Gordon Ramsey

We are going to analyze the chart of a world-famous Chef and restaurateur – Gordan Ramsey. Among the many sources available that cite his date of birth, November 8, 1966 comes to be the general consensus. 

However, there are conflicting information regarding the exact time of birth except for the fact that he was born in the Sun Mahadasha. According to one of the highly rated agencies that has been providing birth charts for over two decades we are going to analyze the chart with 6:05 PM Scottish time as the time for Ramsey’s birth. With all the cross verification this seems to be the correct time indeed.

Ramsay has described his father as ‘occasionally violent’ as well as ‘hard-drinking womanizer’. Look at the sun, the significator of father debilitated in his 5th house. Further, Sun is posited in the 9th from Arudha Lagna which is again the place for his father. He did not have any sort of support from his father while growing up, Saturn placed in the 9th house made sure that this was the karma for him in this life. 

Despite being in the spotlight, revered by aspiring chefs, he is controversial with his style. Whether that be dismissing people just like that or foul mouthing or berating wannabe chefs. Rahu in Arudha Lagna gives him this personality. Also notice Rahu is placed in the lagna of Navamsa meaning his true personality will be revealed with age in time.  Previously he was diffident under Marco Pierre White’s mentorship. 

Jupiter in 2nd house of food intake exalted in cancer means Gordon is going to taste plenty and different sets of food as is evident from his work as a judge in the MasterChef or his program Kitchen Nightmare. However, the exalted Jupiter belies the real quality of Jupiter. In the D9 chart Jupiter is conjunct Rahu and Mars, two malefics meaning he will not like the food he will consume, and he will consume food which is going to be raw, stale, burnt, among other ways of being unpleasant. 

His overall personality is a childlike enthusiasm and speaking is his most cherished trait. He is funny, witty. He is one of few chefs who is not afraid to put forward fast food type menus. His menu types are simple one pager and he frowns upon complex décor. All of this because of his Gemini rising.

Coming to his D10, he has his Saturn conjunct debilitated Rahu in the 6th house. See the Rashi chart, the sixth is occupied by lagna lord mercury again in the sign of Scorpio. Scorpio signifies dark waters, where emotions run high. Scorpio is a vengeful sign with the graha of communication placed in Scorpio no wonder heated confrontations mark his argument style. 

Mercury is placed in the Anuradha nakshatra - symbolized by the lotus, this nakshatra has the power to blossom in any situation similar to how lotus blooms in the muddy waters. Scorpio being the sign of transformation. Gordon with his lagna lord mercury placed in the 6th house of enmity has the natural ability or life direction to hard talk and argue leading to positive transformation. 

In the D10, 10th house is occupied by Mars with A2 placed in it, no wonder he is a chef. Cluster of planets placed in the 12th house signifies he has more hidden enemies at work than he can see and perceive. Lagna in Indra amsa means he has to lead. Debilitated Sun is Exalted in Navamsa, early life troubles and arrogance is going to give way to excellent post midlife prestige. Exalted Sun in the 7th house of business means he is going to become a successful businessman in the later years of his life. 

In the Vimshottari Mahadasha Gordon is running the Saturn period from May of 2022, which is going to be tough not only because it is malefic but because Saturn is the atmakaraka for Gordon. This period will bring him enough material success since Saturn is present in its mooltrikona but greater soul suffering for purification.
