Birth Chart Report for Riccardo Patrese
LIFE GOALS
The Sun
Just as the Sun is the centre of the earth's Solar System, so does the Sun play a vital role in your life on earth. Your life goals are linked to your Sun - its Zodiac Sign and its position in your chart. Contrary to popular belief, the Sun isn't the only planet to be considered in a person's chart, but it is an important component. The Sun gives you an indication of how you can shine in your life. You will feel truly alive when you're living the traits indicated by your Sun. Therefore it's likely that you will spend much of your life on a journey to self discovery, aiming to incorporate these traits into your life. Understanding the energy of your Sun is a good starting point to understanding yourself and your purpose in life.
The Sun is in the 9th House
Your Sun is in the 9th House of your birth chart meaning that you're likely to succeed through your involvements in the church, universities, publishing houses, law, or travel - or a combination of all of these areas. You're also likely to have a desire to explore philosophy or science, because you want to develop intellectually. You're searching for truths which can stand the test of time, either philosophical or scientific truths or both. Once you've satisfied yourself that you've discovered some truths, then you're likely to want to give others the benefit of your knowledge. Therefore you can be both the student and the teacher during your lifetime. It's possible that religion plays an important role in your life, whether it be orthodox or liberal religious ideals of your own or in your family background. Depending on other sections of your chart, you've a well-balanced approach to religion, and are tolerant of other people's beliefs. You're likely to benefit and succeed through your connections with foreign people or organisations and travelling abroad. You're a self-reliant, independent person who is also likely to move to a foreign country either for a short period of time or to take up permanent residence at some stage in your life.
The Sun is in Aries
Your Sun is in the Zodiac Sign of Aries indicating that you're an assertive and freedom-loving individual, with a strong need for independence. Others may call you headstrong, but you simply believe that everyone has a right to assert themselves in any situation. Life presents many challenges which you enjoy meeting head-on regardless of the obstacles along the way. In fact you've some difficulty understanding other people who may lack your courage. Rather than becoming impatient, you could find yourself paving the way for others who lack your initiative. You're a natural-born leader. The qualities which propel you into leadership roles can also be a hindrance to long-term success unless you take time to harness the energy positively. For instance the initiative and love of challenge which sees your meteoric rise to the top can result in burnout if you fail to slow down. "Less haste more speed" could be a helpful motto. You will also lose friends and support along the way if you don't kerb your impatience with others who fail to keep up the pace. You would be wise to remember the story of the hare and tortoise as you race along through life. The ability to focus on one's own goals to the exclusion of others is a healthy trait, but like all things a balance is needed, and you must make sure that you take the time to include others' points of views and modus operandi. On the whole though you handle yourself with aplomb as, astrologically speaking, the Sun is exalted in Aries emphasising the strengths rather than the weaknesses. Therefore you're likely to succeed in areas of your life that require initiative, independence and quick action.
The Sun is Trine Mars
The Sun and the planet Mars come into contact in your chart meaning that you're hard working and energetic, able to tackle most of life's challenges with confidence and a positive attitude. A natural-born leader, you prefer taking the initiative, rather than sitting back and waiting for things to happen. You're courageous and like to take a few risks in life, particularly ones that satisfy your sense of adventure and provide an outlet for your boundless energy. Self-motivation comes easily and you find it difficult to accept the motto that "all good things come to those who wait". You prefer to tackle a project or problem head on rather than wait around for a solution. While confidence and initiative are positive traits, you do need to exercise some patience and caution. Knowing when to take risks and when to wait are both vital to a successful outcome in any project. As long as you find positive outlets for your enterprising nature, and don't act too impulsively you're likely to stride forth and succeed in achieving your life goals.
The Sun is Trine Pluto
You're likely to achieve your life goals because you're a powerful person with strong leadership abilities. The Sun is making contact with the planet Pluto in your birth chart meaning that you know when to be assertive and when to compromise, essential qualities for succeeding in life. You're able to apply yourself to the job at hand, concentrating your energies on any project in which you wish to succeed. You're intense, obsessive and have the power to achieve your goals. At times this can be disconcerting to other people, but you're unlikely to worry about the effect that you have on other people. You like honest and direct communications, and find it easy to rid yourself of unwanted people or situations. In fact you are somewhat intolerant of other less-powerful people. It's likely that your father, or a strong parental figure, played an important role in your early childhood. You learnt at an early age how to fend for yourself. As an adult you're a real go-getter. Your challenge is to express your power in a positive manner. You may be interested in executive positions, and or in playing a prominent role in society, such as becoming a politician.
The Sun is Opposite The Moon
When the Sun and the Moon are combining unfavourably in your chart, it means that you're likely to have difficulty succeeding in life. You may have trouble in money matters, struggle with employment, and suffer at the hands of other people. You should be particularly wary of troublesome women, who could create obstacles to you achieving your goals. In some cases, this combination can also mean that you suffer from ill health, which further hinders your chances of success.
The Sun is Opposite Neptune
Your lack of confidence is likely to stand in your way in achieving your life goals. This is because the Sun is making a difficult aspect to the planet Neptune in your birth chart. You're a sympathetic and kind person, but you're apt to be overwhelmed by the injustices of the world. As a result you lose sight of your goals and become confused about your direction. It's also possible that you allow other people to tell you how to live your life. You're so eager to please others, that you find it difficult to assert your own rights and beliefs. At times like these you may benefit from moments of quiet reflection, or meditation, which enable you to develop an ability to rely on your own inner resources. It's possible that your confusion stems from childhood experience with your father, or a father figure. Perhaps this person was weak or ill and unable to support your development, or perhaps the death or absence of a father strongly influenced your life. Either way the result is that you've difficulty finding a firm footing on which to base your life as an adult. Your challenge is to learn to trust your own intuition, and to use your artistic and sensitive nature for the benefit of other people without losing yourself.
Jupiter
The planet Jupiter also tells you about your goals in life, in particular the areas in which you are likely to succeed. Jupiter is the planet of expansion, abundance and wisdom. Ancient astrologers believed that the planet Jupiter had a greatly beneficial effect on a person's life.

Your friends do their best to support you emotionally, and perhaps even financially, so that you can achieve your life goals. This is fortunate because you've high hopes of achieving success in your life. You're popular amongst your friends, a real social success, and the resulting benefits are considerable.

This enjoyment is contagious and other people enjoy your company. They are also drawn to your affable nature. You're a good-natured person with a kind word for everyone, and a tendency to be concerned for humanity as whole. You love travelling to other countries, or any place which broadens your education and brings you into contact with other people. Problems can arise when you don't have an outlet for your insatiable curiosity and you can become restless and disoriented, but this is unusual. Generally you've a variety of options to consider and are spoiled for choice. You're a versatile student and an entertaining teacher, and are particularly attracted to novel ideas. You may also be a talented writer with a gift for prophecy. Astrologically speaking the planet Jupiter is considered to be in an ill-favoured position in the sign of Gemini. Therefore you should be wary of scattering your energies and failing to achieve your goals.
Jupiter is Trine Neptune
What an idealist you are! It's doubtful that life would ever live up to your high expectations or that you could achieve all that you dream of. This is because the planets Jupiter and Neptune are connected in your chart. Don't despair. You may be idealistic, but you're also talented and possibly inspirational in some aspect of your life. As a result you're likely to achieve many of your hopes, but not all of them, and perhaps prove to be an inspiration to other people. Possibly you've a talent for music or the arts, or perhaps you're a gifted teacher or philosopher. You're certainly compassionate. Whatever your creative talent, your active imagination needs a positive outlet, one that can inspire you and perhaps other people. You're capable of reaching for the stars, as long you acquire the self-discipline needed to develop your abilities. Your spiritual beliefs may also play a prominent role in helping you achieve your ambitions.

What you lack in attention to detail you gain in enthusiasm and energy. You're a natural-born leader or teacher, inspiring others with your grand schemes. You may teach a classroom of adults or children, or on a one-to-one basis or you may simply inspire others by example. You need only to be careful to keep your ego under control, and to make sure that you're not too grandiose. You're likely to succeed in achieving many of your hopes and wishes.
Jupiter is Sesquisquare Saturn
You can succeed in achieving your life goals, but only after you've learnt to balance the conventional and unorthodox sides of your nature. This is because the planets Jupiter and Saturn are making a difficult aspect in your birth chart. There is a dissident side to your nature, which you've difficulty keeping under control. Unrestrained enthusiasm can lead you into trouble. At other times there's an orthodox side which is overly cautious, causing you to hesitate unnecessarily when action is required. Finding the right balance is hard work. Generally speaking you're a poor judge of when to take action and when to wait patiently. As a result you're likely to suffer financial loss if speculating in the business or financial world. You would also do well, if possible, to steer clear of lawsuits. On a positive note when you can blend the two opposing forces you're capable of great things. You can enjoy success in self-employment or be a valued member of a team, particularly in the business world. Once a balance is achieved you're sure of achieving your objectives in life.

The Moon
Astrologers from different schools of thought allocate varying meanings to the Moon in a birth chart. Ancient astrologers say that the Moon changes its nature according to its phases, and merely passes on impressions from other planets rather than directly influencing a person's life. However, modern astrologers tell us that the Moon depicts a person's roots, our home and family. They say the Moon also shows our habitual nature or subconscious patterns of behaviour which stand in the way of achieving our life goals. While the Moon can show us our strengths, it can also depict our weaknesses which need to be overcome in order to be successful in life.

With this placement of the Moon you may enjoy acting, writing, singing, comedy, or public speaking. It is important that you express yourself, whether in your private or public life. This is your life and you need to your voice. Short journeys and changes of environment also appeal giving you more food for thought and satisfying your curiosity. In some cases your thirst for new and stimulating activities may result in unfinished accomplishments, because you simply can't keep up with everything in your life. Peace of mind may not come easily to you, because you always seem to have so much on your mind.
