Siblings, Strife, and Teresa Giudice's Birth Chart

I appreciate public figures, especially reality stars, for putting themselves out there despite the fervent gossip and scrutiny. One reality star who consistently delivers captivating storylines is Teresa Giudice from Bravo's Real Housewives of New Jersey. Love her or hate her, she brings the goods.

Teresa's on-screen journey has showcased her four daughters growing up, infamous table flipping, intense family conflicts, prison time, her first husband's deportation, parental loss, and finding love again. In this piece, I'll interpret parts of her birth chart and what it has to say about her strained relationship with her brother Joe and sister-in-law Melissa.

Teresa is a Gemini rising, reflecting her adaptable, fun-loving, silly, and sometimes light-minded nature. However, her chart's ruling planet, Mercury, resides in the 12th house in Taurus, emphasizing hidden information and secrecy. Loyalty is intertwined with her need for secrecy. She will keep your secrets if you keep hers. Revealing information about her without consent is a surefire way to declare war. It's also worth noting that the 12th house can represent institutions like jail, solitude, hidden illness, and hidden enemies, among other things in life that are not always visible.

Being on national television has forced Teresa to reveal aspects of her life she would probably rather keep private. Viewers appreciate being let into her struggles. Her favorite movie, The Godfather, underscores the importance of family, secrecy, loyalty, and revenge. In a short-lived truce between her and Melissa in season 6, she even had Melissa watch it with her.

With the Sun also in the 12th house, there's a connection to the house that has Leo (the only zodiac sign ruled by the Sun) on the cusp. For Teresa, this is the third house, representing siblings and extended family. Joe and Melissa's secret entry into RHONJ in season 3, along with her first cousin Kathy Wakile and family, hurt Teresa, and their conflicts became central storylines from the moment they joined the franchise. The constant cycle of secrecy and revelation has repeatedly torn Teresa and her brother apart.

Money and livelihood are involved with the Moon being in Leo, the moon rules Teresa's 2nd house which speaks to our relationship with our personal finances, livelihood, and material possessions. The chain of rulership in Tre's chart goes from money and livelihood (2nd house) being connected to her brother and extended family and local community (3rd house) to hidden information and enemies (12th house), and then back to money again with Taurus' ruler in the 2nd house, along with Mars the planet that will cause Teresa the most difficulty in life.

Reality TV thrives on conflicts, exposing secrets, and betrayals. Teresa is no angel. She has played her part in stirring up drama, such as at the very least allowing a setup in season 4 which suggested Melissa had a secret past as an exotic dancer (at most she orchestrated the setup). In the current season, she allowed hearsay about Melissa being unfaithful to circulate on camera.

The reunion teaser shows Teresa accusing Melissa of reporting her and her ex-husband Joe Giudice's hidden financial situation to the U.S. government, which ultimately led to their imprisonment and Joe's deportation, severing their immediate family. This aligns with the birth chart, indicating hidden enemies within Teresa's extended family and sibling group. Although this doesn't make it true, from an astrological perspective, it certainly could be true. Then, there's Tre's new husband, Louie, saying his friend is an accomplished private investigator who has dirt on everyone. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

Ultimately, if Teresa, her brother, and her extended family can't work together off-camera, they'll never be able to work together on camera, especially in the drama-thirsty Housewives environment that is their livelihood. That's the name of the game; however, for this family, it's quite tragic. The birth chart shows that the focus of this relationship isn't on love, it's on money, backstabbing, and secrets — all the things that make reality TV tantalizing. Sometimes the only solution is to say good-bye.

Thanks for looking into the stars with me,

Of course there’s much more that can be said about Teresa’s chart, let me know what aspects of her life you’d like to know more about!

Best always,
