Adolf Hitler was a German politician and leader of Nazi party [Date of birth: 20^th April 1889, Time 18:20, Place: Braunau (Austria)]. As a leader of Nazi party, he orchestrated both World War -II and Holocaust (Gas Chamber -systematic state sponsored killings) events which led to death of 40 Million people. His book Mein Kampf (“My Struggle”), a bible on National Socialism, became a best seller. Very few people know that Hitler was a Teetotaler (Never drank liquor), Non-Smoker and Vegetarian. On 30^th April 1945, with the war lost and Soviet troops advancing Hitler committed suicide by shooting himself.

Now, let us understand his life with the help of his birth chart.

Before analyzing any chart, one has to check the position of Lagna (Ascendant), Lagna Lord (Venus in this case), Sun and Moon. Hitler was Libra ascendant with Venus as the lord. Libra ascendant seek fame and want to show themselves to others. Again, Lagna lord placed in 7^th house which is the house of others, vindicates the fact that he always sought fame. Venus, a watery planet, is in company with Sun and Mars which represent Fire and in the sign of Aries again represents fire. Thus, this is not a very congenial position for Venus. Venus being the karaka for wife, this is one of the reasons he couldn’t marry. This severe affliction of Venus also led to his unnatural death.

Sun is exalted in the sign of Aries in the 7^th house. Sun represents government and is also the karaka of earnings (11^th house has Leo sign). Thus, we know that his earnings mainly came from his position with the government.

Moon the ruler of 10^th house (Cancer sign) the house of career is again placed in the sign of fire -Sagittarius. It is in the company of Jupiter placed in its own Mool Trikon sign of Sagittarius. Thus, he was very successful in the career field. Also, Moon being in the company of Ketu made him detached and ruthless in executing his work which lead to the massacre of millions of people. Here Moon being the Karaka of Mind and also the ruler of career house (10^th house).

Hitler had Rahu in his 9^th house which is the house of Religion. Thus, he was over obsessed with religion. This is a very bad position for Rahu as it is placed in the house of religion whereas Rahu is not at all religious. Rahu had its aspect on Lagna (first house) and also on the third house over Moon, ruler of mind. Hence, he was very cruel in executing his plan (work) and also had deceitful personality.

Mercury placed in 7^th house, the house of business and partnership, made him very good at negotiation and striking deals. Mercury attains dig-bala (directional strength) in first house. Having placed in the seventh exactly opposite, it becomes dig-bala heen (power less). Thus, his intellect didn’t help in distinguishing good versus bad. Also, he made disastrous decision of attacking Russia during winter.

Jupiter is considered as functional malefic for Libra ascendants as he is the ruler of third and sixth house.        Jupiter looking at seventh house with it’s fifth aspect is also another reason for denial of marriage. Also Jupiter place in third house which is the hose of war and struggle. Hence Jupiter couldn’t give its wisdom for work as it is the ruler of two malefic houses -3^rd and 6^th house.

Saturn is strongly placed in 10^th house. Saturn is also yoga karaka planet in this chart as it owns both kendra (4^th house) and trikon (5^th house). Saturn represents hard work, discipline, structured thought process and commitment. All these qualities can be seen in Hitler’s career. Tenth house is also the house of fame, the house of 10^th house, moon in this case is situated in third house the house of war. Thus, he became famous because of the war.
