A sensational story of murder, madness, glamour and greed – and all true – is a perfect movie scenario. Ridley Scott’s House of Gucci, released later this month, stars Lady Gaga as Patrizia Reggiani, former wife of Mauricio Gucci from the Italian fashion house, who hired a hitman to kill him to prevent his remarriage, protect her alimony payments and ensure his fortune went to her daughters. The daughters knew nothing of the plot and have distanced themselves from their mother since her release from a long prison sentence.
Patrizia Reggiani was born poor on 2 December 1948 7.30am Vignola, Italy with no knowledge of her biological father. She married Mauricio Gucci against his father’s wishes, who thought she was a gold digger.
She has an upfront, exuberant, fiery Sagittarius Sun on her Ascendant, helping her become a fixture on the New York socialite scene for some years, friendly with Jackie Onassis. She more significantly has an ambitious, go-getting Mars Jupiter in Capricorn on the cusp of her 2nd house of money opposition a risk-taking and volatile Uranus.
When he was bumped off in 1995 her Solar Arc Pluto was exactly square her Jupiter Mars, ramping up her greed. Her Solar Arc Uranus was conjunct her Pluto, turning her life upside down but not quite in the way she had though; and tr Pluto was in a devastating conjunction to her Solar Arc Neptune in the aftermath.
Her husband Mauricio, 26 September 1948 1.10 am Florence, Italy, had Sun Neptune in Libra but he was no pussycat having also an ultra-determined Mars in Scorpio square Pluto Venus in Leo. Mars Pluto appears to be a family signature handed down from the original founder Guccio Gucci born in 1881 which tends to breed hostility and bitterness and no surprises that later generations were all at loggerheads.
Patrizia’s Sun was in his 5th house so a good companion for an active social life and for children but her Pluto, like his, falls in his 2nd house so tussles over money were to be expected. Her Venus in seductive Scorpio was conjunct his South Node and indeed her own – so a relationship that played to a less evolved tune.
Their relationship chart had the composite Sun conjunct South Node as well; with the tr North Node conjunct when he was killed. Karma at work. On his personal chart his Solar Arc Moon was exactly conjunct his Pluto and square his Mars – the family curse came back to bite him.
I started looking up their charts last night after my friends mentioned the movie and storyline. I’m glad you brought it up too. Their lives sound like a soap opera!
