Chiara Mastroianni
motivation

Though Chiara Mastroianni seems rather cautious and conservative (as discussed in the previous chapter), she has a much more playful, humorous side as well. Moreover, the combination of her attention to detail and cautious, circumspect approach to life, coupled with her youthful curiosity and quick mind makes Chiara mentally sharp, articulate and clever.

Chiara Mastroianni is, in many ways, an eternal child. Her mind is bright, alert, curious, flexible, playful and always eager for new experiences - and her attention span is often quite brief. Mastroianni grasps ideas quickly and once her initial curiosity has been satisfied, she is ready to move on. Chiara Mastroianni craves frequent change and variety, as well as new situations and people.

It may be hard for Chiara Mastroianni to decide just where her talents and true vocation lie, for she has a multitude of interests and is loathe limiting herself by concentrating on just one. She is easily distracted by all of the other fascinating possibilities. Her curiosity and restlessness propel Chiara toward many different experiences in life, and she is willing to taste or try anything once. Doing the same thing over and over again, even if it is something she does well, is tantamount to drudgery for Mastroianni.

Chiara Mastroianni lives in her head a great deal - reading, observing, thinking, spinning ideas around - and she needs mental stimulation every bit as much as she needs food and drink. In fact, if Chiara had to choose between a good book or movie and a good lunch, she would very likely choose the former. Chiara Mastroianni has a creative mind and she often lives by her wits.

She is also a very social creature, with a strong need to communicate and interact with people. She enjoys using and playing with words and has a real flair for getting her ideas across in a clever, interesting, articulate manner. Writing and/or speaking are areas she has talent for.

Chiara Mastroianni also has a rather lighthearted and mischievous sense of humor, and often does not take anything too seriously. Though she craves emotional involvement, it is hard for Chiara Mastroianni to achieve it, for she is frequently unwilling to commit herself to anything, to take responsibility or to limit her personal freedom and mobility.

Her happiness lies in using her creativity and language skills to communicate something meaningful, teach, inspire, or bring people together. Chiara has an unbiased mind and can usually offer a fresh, clear, uncluttered perspective. Her faults are her lack of constancy and persistence, and her tendency to overlook or ignore deep emotional issues and other people's feelings.

Her career, reputation and public image are very important to Mastroianni. Chiara Mastroianni has a strong desire to be influential or make her mark on the world. She is not satisfied with the personal sphere alone; her ambitions include making a major contribution and receiving broad recognition for her unique effort and gifts. Chiara Mastroianni may undervalue the personal or inner facet of life.

Her conscious intentions and goals are frequently opposed by her unconscious beliefs and desires. If Chiara Mastroianni overrides her instincts and emotions because they seem to lead her in a direction diametrically opposed to the one she consciously desires, her emotions can become unruly. Poor relationships with women and/or difficulties in close one-on-one relationships are also a reflection of this tendency. However, if Chiara Mastroianni attends to her emotional urges and feelings and listens to the voice of her intuition, dreams and gut feelings, she will derive greater satisfaction from a more balanced life.

Mastroianni occasionally gambles, splurges or overextends herself in ways that may be at odds with her usual way of doing things. Exaggerating her accomplishments or spending too much in order to impress others and build up her own self-esteem can be a problem. However, Chiara Mastroianni also has faith and an optimistic side, which enable her to recover from the negative consequences of her excesses, and to learn from them.

However she also has a more somber side, which keeps Mastroianni's optimism from becoming ungrounded or overblown. Chiara Mastroianni tends to seesaw between her faith, vision and high aspirations, and her caution and realism (or fear!). She cannot and does not rely on good luck or grace alone, and she accepts the need for hard work. Her skeptical or "somber" side is described below.

Chiara Mastroianni has a mature and often somber demeanor. She is serious, reserved, self-disciplined, highly responsible and conscientious. She progresses rather slowly in life, through her own efforts and persistence. She is also rather stern and judgmental, especially with herself. Cautious and careful, it is difficult for her to really let go, be spontaneous and playful. Chiara likes to be in control of herself.

While she is realistic and conscientious (or overly conscientious), as described above, Chiara Mastroianni also has an otherworldly, dreamy, or mystically-inclined side, as described below.

Chiara Mastroianni is extremely sensitive, compassionate and giving, often to her own detriment. Her ideals and spiritual values motivate Chiara Mastroianni, and she cannot live for personal gain or materialistic concerns alone. There must be an element of beauty, magic, imagination, inspiration or creativity in what she does. Otherwise Chiara Mastroianni becomes listless and aimless. The arts, theater, music and/or charitable work are ideally suited to Chiara.

Emotionally, it could be difficult for Chiara Mastroianni to discern illusion from reality. She is impressionable and sympathetic toward others. However, Mastroianni tends to idealize others and could adopt a fantasy view of a wonderful marriage, causing disappointment later on.

Chiara Mastroianni tends to become excited and upset at the slightest cause, generating tension with others. Chiara also could encounter strange experiences or coincidences with others. She may have a feeling of being different than others and she wants to be her own person.
