Did you know that the scale is a chef's sign? That's why it is Carlo Cracco's Birth Chart
The chef Carlo Cracco is the “editor for a month” of the October issue of La Cucina Italiana which is, coincidentally, also the month in the sign of libra. A sign that belongs to him – today we are celebrating his birthday – and that also characterizes other illustrious colleagues such as Davide Oldani and Massimo Bottura (also protagonists of the July and August collector's issues).
Venus and Saturn. That is beauty and rigor. These are the planets that govern Libra, a sign in the perennial search for balance, harmony, "perfection" in a broad sense (and aesthetics in the first place). When these yearnings are channeled into the profession of chef, they translate into elegant shapes and substances of the dishes that, even before seducing the palate, seduce the eye. A bit like it happens to the natives of this sign themselves who, not infrequently, are cool with fear (although they tend to be as warm as a glacier in the Dolomites) and stimulate appetites of another nature. If we really wanted to appeal to the essential symbols of the zodiac, Libra would not be a sign poured out for the kitchen.: the omnivorous Taurus, the gargantuan Sagittarius, the traditional Cancer and even the frugal (only apparently) Capricorn beat him by several points. However, under the sign of Libra were born Massimo Bottura, world-famous superstar, Davide Oldani, promulgator of the “pop cuisine”, accessible and of high quality, as well as of the simple, essential, elegant mise en place, in perfect Lybra Style; Luigi Giudici and Andrei Chioibas, a young Nigerian chef who called his restaurant “La Bilancia”, in honor of the zodiac sign of all three members of his family. But the post-modern myth of our home, the most famous aristocratic Libra who respectfully calls "her" in the kitchen, is undoubtedly Carlo Cracco, a demanding and feared judge, a television celebrity who in the seventh sign also presents both the ascendant and Mercury , the latter symbol of clarity of judgment and an eternally young spirit. The Moon in Pisces in trine to Neptune is for Cracco the source of a thousand unconventional inspirations, Venus Scorpio in the "greedy" second house gives him a visceral love for his profession, Mars in the cosmopolitan Sagittarius is the astrological spy of his international fame. But one thing, above all, emerges from his stars: it is not true that Cracco is as inflexible and "tutor" as he appears. His nature, on the other hand, is empathic and unexpectedly sensitive, his heart has a corner often imbued with beloved-hated solitude, his soul is sometimes prey to emotional storms that are not easy to quell. But those unfamiliar with astrology cannot suspect it … So happy birthday wishes to Cracco, multifaceted lord of the art nouveau of the kitchen, who has the intransigent Saturn on his face and the magmatic Venus in his heart …
