On September 10, Charlie Kirk was shot and killed at Utah University. Just a few hours before it happened, I saw one of his TikToks and had no idea what would unfold next.
In this article, I want to take a look at his transit chart for the day and explore possible astrological influences. Whether you liked him or not, let’s put politics aside and focus only on the astrology.
His Natal Chart
Charlie Kirk was born on October 14, 1993. He had the Sun, Moon, and Jupiter in Libra, Venus in Virgo, Mercury and Mars in Scorpio, and Lilith in Aries (which I always examine first). His exact Ascendant is unknown, but I strongly suspect it was early Sagittarius.
With both Sun and Moon in Libra, you might expect someone who seeks fairness and diplomacy. Yet not all Libras express harmony. In his case, he reflected more of a “shadow Libra” energy: confrontational, provocative, and often deliberately polarizing.
Mercury and Mars in Scorpio add intensity. This can indicate a sharp, investigative mind, a person who digs beneath the surface and questions everything. However, it can also express as combative speech, provocation, and a tendency to fuel conflict rather than resolve it.
If he was a Sagittarius rising, Jupiter would be his chart ruler, placed near the cusp of the 11th house. This aligns with someone active in public life, speaking to large groups and advocating causes, whether controversial or not. Sagittarius rising also points to religious or philosophical conviction, blunt honesty, and a belief-driven worldview, all of which he demonstrated.
Lilith in Aries suggests raw, confrontational energy. At its best, this can show courage and independence. At its worst, it becomes aggression, righteousness, and projecting inner battles outward. If his Moon was between 8 and 10 degrees of Libra, it would have been exactly opposite Lilith in Aries, symbolizing an internal struggle between peacekeeping and domination.
His North Node was in Sagittarius and his South Node in Gemini. A North Node in Sagittarius indicates a life path centered around finding truth, belief, or philosophy. It is the archetype of the teacher, preacher, or guide. But the South Node in Gemini can fall into endless debate, gossip, reactionary speech, and controversy without direction.
For the record, I was not very familiar with him. I had seen him briefly during the Trump campaign but never followed his work closely.
His Transit Chart on the Day of the Event
If Charlie Kirk was indeed a Sagittarius rising, then Jupiter, his chart ruler, was transiting his 8th house at the time. Jupiter in the 8th house does not always indicate death, but when the Ascendant faces difficult transits, symbolism can manifest in literal ways.
Transit Uranus was opposing his Ascendant, moving retrograde away from his South Node and separating from his North Node. Uranus symbolizes shocks, sudden events, disruption, and in this case, violence that arrived unexpectedly.
Transit Mars was in Libra, having just passed over his Sun and moving toward Jupiter (his potential chart ruler). Mars conjunct Sun or Jupiter often brings confrontation, impulsive action, and volatile circumstances, especially in the 10th house of public life and reputation.
Saturn and Neptune were the heavier influences. Saturn was retrograde at 29 degrees Pisces, and Neptune was at 1 degree Aries. Together, they opposed his Venus in Virgo and his Midheaven. This often symbolizes collapse, scandal, loss of status, or the end of a public role. Virgo relates to health and communication, ruled by Mercury, so this transit points to both physical vulnerability and a fall in public image.
Even without confirming a Sagittarius Ascendant, the Saturn–Neptune opposition remains striking. Saturn can signify endings or karmic consequences, while Neptune in Aries speaks to dissolution of the physical self. The Virgo–Aries axis strongly connects with health and the physical body.
Finally, if he was Sagittarius rising, then transit Jupiter in the 8th house was conjunct his Vertex and opposing Uranus. This is a powerful configuration that often reflects sudden, fated turning points or endings.
Beyond the Chart
Astrology does not justify or condemn anyone. It simply mirrors the energies and cycles present at a given moment. Charlie Kirk’s chart showed intense transits pointing to shock, endings, and irreversible change. Whether you supported him or not, this was a significant astrological moment.
I hope that, in whatever way possible, peace reaches Charlie and his family.
