What has been reported so far
This post was written on 13 November 2026 and the story is still developing, so check a news outlet for the latest.
According to ABC News, which cites Nvidia’s own statement, Jensen Huang resigned as CEO of Nvidia on 12 November, and chief financial officer Colette Kress agreed to serve as interim CEO while the board searches for a permanent successor. ABC also reports that Huang sent staff a message admitting he had been “unfaithful to his wife”, and that Nvidia shares fell sharply on the news.
Other claims are circulating, including reporting about foreign intelligence targeting and about a second relationship. ABC describes these as reported but not verified by its own newsroom, and says a government and a company named in the coverage have denied or not responded to them. We are not repeating names or details here. Allegations about private individuals are not evidence, and they have nothing to do with what a birth chart can show.
Why astrology blogs jumped in
Within days, a number of astrology blogs and videos published “readings” of the story, linking it to eclipses, Venus, Rahu or a planetary period. This is a familiar pattern. Any big public event attracts explanations written after the fact.
Hindsight is powerful in astrology for a simple reason. A chart has nine planets, twelve houses, several divisional charts, running planetary periods and a calendar of transits. Once you know what happened, you can nearly always find a combination that fits it. That does not mean the astrologer is being dishonest. It means a reading written after the event cannot be tested against the event.
The birth-time problem
A kundli depends on the exact date, time and place of birth. In the sources we reviewed, public biographies give a date and place of birth for Huang but we found no documented birth time. Without a recorded time you cannot fix the ascendant, so the houses, the divisional charts and the timing of dasha periods are all guesses.
Some blogs fill the gap by assuming a time, or by working backwards from known life events. That is called rectification, and when it is done on a famous person from public events it tends to produce a chart that fits the story by construction. Our guide to birth details explains why this matters even for ordinary charts, and what a kundli is covers what each part depends on.
What the tradition says, and what it does not
In Vedic astrology, Venus is associated with relationships and comfort, Rahu with sudden turns, secrecy and foreign matters, and Saturn with accountability. Writers draw on these associations when they interpret a public fall from a position.
These are interpretive traditions, not measurements. The associations are broad enough that nearly any dramatic event can be described in their terms. They can offer a way of thinking about a theme. They cannot establish what a particular person did or why, and they should not be used to assign blame or to speculate about people who have not chosen to be in the news.
What the evidence says
Researchers have tested whether astrologers can match birth charts to people. The best-known study, by Shawn Carlson, was published in the journal Nature in 1985. In a double-blind test, the astrologers’ matches were no better than chance. Defenders of astrology reply that such tests do not capture how a practitioner works with a client. Critics reply that if a method cannot show results under controlled conditions, it should not be presented as prediction.
We take the cautious middle: planetary positions are real astronomy and can be calculated precisely, but the link between those positions and events in a person’s life has not been shown by controlled testing. Treat astrology as a framework for reflection, not as proof of cause. The question is astrology scientific goes through the arguments on both sides.
A caution about money and astrology
Some of the posts about this story also try to forecast Nvidia’s share price from planetary positions. Please do not make investment decisions on this basis. Markets respond to earnings, regulation, competition and news, and no study we know of shows that planetary timing predicts returns. For financial decisions, consult a qualified, regulated adviser.
If a story like this hits close to home
Public stories about betrayal or sudden loss can bring up personal feelings, especially if you have been through something similar. A birth chart can be a prompt for reflection, and many readers find a calming ritual such as a morning walk, journaling or a quiet prayer helpful. If you are struggling with trust, a relationship or your mental health, talking to a counsellor or therapist is a better first step than looking for an astrological cause. The guide on astrology apps and therapy includes helpline details.
If you want to explore your own chart, you can create a free kundli and ask questions with your own birth details, which is a more reliable starting point than a reading of someone else’s unrecorded birth time.
Frequently asked questions
Did astrology predict Jensen Huang’s resignation?
We found no dated, public prediction made before the event. Readings that appeared afterwards were written with knowledge of what happened, so they cannot be treated as predictions.
What is Jensen Huang’s birth chart?
Public sources give a date and place of birth, but we found no documented birth time. Without it, the ascendant, houses and dasha timing cannot be fixed, so any detailed chart is an assumption.
What happened to the Nvidia CEO?
According to ABC News, citing Nvidia’s statement, Jensen Huang resigned as CEO on 12 November 2026, and Colette Kress is interim CEO. The story is developing, so check a current news source.
Can astrology predict stock prices?
There is no controlled evidence that planetary positions predict share prices. Treat astrological market forecasts as opinion, and speak to a regulated financial adviser before investing.
