INTRODUCTION

This report has been written to introduce you to the concepts of astrology and how to get started with your
natal chart. Astrology is a complex and meaningful science which takes years to study and apply
successfully; however, we would like to whet your appetite with this report, and encourage you to deepen
your understanding through other means.
Astrology is a study of the connection between planets and life on earth. It is based on a concept that energy
patterns form between other planets and earth; and that these energies affect our lives as individuals and
communities.

An astrological chart, also known as a horoscope, natal chart, or birth chart, records the relationship between
the planets and the Signs of the Zodiac. Charts can be calculated for the birth of a person, a community, an
event or anything that seems momentous. The horoscope is as individual and unique as a fingerprint.

When using these interpretations, please bear in mind that, inevitably, every chart will contain some
contradictory influences, and as a result certain interpretations of different items in the same chart may seem
difficult to reconcile. However, this may still be an accurate reflection of your chart, as it is likely that you do
experience conflicting desires, events and circumstances in your life. Usually it is the responsibility of an
astrologer to synthesise these apparent contradictions in order to present a cohesive and meaningful
interpretation of the dilemmas of the chart.

Please also be aware of the fact that each person has positive and negative influences in the chart, and
therefore in their lives. The challenge is to accept and overcome the negative influences, so that we can
successfully focus on the positive traits. This report outlines both influences, and therefore parts may be
difficult to accept. Any advice given is meant to be an aid to a person taking responsibility for their own
lives. The ultimate decision rests with each individual. The author and publisher accept no liability for any
adverse effects of this report.

LIFE GOALS

If you would hit the mark, you must aim a little above it;
Every arrow that flies feels the attraction of earth.
Longfellow, Elegiac Verse 1880.
The Sun
Just as the Sun is the centre of the earth's Solar System, so does the Sun play a vital role in your life on earth.
Your life goals are linked to your Sun - its Zodiac Sign and its position in your chart. Contrary to popular
belief, the Sun isn't the only planet to be considered in a person's chart, but it is an important component. The
Sun gives you an indication of how you can shine in your life. You will feel truly alive when you're living the
traits indicated by your Sun. Therefore it's likely that you will spend much of your life on a journey to self
discovery, aiming to incorporate these traits into your life. Understanding the energy of your Sun is a good
starting point to understanding yourself and your purpose in life.
The Sun is in the 1st House
Your Sun is in the 1st House of your birth chart meaning that self-expression is an important aspect of your
life, because you believe strongly in the right of the individual. This is because it's so important for you to
have the freedom to explore your own personal interests and make your own way in the world. Some would
call you arrogant and selfish; however, you're equally determined that others should also have the ability to
express themselves. You learn most through your own experiences, rather than relying on the advice of
others. You may not realise it, but you also make a strong impression on those around you. They see you as
assertive and independent, whether you feel it or not. Of course this does depend on other influences in your
chart. You're frank and confident, proud and independent, and can be combative if you're opposed. You like
to take the initiative and have the ability to focus on your own goals and methods of doing things, rather than
adhering to popular opinion. For these reasons you're likely to be thrust into leadership roles, giving you the
opportunity to fully express yourself. In ancient times the Sun was considered particularly strong when in the
angular 1st House of a chart, highlighting your ability to live a hale and hearty life with plenty of energy to
ensure that you make an impact on your environment. It also means that you're likely to succeed in your
ambitions, and perhaps in rising above your station in life.
The Sun is in Sagittarius
Your Sun is in the Zodiac Sign of Sagittarius indicating that you're a sunny and optimistic individual, with a
love of adventure. In fact adventure plays a key role in your life, whether it be literally travelling around the
globe, or metaphorically speaking exploring the world of ideas and philosophy. You're particularly
enthusiastic about anything that expands your world and helps you forget about daily chores. Religion, law,
sport, philosophy, academia, and ethics are just some of the many areas which provide a gourmet of ideas for
exploration. For these reasons you're also likely to be attracted to people from foreign lands, who help to give
you a fresh and different perspective on life. You also enjoy setting goals, and looking forward to a new
vision provides excitement. Your excitement is contagious, and this can be uplifting and a lesson to those
around you. You are a dynamo, pulsing with energy and ingenuity. You are the leader who sets a goal, then
makes it happen, as you bring your vision to life. You are stimulating and vibrant ​ an inspiration to those
around you but you also you need to beware of grandiosity, and remember to enjoy the present moment. In
Astro Gold Birth Chart - Gianni Versace Page 7

your eagerness to embrace life and all of its possibilities you need also to be aware that others may lack your
enthusiasm. While you certainly have the ability to inspire and teach others, you need also to learn tact and
diplomacy in your approach. You may be surprised to learn that you possess a tendency to be blunt which
needs to be reined in from time to time. Nevertheless most of the time people realise that you are motivated
by good intentions and tense moments are relieved by laughter and forgiveness. Such is your sunny nature.
Sun is Conjunct Mars
The Sun and the planet Mars come into contact in your chart meaning that you're hard working and energetic,
able to tackle most of life's challenges with confidence and a positive attitude. A natural-born leader, you
prefer taking the initiative, rather than sitting back and waiting for things to happen. You're courageous and
like to take a few risks in life, particularly ones that satisfy your sense of adventure and provide an outlet for
your boundless energy. Self-motivation comes easily and you find it difficult to accept the motto that "all
good things come to those who wait". You prefer to tackle a project or problem head on rather than wait
around for a solution. While confidence and initiative are positive traits, you do need to exercise some
patience and caution. Knowing when to take risks and when to wait are both vital to a successful outcome in
any project. As long as you find positive outlets for your enterprising nature, and don't act too impulsively
you're likely to stride forth and succeed in achieving your life goals.
Sun is Trine Saturn
The Sun is making contact with the planet Saturn in your chart indicating that you're responsible and reliable.
Life is a serious business, and you're likely to adhere to the adage that "you get from life what you put into
it". This is particularly true for the areas of work and career, which are important to you. You're ambitious
and have the self discipline to succeed in your chosen profession. It's likely that you will have the chance to
take on responsibilities and prove yourself successful at some stage in your life, although you're more likely
to rise to the challenge as you grow older. Life could have been somewhat onerous as a child, and you could
have difficulty getting started on the right path. Once you've settled on your goals then you've the common
sense and self-confidence to work consistently towards successfully achieving your ambitions. It's likely that
your father has played a major role in your life either through his imposing presence or through his absence.
Your father may have earned your fear or respect leaving his mark on your character. Your father's guidance
may also have helped or hindered your progress in life. Either way he's been a significant influence in your
life. It's also possible that you took on extra responsibilities at a young age, because of your father's inability
to live up to his responsibilities. This could have been as a result of your father's own weaknesses or an
illness, or separation or even death. While you believe that certain experiences are "character building", you
may have some difficulty coming to terms with the lasting effects of your relationship with your father.
Perhaps in latter years you will gain understanding from your experiences.
Sun is Sextile Neptune
You're likely to have many dreams about what you would like to achieve in your life because the Sun is
making contact with the planet Neptune in your birth chart. Your ability to achieve these dreams depends
largely on other influences. There's no doubt that you're intuitive and talented, but other aspects of your chart
will indicate whether or not you've the practical ability needed to ensure success in a sometimes harsh world.
You're a sympathetic and kind person, who generously enjoys supporting other people in achieving their life
goals. This could range from offering a sympathetic ear to other people's troubles to working for a charitable
institution. You're wise in the ways of the spiritual world, feeling at home in the imaginative and esoteric
realms. It's the harsh realities of the material world that you find confusing. This is probably because of your
highly-sensitive nature, which is so in tune with the emotional and spiritual aspects of life. You're easily
emotionally influenced by other people and circumstances, and should therefore take care to surround
yourself with positive and uplifting friends. You're also likely to be sensitive to the physical world, reacting to
medicinal drugs or suffering from allergies. For this reason you should take care with your diet and avoid
addictive drugs. It's important that you create moments for quiet reflection, communing with nature, or
listening to beautiful music. The ocean could play a particularly important role in your life, inspiring or
soothing your sensitive nature. You need to have some freedom to daydream and to pursue your artistic
talents. This is essential if you're to achieve your life goals.
Sun is Trine Pluto
You're likely to achieve your life goals because you're a powerful person with strong leadership abilities. The
Sun is making contact with the planet Pluto in your birth chart meaning that you know when to be assertive
and when to compromise, essential qualities for succeeding in life. You're able to apply yourself to the job at
hand, concentrating your energies on any project in which you wish to succeed. You're intense, obsessive and
Astro Gold Birth Chart - Gianni Versace Page 8

have the power to achieve your goals. At times this can be disconcerting to other people, but you're unlikely
to worry about the effect that you have on other people. You like honest and direct communications, and find
it easy to rid yourself of unwanted people or situations. In fact you are somewhat intolerant of other less-
powerful people. It's likely that your father, or a strong parental figure, played an important role in your early
childhood. You learnt at an early age how to fend for yourself. As an adult you're a real go-getter. Your
challenge is to express your power in a positive manner. You may be interested in executive positions, and or
in playing a prominent role in society, such as becoming a politician.
Sun is Square Moon
When the Sun and the Moon are combining unfavourably in your chart, it means that you're likely to have
difficulty succeeding in life. You may have trouble in money matters, struggle with employment, and suffer at
the hands of other people. You should be particularly wary of troublesome women, who could create
obstacles to you achieving your goals. In some cases, this combination can also mean that you suffer from ill
health, which further hinders your chances of success.
Jupiter
The planet Jupiter also tells you about your goals in life, in particular the areas in which you are likely to
succeed. Jupiter is the planet of expansion, abundance and wisdom. Ancient astrologers believed that the
planet Jupiter had a greatly beneficial effect on a person's life.
Jupiter is in the 12th House
Jupiter is also in the 12th House of your chart signifying that in life's most despairing moments you've the
ability to dig deep into a well of optimism and overcome all difficulties. You're a kind-hearted person who
likes to help anyone who is suffering, perhaps even working in a charitable organisation. You're more likely
to work behind the scenes rather than taking on a public role, refusing to accept public accolades.
Nevertheless your good works don't go unnoticed and you're likely to benefit in other ways. It's possible that
you work in an institution such as a hospital or museum, where you can work quietly and unobserved. If you
do have an active public life, then you benefit greatly from extended periods of time spent in seclusion.
You've a great respect for ancient wisdom, the spiritual teachings of past civilisations. Secret societies may
also play a beneficial role in your life. Although you may suffer setbacks during your life, these are followed
by successful periods.
Jupiter is in Scorpio
You've the planet Jupiter in the Zodiac Sign of Scorpio in your birth chart indicating that your life seems to
reflect the adage that "life is meant to be lived to the full". You tackle most projects with zest making the
most of resources that come your way. You're industrious, ambitious and have strong will power. These
attributes stand you in good stead for the ups and downs of your life, and there are plenty of these. Life can
seem a bit of a battleground at the best of times, and birth and death play key roles in your life. You're proud
and don't like to admit how deeply some of your life events have affected you. This is particularly true of the
deaths of loved ones, which have set you on an intense search for the truth. This quest can lead to you to
delve into the mysteries of life, in particular the occult world. It also brings you into contact with people from
unusual walks of life, and some of your friends could be considered quite extraordinary. You form strong
bonds with other people, particularly with your spouse, and are privy to private information. It's also possible
that you've been entrusted with professional secrets. You're likely to benefit from enterprises undertaken with
other people.
Jupiter is Square Pluto
The planets Jupiter and Pluto are making a difficult aspect in your birth chart indicating that you've some
difficulty achieving your life goals, but you will get to where you want in the end. The problem is that you
reject the usual paths to success, believing that you've a better way of doing things. Your attempts to change
the rules, or to try to make others agree with your insights, are sincere, but intrusive. As a result you often
land yourself in troublesome situations, which can lead to disillusionment and distract you from your
purpose. This can dent your confidence. You range from over confidence to completely lacking in
confidence. The truth lies somewhere in between. Society has rules to run itself efficiently, and these can be
to your benefit rather than detriment. Once you accept your own and society's limitations then you can
achieve your objectives.

HOME

Perverse and foolish oft I strayed,

But yet in love he sought me,
And on his shoulder gently laid,
And home, rejoicing, brought me.
Hymn, The King of love my Shepherd is 1868.
The Moon
Astrologers from different schools of thought allocate varying meanings to the Moon in a birth chart. Ancient
astrologers say that the Moon changes its nature according to its phases, and merely passes on impressions
from other planets rather than directly influencing a person's life. However, modern astrologers tell us that the
Moon depicts a person's roots, our home and family. They say the Moon also shows our habitual nature or
subconscious patterns of behaviour which stand in the way of achieving our life goals. While the Moon can
show us our strengths, it can also depict our weaknesses which need to be overcome in order to be successful
in life.
The Moon is in the 4th House
The Moon is placed in the 4th House of your birth chart suggesting that your place of residence is constantly
undergoing change. This can be that you frequently move home, that your house is constantly in a state of
renovation or that the members of your household are constantly coming and going. Whatever the scenario,
it's likely that as a result your home doesn't feel secure. Perhaps this doesn't concern you, but it's more likely
that it does leave you feeling somehow without roots, perhaps even reminding you of childhood insecurities.
It is possible that you were separated from one or both of your parents at a young age, perhaps even fostered
to live with another family or adopted at birth. As an adult you may learn to adapt positively to the constant
changes in your domestic life, or you may feel a constant sense of instability. You've a strong desire to live by
the water, and this may provide a sense of deep satisfaction. You could also benefit from working on the land
or dealing in property. Depending on the other sections of your birth chart, you could benefit from an
inheritance from women. In ancient times the Moon was considered to be in a strong position when placed in
the 4th House of a chart, meaning that you're in a strong position to achieve your personal ambitions.
The Moon is in Pisces
With the Moon in the sign of Pisces you're a deeply sensitive person, who often feels misunderstood in a
harsh world. This is a strange paradox because you seem to understand others so well, empathising strongly
with their feelings. At best you're a caring and loving person, who knows how to express your sensitive
feelings through a creative form. Finding an outlet for your imaginative nature will be very soothing. You
also enjoy communing with nature, or spending time in meditation or prayer. Your sensitivity and
imagination also gives you the ability to lend a sympathetic ear to your loved ones, intuitively knowing how
to make them feel at one with the world and free from their problems. However, you need to be wary of
falling into the misunderstood victim role. Others may not always understand your need to escape from the
realities of the world. You've a highly developed emotional nature and need to escape from time to time. Be
wary of manufactured forms of escape such as hallucinatory drugs and alcohol. Rather you can focus on all
positive avenues of escapism, developing your imagination and creative talents.
Astro Gold Birth Chart - Gianni Versace Page 10

Moon is Trine Jupiter

The Moon is making a positive aspect to the beneficial planet Jupiter in your birth chart suggesting that you
enjoy your home and family life. This is a favourable aspect for health, wealth and family life. Depending on
other influences in your birth chart you're likely to enjoy good fortune with your home, and any property
investments. It's possible that you've a large family, enjoying connections with close and extended family
members. You've a generous and expansive nature and an easy-going, philosophical approach to life. This
makes your home a very hospitable environment. You enjoy catering for friends and family in your home,
and may live in a large home or in spacious surroundings. Your optimistic view on life means that you're
usually rewarded with many visitors. Family relationships are favourable, particularly with the women. It's
likely that your good fortune has been influenced by your positive relationship with your mother, or an
important female member of your family. You have fond memories of a warm and loving mother and want to
share your good fortune with others. Perhaps there's a benevolent matriarch in the family tree. In some cases
it's possible that your childhood relationship with your mother wasn't a positive experience. In this case you
may be determined, as an adult, to be everything that your mother wasn't. Either way you are likely to benefit
through your relationships with family members. You may also benefit through shared religious or spiritual
beliefs.
Moon is Square Mars
The Moon is making a difficult aspect to the planet Mars in your chart indicating that arguments and
emotional disputes abound in your home life. These upsets could be caused by another member of your
family, but it's more likely that you're quick-tempered and intolerant around your loved ones. Your intentions
are good, but you've difficulty containing your anger in certain situations. At times you feel as though you've
been unfairly misjudged and this adds fuel to your already well-lit fire. Unfortunately your impatience and
irritability can result in periods of loneliness because others would rather leave you alone than bear the brunt
of your bad moods. You may also find that your loved ones are angry at your attitude or it could be that they
simply find it impossible to relax in your company, which is a problem if they want peace and quiet at home.
You need to find an outlet for your nervous tension. For instance, letting off steam in sports or activities that
demand high energy or concentration will help. Finding an absorbing project which can be based in your
home could also prove beneficial. You certainly have plenty of energy and this could be directed into new
enterprises or working around the house.
Moon is Quincunx Pluto
The Moon and the planet Pluto are connected in your birth chart indicating that you're an intense and
emotional person, prone to extreme highs and lows. You love drama and intensity, because these give you a
sense of being deeply connected to your loved ones, and to the world. It's likely that your family and home
life are periodically emotionally volcanic. This can be problematic if other members of your family don't
desire the same level of intensity, particularly if they're seeking peace and quiet at home. If this is the case
your needs are directly opposed to your loved ones', which may not concern you, but could result in dramatic
changes in your personal life. This is also a problem because you've a deep sense of commitment to your
personal relationships, and feel betrayed if others don't share this commitment. It's likely that your need for
emotional intensity originates from an early childhood experience, probably linked with your mother or
another strong woman figure. Your relationship with your mother is likely to be immersed with intense
feelings, perhaps even stemming from a life-or-death situation. You may feel positively or negatively about
your mother. Either way your feelings are likely to be strong. You're a resourceful person, and can rely on
your own resources to solve most problems. You need to find a creative outlet for your intense nature,
something that will totally absorb your attention. Perhaps you would enjoy property development, or
renovating your house. You're a powerful person with leadership skills, and a need for a challenge.
Moon is Opposite Midheaven
Most people are influenced by their home and family, however, you are particularly sensitive to the ebb and
flow of family life. As a young child you enjoy spending time in your home, relating to those who share your
household as well as extended family members. If you grow up in a warm and supportive family environment
then you are likely to enjoy an equally happy household as an adult. If you suffer at the hands of your family
then your journey may be rockier. At some stage you are likely to break away, determined to create a sense of
security in your own home. You may start a family of your own with the view of developing a warm and safe
household. Safety and security at home are vital factors for your health and happiness. You need a safe haven.
Your home does not necessarily need to be a large mansion, but you do need to feel comfortable. You are
likely to be a force to be reckoned with in your family life. Other family members may come and go, but you
are the one likely to be a guiding hand and a comfort for family members. You may be the keeper of family
Astro Gold Birth Chart - Gianni Versace Page 11

memories with photographic displays, books, and stories to tell. The family history fascinates you, perhaps
even compelling you to research and record facts and stories. Once you feel settled in your family life and
home, then you are able to make your way in the world, choose your career path. However, family life is
likely to continue to be a priority.
Astro Gold Birth Chart - Gianni Versace Page 12

EDUCATION AND COMMUNICATION

There is no such whetstone, to sharpen a good wit

and encourage a will to learning, as is praise.
Roger Ascham, The Schoolmaster 1570.
Mercury
Our academic schooling and learning through life experience are linked to the planet Mercury. This planet
stands for the intellect, common sense, cold reason, commerce and business. It tells us about our
communication and learning habits and our modes of thinking.
Mercury is in the 12th House
The planet Mercury in the 12th House of your chart signifies that you've a lively imagination and love to
immerse yourself in a realm of fantasy. This could be your own day-dreaming and reflection or it could the
faerie-realms of a good book. This can be a drawback early in your education, but can be put to good use as
you mature. You're fascinated by secrets - other people's secrets and metaphysical secrets. Magic and the
occult world is a strong pull in your life. At times you're frightened by the extent to which you like to dabble
in the occult, but you're a risk-taker when it comes to secret adventures. It's true that you do have to be
careful not to get out of your depth. Otherwise you could find that the boundaries between reality and fantasy
become difficult to discern, and you're in danger of becoming mentally unstable. Depending on other
influences in your birth chart, it's possible that you could spend some time in a mental institution where
you're able to re-address any mental imbalances in your life. However, knowing your propensity to worry
about such things, it should be pointed out that this isn't a foregone conclusion. You're more likely to benefit
from long periods of rest and seclusion where you can quietly ponder the secret mysteries of life.
Mercury is in Scorpio
The planet Mercury in the Zodiac Sign of Scorpio indicates that you're a resourceful person, adept at delving
into the heart of matters. For this reason you're an excellent person to have around in a crisis. You know just
the right people to call, and just the right resources to call on. You're also an empathetic listener, unafraid of
confronting intimate problems. In fact you prefer to talk to people on a meaningful level, rather than
communicate on a superficial level. At social gatherings you can often be found in an intense conversation in
the corner of a room, rather than taking part in the general social chat. Communications with you are intense.
While you're good at listening to others, you can also have a tendency to be obsessed with your own
problems. You're a worrier. You do best when you can turn your resourceful and probing mind into a project
which requires concentration and research. A little intrigue would also be welcomed. You enjoy reading
novels with an intricate and absorbing plot.
Mercury is Conjunct Venus
Although not a major aspect of your birth chart, the planets Mercury and Venus are making contact indicating
that communication and learning are one of your joys in life. You're amiable and cheerful, and usually
express yourself in a loving manner. A charming person, you tend to shy away from conflict, preferring that
other people respond to you in a pleasant and polite way. When faced with unavoidable conflict, you attempt
to smooth over troubled waters rather than take a confrontational approach. You're a good talker and listener,
and genial conversations are a source of pleasure. It's likely that you also enjoy studying, perhaps more for
Astro Gold Birth Chart - Gianni Versace Page 13

fun than for achievement, although this depends on other aspects in your chart.
Mercury is Conjunct Jupiter
The planets Mercury and Jupiter are making positive contact in your birth chart indicating that you enjoy
success in your education and communications with other people. Depending on other influences in your
chart, you've the ability to think clearly and deeply, combining common sense with a cheerful outlook on life.
These attributes can be put to good use in your studies, and you may choose to pursue an academic education.
It's also possible that you prefer to learn through your own experiences. Either way you've a thirst for
knowledge and delight in sharing your discoveries with other people. You've the ability to talk to people from
all walks of life, and your ideas can be uplifting for other people. Others seem to find your candid and honest
manner refreshing. For these reasons you may spend part of your life teaching, writing, lecturing or public
speaking. You've big ideas and plans, and the ability to achieve many of your hopes and dreams.

RELATIONSHIPS

Let me not to the marriage of true minds

Admit impediments. Love isn't love
Which alters when it alteration finds.
Shakespeare Sonnet 116.
Venus
The planet Venus tells about love and relationships. It reveals the type of relationship we value, and what we
are seeking from our most intimate relationship, as well as how we like to show our love. It answers
questions such as, are we attracted to strong, sensual and intense relationships? Or do we prefer some
freedom and independence? This planet also depicts how we like to relate to our environment and other
people, not just our primary partner, and how much importance we place on money and resources.
Venus is in the 12th House
When the planet Venus is placed in the 12th House of your birth chart you're likely to enjoy your own
company, perhaps even craving the peace and quiet offered by seclusion rather than the hustle and bustle of a
hectic social life. Your friends need to respect your need to be alone at times. On occasion you don't mind
spending your time with one or two friends, particularly women friends, but "the more the merrier" is
definitely not your motto. You're more likely to be an introvert than an extrovert, revelling in a fantasy world
or in your secret pastimes. You love mystery and romance, and have more than your share of secrets, perhaps
even investigating secret arts. The worlds of magic, alchemy and astrology hold a certain appeal, as do many
of the occult arts. Your success in the world may be as a result of your investigation into the secret arts.
Success may also come as a result of your work behind the scenes in your profession, or in an institution or
charitable organisation. Your tendency to delight in secrets also includes secret lovers. For this reason you
need to be wary of secret enemies, in particular women.
Venus is in Scorpio
With Venus in the Sign of Scorpio you're ardent and passionate in your primary relationship, and insist that
your partner returns the intensity of your emotions. You're likely to enjoy the heights of passion if your love
is matched in its intensity, finding yourself thrust into a world of almost painful pleasure. Sensual pleasure is
important to you, although you also like to discover your partner's innermost thoughts and feelings. Problems
can occur when your love isn't returned, or if your partner can't keep the intense fires of passion burning.
Then you're likely to suffer the depths of despair, perhaps even resorting to manipulation in order to keep
your partner's attention. Secret liaisons could play a part in your relationships, either your own or your
partner's, particularly if the intensity becomes too claustrophobic. Jealousy and thoughts of vengeance can be
a problem, although you would be wise not to give in to follow these avenues. Your challenge is to use your
resources to find a middle path between the highs and lows of intense emotions within relationships. Your
relationships can then flourish as important resources in your life. At some stage in your life you may benefit
financially or through a legacy from an important relationship.
Venus is Trine Moon
You enjoy comfortable relationships with other people because of the favourable combination of the Moon
Astro Gold Birth Chart - Gianni Versace Page 15

and Venus in your birth chart. A charming and prudent person, you enjoy the company of other people, and
they respond favourably. You're likely to enjoy success in your primary relationship, choosing someone who
feels comfortable and companionable. You're also likely to benefit from your relationships with women.
Venus is Conjunct Jupiter
"Lucky in love and money". This could be your personal motto because the favourable planets Jupiter and
Venus are combining to shine good fortune on your relationships and finances. You're fun loving, generous
and popular. With your sympathetic and kind nature, you've a talent for putting other people at their ease.
You're optimistic and talented, full of joie de vivre. Therefore you're likely to be surrounded by supportive
friends, and many potential life partners. You're seeking a relationship with someone who will expand your
horizons, perhaps even joining your travels around the world. You love to share adventures, philosophies and
goals. Other influences in your chart may indicate that you prefer to keep the home fires burning, but it's
more likely that you seek adventure and romance with your partner.
Venus is Square Pluto
The planets Venus and Pluto are combining unfavourably in your chart suggesting that drama plays a key role
in your personal relationships. You're fiercely loyal and committed, and expect as much from your partner.
You like to feel that there is an unbreakable emotional bond between you and your primary partner. Problems
arise when you don't feel this bond with your partner, either because your partner is consumed with another
interest, or if a third person appears to be lurking on the scene. At times like these you struggle to keep things
in perspective. You're a jealous person, and quite capable of seeking revenge when wronged. You need to be
wary of this darker side of your nature, seeking help when appropriate. You need also to be careful to choose
the right person as your primary partner - someone who reciprocates your love and passion. Otherwise you
can waste a lot of time and energy trying to make a doomed relationship work. You may also benefit from
directing some of your energy into an all-consuming project, such as fighting for human rights or an intensely
creative pursuit.

MOTIVATION

Dimidium facti qui coepit habet: sapere aude.

To have begun is half the job: be bold and be sensible.
Horace, Epistles 65- 68BC.
Mars
Mars is the planet that tells us about our assertion and drive. It tells us what motivates us and what desires
drive us most powerfully. Are we ambitious for professional power, or do we desire a meaningful
relationship? Do we pursue our desires aggressively? Or do we sit back, lacking the confidence to achieve
our ambitions? These are the types of questions answered by the qualities of the planet Mars in our chart.
Mars is in the 1st House
With Mars placed in the 1st House of your birth chart you're an independent and free spirit, not afraid to meet
situations head on in order to achieve your ambitions. You're confident, courageous and have a strong drive to
succeed. This, coupled with your love of adventure, means that you can often be found at the forefront of
pioneering enterprises enjoying the challenge of striking into new territory. And woe betide anyone who
stands in your way. You are fiery and reckless - a fighter who is unlikely to admit defeat. Therefore a battle
with you is a battle to the end, whatever that end may be. You have a love of liberty, enjoying your own
freedom and respecting the rights of others. In some cases you can fight for the rights of others through
official channels or in an organised group. At times you're impatient and rash; jumping in when it's wiser to
stay put or forging ahead instead of biding your time. Mostly this doesn't worry you because you believe that
everyone creates their own fate, and you prefer to create yours by following your impulses. Ancient
astrologers believe that the planet Mars becomes more powerful when placed in the angular 1st House of a
birth chart, meaning that you're likely to make a strong impression on the world. The type of impression also
depends largely on other influences in your birth chart.
Mars is in Sagittarius
The planet Mars in the Sign of Sagittarius indicates that you have a strong desire for exploration and
adventure, anything which adds to excitement in life and teaches you more about yourself and the world.
Therefore your travel itinerary is often full, or you're full of plans for future travels. You're happy to take risks
and travel to unknown shores. The halls of learning also hold a great attraction helping you expand your ideas
and knowledge. You are enthusiastic and passionate in your approach to life and can be an inspiration to other
people. You could just as easily find yourself in the role of teacher or student. You're not afraid to speak your
mind, and in fact you have firm ideas on many subjects. This can be quite a challenge to other people, until
they realise that you're very accepting of other people's ideas and also enjoy the challenge of a good
argument. You have an energetic approach to life that can also be channelled into sports, particularly those
which involve risk-taking and adventure. You may also be interested in religion, law or military pursuits.
Mars is Trine Pluto
A favourable combination of the planets Mars and Pluto indicates that you're resourceful and have a pool of
enormous energy available when needed. Your will-power is awesome once you've decided on your
objective, and few of your friends or colleagues would stand in your way, recognising the importance you
Astro Gold Birth Chart - Gianni Versace Page 17

place on achieving your ambitions. You have the ability to work with persistence and determination, brooking
no opposition on your path. You work with intensity towards your ambitions, which are plentiful, and achieve
a great sense of satisfaction when you have reached your goal. Those who know you well also recognise a
volcanic temper when they see one. Whether you're the type to lose your cool often or rarely, you certainly
make an impact when you do! On other hand you're a great person to have around in a crisis because not
much daunts your indomitable spirit. You're capable of swift and effective actions, and commitment to seeing
something through to the end.
Mars is Opposite Uranus
The unfavourable combination of the planets Mars and Uranus suggests that you're often restless and
unsettled in your life. On the one hand you seem to have plenty of energy and drive, but on the other you're
not always sure what to do with these qualities. Life also has a tendency to upset the very best of your plans
through sudden and often inexplicable events. This can be exciting or disturbing depending on other
influences in your chart. You're enthusiastic and highly self-motivated, if somewhat impulsive, enjoying
adventure and new horizons. You're full of good ideas, and once you've determined on a course of action then
you've plenty of motivation to see it through to successful completion. You're independent and prefer to be
given plenty of room to carry through your own ideas in your own way. Be careful that a stubborn streak in
your nature doesn't prevent your overall success. It's likely that some of your friends think that you're a little
odd or eccentric, but you're not overly concerned. You like to make your own way in life, even if it does
mean that you stand out from the crowd. Full of paradoxes, you can be both arrogant or charming, which can
make you an effective salesperson.
Astro Gold Birth Chart - Gianni Versace Page 18

CAREER AND AMBITIONS

The road up and the road down are one and the same
Heraclitus, Die Fragmente der Vorsokratiker c540-480BC.
Saturn
The planet Saturn represents responsibility, boundaries and structure; structure that provides a positive
framework within which we can build, or structure that limits our development and forces us to reassess our
liabilities and assets. This planet is also linked with our ambitions, and how we approach the practical side of
life. This planet often represents the professional side of our lives.
Saturn is in the 9th House
The planet Saturn placed in the 9th House of your birth chart suggests that academic or overseas connections
are an important component in your life, and possibly your profession. A studious and meditative person, you
like to contemplate serious matters such as religion, science, philosophy, law and metaphysics. You also like
to ponder on world events, news from other countries and discoveries about other cultures. This can range
from watching documentaries on the television, to serious graduate or post-graduate studies at university or
college. Books of a serious nature line your shelves, providing hours of reading and research. You're likely to
be steadfast in your religious beliefs, perhaps even a little too rigid at times. At some stage in your life you
might decide to travel abroad to further your studies, or to take up a job. Depending on other influences in
your birth chart, it's possible that your travels are frustrated by delays and obstacles. However, if there are
positive influences then persistence, despite obstacles, pays off and you're rewarded with worthwhile results
from your trips.
Saturn is in Leo
The planet Saturn in the Sign of Leo signifies that you take pride in your work, and have an ability to build
personal authority. You've a strong will and are determined to succeed in your objectives, even if it means
forgoing a few pleasures along the way. In fact you can be passionate about the projects in which you become
involved. This positive attitude can benefit your ambitions, although at times you can display too much pride
and arrogance and other people start to resent your attitude. This is particularly true if you're placed in a
position of authority and let the power go to your head. Those working for you could resent your high-handed
approach. The reason for these difficulties, astrologically speaking, is that the planet Saturn is considered to
be in a detrimental position in the Sign of Leo. However, on the whole you're generous and can develop the
ability to achieve your ambitions through thoughtfulness and by including the ideas and plans of other
people. Your strong will-power and determination also help you overcome any obstacles strewn on your path.
Saturn is Sextile Neptune
The favourable combination of the planets Saturn and Neptune indicate that you've the ability to be both
practical and creative. If you have musical or artistic talent you have the self-discipline to make something of
your gift. Whereas other people may give up in despair, you're likely to endure through long hours of practice
in order to perfect your skills. As a result you could make a career from your artistic talents, such as
performing on stage, designing for a theatrical production, or teaching your craft. You've a good sense of
values, and an innate sense of timing. Both of these traits stand you in good stead in your career ambitions.
Astro Gold Birth Chart - Gianni Versace Page 19

It's also possible that you've a firm set of spiritual beliefs which guides your choice of life direction. In some
cases you could enjoy a career directly connected with your spiritual beliefs.
Saturn is Conjunct Pluto
The combination of the planets Saturn and Pluto in your chart suggests that you're an ambitious, insightful
and powerful person. You're likely to make a powerful impact on your friends, family, colleagues and loved
ones, both as a child and an adult. At times you might be surprised by the extent of other people's reactions to
your presence and opinions. You may even surprise yourself by your own reactions to some circumstances.
Authority is likely to be a continuing source of difficulty in your life, as you attempt to find the right balance
between your own individual rights, and those of the community. Of course there are many instances when
these two rights coincide, but you're more likely to find yourself involved in the clashes, perhaps as a
mediator. It's possible that you could become involved in someone's power struggles, in which your role may
or may not be central to the outcome. It's true that you've the ability to be a powerful leader, perhaps in the
government or armed forces, or as an executive or politician. You can be a powerful leader, but first you must
learn to use your unique insights for positive purposes. The 19th Century author John Stuart Mill said in his
work On Liberty (1859) that: "Everyone who desires power, desires it most over those who are nearest to
him, with whom his life is passed, with whom he has most concerns in common, and in whom any
independence of his authority is oftenest likely to interfere with his individual preferences". Herein lies a key
to your chart. You've the ability to succeed in your ambitions, but first you must learn how to deal with the
balance of power in your life, respecting both your own and other people's rights to succeed.
The Midheaven
The Midheaven is one of the important angles in a birth chart and is also known by astrologers as the MC or
Medium Coeli. This angle tells us of our public life, our profession and social status. In other words how we
are viewed by the public, how we want to be viewed by the public and what type of profession we are likely
to choose. It's also important to note the house position of the ruling planet of your Midheaven for further
information about your career as this can greatly influence the interpretation.
The Midheaven is in Virgo
With a Midheaven in the Sign of Virgo and ruled by the planet Mercury, you're hardworking, critical and
exacting in your profession. You prefer order at work, and like to be recognised for your high standards and
detailed work. You're known for your craftsmanship, and drive for perfection. You're attracted to any career
that best utilises your analytical and organisational skills. These could include secretarial, executive,
accountancy, research or medical jobs. The planet Mercury, which rules Virgo, also means that you could be
attracted to teaching, writing or any other career that involves communication skills. However, this will
largely depend on other influences in your chart. Examples of famous people with the same Midheaven
include media entrepreneur Rupert Murdoch, French painter Henri Toulouse-Lautrec and former UK Prime
Minister Margaret Thatcher.
Astro Gold Birth Chart - Gianni Versace Page 20

CREATIVITY AND ORIGINALITY

The artist must be in his work as God is in

creation, invisible and all-powerful; one
must sense him everywhere but never see him.
Gustav Flaubert, Correspondence 1857-64.
Uranus
The planet Uranus represents originality and unconventionality. This can be both the unusual and brilliant
genius or the wilful rebel without a cause. This planet tells us the areas in which we break with convention,
become innovative and experiment with new and exciting ways. In some circles of astrology Uranus
represents the creative genius which comes directly via our soul or higher self.
Uranus is in the 7th House
The planet Uranus is in the 7th House of your birth chart suggesting that you've a need for unconventional
relationships. Depending on other aspects in your birth chart, these relationships have a positive or negative
effect on your life. On a positive note you attract an unusual primary partner, someone who is original or
involved in an unusual occupation, perhaps even a genius in their field. Your marriage gives you just the right
amount of freedom to pursue your independent activities. You also benefit from lively and unusual business
partnerships, or a business partnership in an unusual project. On the other hand, you may experience
misunderstandings and troubles through your marriage and business relationships, which can lead to
separation and disputes, possibly even law suits. Perhaps your partner is cruel, or possibly you rushed into
these partnerships with little thought of the consequences. If you've experienced troubles in your marriage
and business partnerships, which have resulted in loss, then you would do well to avoid conventional
partnerships in the future. You would also be wise to avoid legal conflicts, because you're unlikely to benefit.
Uranus is in Gemini
The planet Uranus was in the Sign of Gemini from 1942 - 1949. It's important to note that Uranus spends a
long time in each Sign, and therefore the interpretation applies to a generation rather than the individual. For
a more individual interpretation you need to look at the house position of Uranus in your chart. Uranus in the
Sign of Gemini indicates that you belong to a generation which becomes focussed on new forms of
communication and the world's networks. This generation is responsible for original and inventive ideas
which change the world's communication network. Your creativity soars when you're tackling these issues.
Neptune
Neptune is the planet of creativity and spirituality. It represents both the bliss of spiritual attainment and the
heights of creativity. This isn't personal spirituality and creativity which comes at the expense of others, but
gifts which can benefit humanity. This planet also represents the confusion that can accompany the road to
discovering when we are being selfish, as opposed to when we are generously thinking of how our gifts can
benefit others.
Neptune is in the 11th House
The planet Neptune placed in the 11th House of your chart means that you're likely to be attracted to spiritual
and humanitarian friends or groups. If you've positive influences in your chart then you're likely to form close
Astro Gold Birth Chart - Gianni Versace Page 21

unions with spiritual or artistic friends, and groups, which greatly enrich your life. You may also have an
inspirational effect on your friends' lives, or act as inspirational catalyst in a group. However, if you've
negative influences in your chart, then you're likely to suffer at the hands of unusual and deceitful friends and
acquaintances. You may also receive bad advice from friends, which leads to loss and complications in your
life. You're more likely to benefit through your friendships if you follow your intuitive, rather than a logical
train of thought.
Neptune is in Libra
The planet Neptune was in the Sign of Libra from 1942 - 1957. It's important to note that Neptune takes
about 164 years to make a complete cycle, spending about thirteen years in each Sign, and therefore the
interpretation applies to a generation rather than the individual. For a more individual interpretation you need
to look at the house position of Neptune in your chart. Neptune in the Sign of Libra indicates that you belong
to a generation possessing the ability to view human relationships from a more spiritual overall viewpoint,
rather than the rules and regulations of the previous (Virgo) generation. It's during this time that some
confusion over right human relations may reign. People of this generation will aim to achieve a balance in
human relationships. You'll also be concerned with justice.
Neptune is Sextile Pluto
The planets Neptune and Pluto both move slowly through the zodiac, and therefore any connection between
the two planets affects birth charts for a short period of time. You were born in such a time. This combination
in your chart means that you're interested in opportunities to bring about fundamental change to human
values. You are aware of injustices in society and, depending on other influences in your chart, may prefer to
fight against them rather than sit back and accept the ills of society. Your creative urges may be linked to
politics, or expressing your political views through the arts or spiritual or charitable organisations.
Astro Gold Birth Chart - Gianni Versace Page 22

CHALLENGES IN LIFE

The spirit of self-help is the root of all genuine growth in the individual.
Samuel Smiles, Self-Help 1859.
Pluto
The planet Pluto challenges us to transform our lives by clearing out our old habits to make way for the new,
more rewarding ways of living. The process isn't necessarily an easy one, as most of us cling tenaciously to
the comfort offered by habitual patterns, and are rather scared of new paths. Pluto shows us in which areas of
our lives we need to grow, and to a certain extent whether we're likely to find the process of growing painful
or joyful.
Pluto is in the 9th House
The planet Pluto is in the 9th House of your birth chart indicating that study, religion and travel are
challenging areas in your life. You probably have a powerful drive to discover higher meanings in life, but in
some cases this placement of the planet Pluto can mean that you'll do all in your power to refuse to
acknowledge a higher meaning. Either way it's likely that orthodox religion has played a powerful role in
your life. On the one hand traditional religion may have acted as a positive avenue for your search for
meaning in life, but on the other hand you may react strongly to the dogmas of more conventional religions.
You've a strong need to form your own opinions based on your own experience and studies, rather than adopt
another person's creed. Ironically you need to beware of becoming dogmatic in your personal philosophies.
Depending on other influences in your chart it's also likely that academic study is a major challenge in your
life. This could be that you intensely pursue your studies at an institute of higher learning, or it could be that
you feel deeply disturbed by your lack of opportunities to pursue an academic course of study. Although you
may have avoided travelling to foreign countries for part of your life, once you do travel you're likely to be
changed by the experience.
Pluto is in Leo
The planet Pluto was in the Sign of Leo from 1939 - 1957. It's important to note that Pluto takes about 248
years to make a complete cycle, spending 12 - 32 years in each Sign, and therefore the interpretation applies
to a generation rather than the individual. For a more individual interpretation you need to look at the house
position of Pluto in your chart. Pluto in the Sign of Leo suggests that you belong to a generation of people
concerned with the lack of or acquiring of power. People of this generation have the ability to use power both
positively and negatively. World power and leadership are also important issues for these people.
Astro Gold Birth Chart - Gianni Versace Page 23

PURPOSE AND JOY

He who binds to himself a joy

Doth the winged life destroy
But he who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in Eternity's sunrise
William Blake, MS Note-book.
A sense of purpose can help us overcome the most onerous difficulties in our lives, by taking the focus away
from our failings and problems, and shining the light on our strengths and talents. By concentrating on our
purpose we can distract ourselves from our troubles, and maintain the forward momentum of our lives. A
sense of purpose can also lead to feelings of happiness and joy. Ancient astrologers believed that a person
could either identify with their human body and human life, or could focus on a spiritual life. A rewarding
spiritual life can help ease human pain and suffering, and inject joy into every day life. A sense of purpose
can assist the process of transferring our identification from our human selves to the spiritual sides of our
nature, and one of the greatest gifts of astrology is to help us determine our purpose.
The North Node
The North Node and South Node form an axis in astrology, which is said to represent one's destiny or
spiritual quest in life. This axis is also linked with our purpose. The North Node points to a key lesson in our
lives. It represents new experiences towards which we must aim during this life. We have already learnt the
skills of its opposite point, the South Node, in the past. Now we must grow and stretch ourselves through the
North Node.
The North Node is in the 7th House
Your North Node is in the 7th House and your South Node is in the 1st House of your birth chart indicating
that you are destined to learn as much as you possibly can about relationships. This could be a challenging
path, or it could be easy. Either way you benefit greatly through your relationship experiences, both personal
and distant associations. You may also experience a sense that many unions formed in your life are pre-
ordained. You fare best when you learn to let go of ego-centred actions and become more focused on service
to other people. You also benefit from choosing your marriage partner wisely, taking your time to consider
the union.
The North Node is in Gemini
Your nodal axis has the North Node in Gemini and the South Node in the Sign of Sagittarius denoting that
you're destined to learn to see life from other people's point of view and to become adept in the art of
communication. You've a tendency to be restless and scatty. You need to develop focus and the ability to
communicate your ideas in a way that helps the many people in your life.
North Node is Conjunct Uranus
Your destiny is linked with the discovery of new and exciting thoughts and concepts because of the
combination of the North Node and the planet Uranus. You need to make sure that you do not seek
excitement at all costs, but direct your energies wisely. In this way you'll achieve your purpose, which is
Astro Gold Birth Chart - Gianni Versace Page 24

likely to be linked with making a contribution to humanity.

North Node is Trine Neptune
You're on a spiritual quest, and your destiny is linked with expressing your artistic and creative talents. This
is indicated by the association of the North Node and the planet Neptune. Your challenge is to discover your
highest potential, which may be expressed through spiritual or artistic groups.
North Node is Sextile Pluto
You're on a quest to use your insights and personal experience to help others. This is because of the
association of the North Node and the planet Pluto in your birth chart. You may encounter traumas during
your lifetime, which will ultimately help to develop your resourceful nature.
South Node is Conjunct Sun
The South Node and the Sun are combining in a way that is inhibiting you from expressing your true
potential. You're being challenged to fully express yourself with integrity and with respect for other people's
rights. Perhaps you've a tendency to overpower other people, and now you need to do find the right blend of
asserting your own rights and listening to other people, in order that you achieve your purpose. You would do
well to remember the adage, "There's no time like the present", as you may have a tendency to avoid facing
problems and obstacles that stand in the path of your success.
South Node is Conjunct Mars
The South Node and the planet Mars are combining to suggest that you may experience difficulty being
assertive and finding the drive to succeed, or alternatively you may have a tendency to misdirect your
energies. Your current life lesson is to express your energy positively and assertively. Your talent for
independent action needs to be developed so that you can achieve your purpose.
South Node is Trine Saturn
The combination of the South Node and Saturn is a difficult one, indicating that you face restrictions in your
current life and struggle to express yourself. At times you may feel that the world is a hard place, particularly
the demands of daily life. It's possible that you've inherited some emotional or physical problems from your
father, or his side of the family, which restrict your ability to achieve your goals. These problems can be
overcome, but it's only through hard work and shouldering your responsibilities that you're likely to achieve
your purpose.
South Node is Sextile Neptune
You've a tendency to daydream and live in a fantasy world, possibly even escaping into the world of drugs
and depression. This is because of the association of the South Node and the planet Neptune in your chart.
Your quest in this life is to put your creative talents to positive use.
South Node is Trine Pluto
You've a tendency to become embroiled in the dramas and crises of life, whether they be real ones or in your
imagination. This is because of the association of the South Node and the planet Pluto in your birth chart. It's
true that you're familiar with the darker side of life: matters such as jealousy, malice, under-handed deals,
abusive behaviour, criminal elements and depravation. Your challenge is to rise above the negativity, whether
it's your own or other people's, and to use your insights and resources for the good of others. For instance you
could prove skilled in the area of crisis counselling.
The Ascendant
The Ascendant, or Rising Sign as it's sometimes called, is a key to discovering our purpose. Ancient
astrologers believed that the Ascendant depicted our primary motivation as individuals. Some believed that it
was one of the links to discovering what makes a person happy. When we're accomplishing our primary
motivation then we're happy. The more modern Esoteric astrologers believe that this sensitive chart point
reveals our soul's purpose. When we're carrying out our soul's purpose then we're joyful. They believe that
acceptance of our purpose, or fate, can help us achieve success and satisfaction, and that meditation on the
qualities of the Ascendant can help us focus on our life's purpose.
The Ascendant is in Scorpio
The Sign of Scorpio is considered to be "feminine" by Ancient astrologers suggesting that you're more likely
to wait until you feel comfortable before pursuing your purpose. You're also likely to depend on other people
to take the initiative. Scorpio is also a Fixed Sign denoting fixity of purpose, resolution, self-reliance and
independence.
Astro Gold Birth Chart - Gianni Versace Page 25

You're shrewd, resourceful, perceptive, secretive, proud, and reserved. You're fated to experience some
battles in life, resulting in possible crises in your emotional state, your physical health or your public status.
The key to achieving your true purpose is to act with integrity at all times. You've a strong will, which is best
applied to achieving positive results rather than to the thoughts of jealousy and revenge, which linger in the
back of your mind. The insights that you gain along life's treacherous path are invaluable, and can be shared
with others in a way that benefits all concerned..

In Esoteric astrology the Sign of Scorpio is linked with regenerative power. Like the phoenix you've the
ability to rise from the ashes in a transformed state. Your purpose is connected to shedding spiritual light on
dark secrets and taboo subjects, and to sharing your spiritual insights with other people.

CONCLUSION
The text in this report has been written by Australian astrologer Stephanie Johnson. About the Author: The
text in this report has been written by astrologer Stephanie Johnson. Stephanie was a journalist in Australia,
England and the USA for 15 years before becoming a professional astrologer. She is currently the sole
director of Esoteric Technologies Pty Ltd, and one of the creators of Solar Fire and Astro Gold. Stephanie is

Stephanie has a background in medieval astrology which can be detected in the direct style of the report.
Medieval astrologers differed from modern-day astrologers in several ways. They didn't have a psychological
approach to chart interpretation, but took a much more literal approach. They were very much concerned with
the fortunes of an individual, whether a person would survive or not, and whether or not the person would
experience good or failing fortunes. The author's particular area of interest in Esoteric astrology can be
mainly detected in the section labelled "Purpose and Joy". In Esoteric astrology the purpose of an individual
is linked to the soul. In other words it is believed that our souls determine our sense of purpose in the world,
motivating us to put our gifts to good purpose.
