Tom Ford

Earth takes five of his ten planets, water three, and a single one each in fire and air, with four of the ten cardinal and four mutable. The Sun, Mercury and Pluto fill twelve degrees of Virgo. The record says Ford rebuilt Gucci in the 1990s and then directed A Single Man.

This chart holds two yods and neither one can be used, which is worth stating rather than quietly dropping. A yod is an unresolved figure, and both of his run through the Moon, one with Jupiter and Uranus and one with Saturn and Uranus. His Moon sits on the twenty seventh degree of Pisces at noon with Aries still possible, so it is left out, and both figures go with it, along with the second closest contact in the chart. Without a birth time this chart loses more structure than most do. For a record that gives one brand rebuilt and one film directed, losing both figures leaves this entry leaning on a single contact.

Venus sits in direct opposition to Jupiter at under seven tenths of a degree, and the standing reading is pleasure without a brake: overindulgence, extravagance, and valuing more of something when the problem was never quantity. Landed on a designer the record credits with rebuilding a luxury brand, that looks like a direct hit, and the two things are worth separating carefully. The reading describes an appetite in a person. The record describes a commercial recovery at a company. Selling luxury as a trade and extravagance as a trait are not the same thing, and this chart has no way of telling which of them it is talking about.

Mars sits in quiet contact with Pluto at nine tenths of a degree, power under command: strategic effort, and strength that does not need to be demonstrated, which for a record whose second fact is a change of trade into film is the contact with the most in it. Five planets in earth with one each in fire and air is the balance here, a chart weighted almost entirely towards what gets made and kept rather than towards what is said about it. Venus sits on the last two degrees of Cancer and Jupiter on the last degree and a half of Capricorn, retrograde, so two more planets sit on a threshold. Jupiter and Saturn were the two retrograde planets. Jupiter came back to its Capricorn birth degree on 12 December 2020, at fifty nine, and four laps precede it.
