Giorgio Armani Horoscope

About Giorgio Armani

Giorgio Armani was one of the most respectable and influential designers in the history of fashion. Hailing from Italy, his creations are said to have a timeless and elegant quality. Armani is known for softening traditional and stiff menswear and adding sleek silhouettes to women’s flowing lines. He is noted for saying, “I was the first to soften the image of men, and harden the image of women. I dressed men in women’s fabrics, and stole from men what women wanted and needed—the power suit.” He practised a minimalist approach in dressing up people.

As a young man, Armani studied medicine for three years but quit it midway to join the army. Eventually, he became a window dresser and sales clerk at a department store, which launched his interest in fashion. Subsequently, he began to design menswear. After a decade or so, he co-founded the fashion house of Armani with Sergio Galeotti, an architectural draftsman. Armani took his creative expertise to many areas, such as designing costumes for movies, and creating accessories, eyewear, fragrances, and interior décor. He also designed sportswear for football clubs and the Olympics. He brought his trademark minimalism and sophistication to all he touched.

Armani attempted to practise ethical fashion by banning underweight models, and by being among the first luxury fashion names to take up the challenge to use recycled material in his work, promoting sustainable fashion.  He is also known for being the first in the world to broadcast his haute couture line live over the internet, which he did in 2007.  

A multi-talented visionary, Armani brought a quiet refinement to his work, which spoke for itself and showed why he is considered a maestro of modern elegance. 

Overall Planetary Placements in Giorgio Armani’s Horoscope

Armani is Gemini Moon sign and its lord, Mercury, is in retrograde status, helping him rise and achieve fame on an international level. Known for deconstructed and minimalist outlines and silhouettes, Armani’s clothes are said to have redrawn feminine and masculine styles and elegance in a modern form, which came from the energy of retrograde Mercury and its impact on his skills and decisions.

Armani grew up with an older brother, Sergio, and a younger sister, Rosanna. A strong Venus, gave support from his older brother. A retrograde Mercury and the impact of Jupiter, the 10th lord of career in the 4th house from his Moon sign Gemini, gave him a job as an accountant with a transport company in the initial phase of his life. Eventually, 10th lord Mars in the 12th house gave him fame and success in the international market.

Mars, a fiery planet, is with the Sun (which loses its directional strength in the 12th house), causing challenges related to physical pain—which he faced when he was burnt gravely by an artillery shell that detonated while he was playing with it, killing one of his close friends.

Major Planets and Positive Yogas for Armani’s Success

• Anapha Yoga: Venus in the 12th house from the Moon gives Anapha Yoga. This makes the person good-looking and ready to help others. It gives a sweet voice and attractive look with a unique style of work. Much of his creativity came from Venus, the planet of art and fashion, and the Moon, a benefic.

The Challenging Yogas in Armani’s Chart

• Nissva Yoga: Sun rules the 2nd house and is placed in the 12th house, losing its directional strength, causing challenges in terms of having stability and financial support in the initial phase of his life.
• Moon-Mars-Mercury Yoga: This planetary conjunction causes instability and lack of support in the initial phase. Mars in the 12th house gave him challenges in the initial phase through financial and fire-related matters. Mercury and the Moon in the 12th house cause vulnerability due to World War II.
