Rashi Chart – D1 Navamsa Chart – D9
Signora Prada shines brightly with both of the luminaries, the Sun and Moon exalted in the signs of Aries and Taurus respectively. Not only is her Sun exalted but it happens to be her Atmakaraka (AK)- soul significator in a royal sign. The Moon (PK) represents the father in this life.
One could say, Mrs Prada has regality in speech, actions with supreme tastes for the finer things in life. Her ascendant lord Jupiter – the greatest beneficial planet is in own sign of Sagittarius with full ‘Tattva Power’ of fundamental truth, that of akasha ‘either’ in the 10th house – the best house in astrological charts and aspects the Pisces ascendant giving huge intelligence and creative work associated with Venus the significator for creative arts and clothes. Sun conjoins Rahu in Aries, Moon conjoins Mercury in Taurus, these are not great combinations, however, both are open to change over time. Mercury is connected to Venus in Gemini and during the age span of 20 – 26 years there would have been a major change of direction in life. Furthermore, Venus is placed in the Arudha lagna, her image seen by others, allowing Miuccia to outshine many creatively in the world of fashion. As she was born on Sunday and Moon is in “the stars” of Krittika Nakshatra with Sun as the lord, the ‘Agni Tattva’ – fire energy to achieve success and prominence is truly outstanding.
In comparison, the other ascendant lord of Ketu is not as well placed in Libra, there would have been an internal battle to overcome in her thought process pertaining to all aspects of professional life.
The support came from the other great beneficial planet Venus and this planet the 3rd lord placed in the 4th house with dig bala – directional strength associated with Jupiter the ascendant lord in the 10th house and the 7th sign of Virgo relates to intelligence, command of language and business related matters.
The quadrants (1H, 4H, 7H, & 10H) in her astrological chart are extremely strong and where she would have great access to resources and support with regards to self expression, education / homes, relationships and career.
Q/ Could Mrs Prada have achieved huge financial success and prominence in any professional field, or was her grandfather’s desire for her to follow his footsteps the sure path to major prominence in the creative field of fashion design?
Originally, Mrs Prada trained briefly to become an actress and earned her PhD in Political Science. Mercury in her astrological chart is weak, therefore, she would have encountered major obstacles to attain an acting career.
At the age 28 years, Muicca took over the Milan-based luxury leather goods company that her grandfather had founded in 1913. Although she initially was somewhat reluctant to step into the position of head designer, she created a line of handbags in 1985 that made a huge impact in the fashion world. Prada bags quickly became the accessory of choice for fashion models and movie stars.
From Karakamsa – the lagna sign of her soul, that of Scorpio in the D9, Moon aspects the ascendant and Sun Atmakaraka, showing creative talent from past life. In the Dasamsa Chart – D10, Venus placed the sign of Leo gave her the eyes for design and with Ketu, Jupiter and Saturn exalted conjoined Rahu, technical and research abilities to work in the private sector.
In her navamsa chart – D9, looking at the trines 1, 5, 9 houses, there is Sun in the ascendant, Moon as the lord of 7H for marriage and 9H for relationships and dharma placed in the 5th house in time exchanges with Jupiter in the 7th house of relationships. It was in 1978, that Miuccia met the industrialist Patrizio Bertelli, owner of Luna Rossa, at a trade show, and he soon became CEO of Prada. While initially a business ‘match’, constant contact between the two became personal and they married eight years later. They have two sons.
