Douce France

Do you know this face? No? Okay, another question then. Do you know these titles: “Alien”, “Blade Runner”, “Gladiator”? Aha, you know… Then you should know this face: this is director Sir Ridley Scott.

Why do I write about this? Because I am just back after yet another masterpiece of his, “A Good Year” with Russell Crowe. The movie is nothing but a plain love story saying that better to be a prosperous winemaker in France than a successful broker in London. We didn’t know that, eh? But this one happened to be such a witty and exciting thing, such a rare creature in the modern cinema, such a beautiful piece of true art…

This is very English: to love France (I didn’t say French)! Always sunny country, full of food, wine and love. My astropuzzle was: why did Sir Ridley Scott shot this movie at his 70? You know that joke about Mozart and vitamins… We, astrologers, have our humble fun of knowing, right?

After some goooogling, I have realised that Mr Scott has been happily dating (after two divorces, Venus in Scorpio) a Latinos beauty, Ms Giannina Facio, who appears in all his movies since 2000:

And here is the synastry chart:

External circle is for Mr Scott - he is Sagittarius, whereas his lady is Virgo. So, what inspires him for cinematographic hymns?

We see quite an exceptional agreement of Moons, Suns and Mercuries, and nicely looking Venus-Mars connection. Maybe that Saturn of hers is not too friendly to his Mars and Moon, but beautiful women are expected to have little weaknesses. Both have afflicted Venuses, and this too helps: partner with similar problems always understands better.

See? What love does to people? After “Alien” and “Gladiator”, the old good European style… Back to roots, driven by happiness…

Hi Valerie :0)

What about her Venus conjunct his Neptune?

Purity of affection, tenderness of feeling, illusionary glamour, compassionate understanding, and self-sacrifice come to mind. As this is an aspect of ‘inspiration’ perhaps Miss Facio is responsible for some of Ridley Scott’s visionary insights shown to us via his Films?

Hello CarO :o)

I too noticed this, that's why I left Ne in the chart for those who prefer the spiced tradition.

I think quite the same inspirational description may be derived from those stellium sextiles and from conjunction Me-Rahu & trine Me-Ju (and from the less reasonable square Ju-Mo,Ve). The lady makes him to generate ideas.

This way or the other, truth can be reached, indeed.
