in the 3rd House of Communication,  A Capricornian South Node shows someone who might have abused the gift of gab to perpetuate hateful means towards dominance.  With the South Node making a conjunction to Jupiter, this would greatly expand this need for supremacy. The Ruler of the South Node would point up to Hitler’s Leonian Saturn in the 10th House of Public Image.  Hitler had a natural tendency to give into the compulsion of having absolute power, and revealed in the spotlight in true Leo fashion.

One of Hitler's Paintings

Was Hitler fated to be a relentless fascist born solely just to torment and control others? Or was there an element of free will?  With the Moon-- the Ruler of the North Node being conjunct his South Node, that definitely added a lot of convulsion. Hitler aspired to be a painter, and having a North Node in Cancer was surely a rally point for him to explore.  Having his North Node in the wanderlustful 9th House, and having been drawn to both Germany and the United States, perhaps if Hitler applied to an art school in a foreign land he might have had more luck. But instead, Hitler gave up on his dream quite easily and stuck with what was disturbingly familiar. Hitler, for whatever reason, abhorred exploring the abstract. Seeing the abundance of Earth energy in his chart, might have been the catalyst to his failures as an artist. Not only did Hitler have an overabundance of Earth, his Capricorn Moon must have lusted over the mundane.  On the other hand, Hitler might have been doomed to fail in the arts, opening a deep wound that could only be cauterized with the blood of the Jewish People. 

Well there you have it, that is a breakdown of the Birthchart of Adolf Hitler.  This goes to show that you can’t just superficially look at a chart and see the outcome of something as complex as a human being. It takes a deep dive to truly unveil the psyche of any individual.  You might be like myself, and share similar placements or aspects as someone as monstrous as Hitler. Just because you have something that lines up with someone else, you should never just go off one, or a few points.  What else do you see in Hilter’s chart that I might have glossed over? Are you like myself and share any similar Planets with Hitler. Let me know in the comments below. Also feel free to check out the video I did on Hitler here.
