Sun in Leo 6°01' Ascendant in Scorpio 20°31' MidHeaven in Virgo 4°26' Italian fascist dictator who allied himself with Hitler during World War II and who was executed and hung with his mistress on April 28, 1945. |
| Ascendant in Scorpio gives Benito Mussolini his stern, intense, and forbidding exterior. Moon, Mars, Saturn, and Pluto all in Gemini helped him to become an expert communicator and propagandist. He had total control of the Italian media and published his own newspaper and memoirs. He also liked to ride a bicycle. Sun and Mercury in Leo was his core nature -a very proud and grandiose man who dreamt of re-establishing or reviving a Roman empire of sorts with himself at the helm. This empire started to coalesce with his annexation of Albania and his victorious marches into Libya and Ethiopia, but the Allied invasion in 1943 soon put a stop his dream and he was stripped of command and exiled to a mountain in central Italy. Venus and Jupiter in Cancer gave him a love and respect for home and family life and he did everything he could provide his country with the security and provisions that it needed. Italy is strongly influenced by the sign of Cancer wih its emphasis on family, food, and housing. Uranus in Virgo gave him a practical and technical kind of genius while Neptune in Taurus made him dream of wealth and territorial acquisition. | |
