Chef Gordon Ramsay, born on the 8th November 1966 won TV personality of the year in March 2008. His views are often attacked by the media but he remains an international media celebrity admired for his cooking, his entertaining TV programs and his business acumen.

Enigmatic, penetrating and ruthless, the intensity he puts into everything is typical of Scorpios. The Sun in Chef Ramsay's chart links with Venus, Mars, Saturn and Neptune making him power-driven, highly sexed with a restrained violence that Saturn helps to hold in check.

Mars in Virgo opposing his natal Saturn is indicative of the intense energy he will direct into his business affairs and goals. Saturn can be a restrictive influence, hampering him from achieving some aims. Gordon's aspiration to be a professional footballer came to a sharp halt after a knee injury. Saturn however rewards effort and perseverance. Gordon instead turned to hotel management school. He worked for three years in France with master chefs until in 1993 he took the reins of the newly opened Aubergine and in 1998 at the age of 32, Chef Ramsay opened his first restaurant. This was quickly recognised as being one of the best in the world and was awarded three stars by Michelin.

The Scorpio who has willpower, persistence and insight will succeed at anything he puts his mind to. Scorpios love to be in control and every Scorpio carries within him a need to perform to the best of his ability at all times.

With Mars close to Uranus and Pluto, Gordon's energy is dynamic and he will crash through obstacles, hating restrictions, hating routine and feeding on excitement and stimulation. If life gets too dull, he'll stir things up just for the hell of it. His fierce temper and foul language has made him a TV favourite. His programs Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares and Hell's Kitchen are popular both in the UK and America.

Scorpios can be devious and Chef Ramsay has been known to be scheming and manipulative. He also has a more private side that the public will never get to see. He is a devoted husband, enthusiastic father and he has a strong humanitarian side which will show in his involvement in charity events. His transits in 2008 suggest he will continue to capitalise on his business success and popularity. 2009 will bring a sudden about turn in events. This will unsettle both his personal life and his career; he may even see a reversal in fortune either through circumstances or as a result of his own rebellious nature.
