Gok Wan is most famous for his television programme for women 'How To Look Good Naked'. Not formally trained in fashion styling, he has nevertheless made a name for himself by transforming women's images of themselves and radically altering the way they dress.
Having studied performing arts at college he went to London's Central School of Speech and Drama, but left after a year. He worked as a hair and make-up artist before moving on to his current focus. Describing himself as 'seriously into clothes', his work has been published in magazines like Tatler, Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan, and more.
His birth time's not known but here's his chart calculated for noon, with the house cusps removed. The Moon is shown in Cancer, where it was all day until it moved into Leo just after 10pm BST.
Obviously what stands out is five planets in Libra, the sign of adornment and feminine sexuality and looking good. With Sun conjunct Mars he is a forceful character, not hesitant to use his sharp eye and to cut - literally and otherwise - through what doesn't work, moving decisively to what does.
Most interestingly he has Venus conjunct Pluto. Venus is the planet of women in general, and of adornment - it's the 'ruler' of Libra. Pluto is the planet of - it's almost a cliché - transformation. Pluto, ruler of the underworld, is associated with experiences where you start off feeling pretty terrible, you journey down into the underworld, changing as you go, then emerging out the other side with a new lease of life.
