Richard Carpenter drive and ambition
Richard Carpenter is extremely strong-willed and he pursues his goals and desires with passionate dedication and determination. He is capable of total concentration and tremendous discipline, and he is very difficult to influence or sway once his mind is made up. When Richard Carpenter wants something, Carpenter can be very one-sided and almost obsessed with it. He is very instinctive and does not always consciously know why he feels as strongly and deeply as he does.
He also tends to be secretive and unwilling to reveal his aims and intentions, and the intensity of his will and desire may not initially be apparent to others. However, Carpenter is very forceful in a quiet and subtle way. Richard Carpenter often manipulates or forces his will upon other people, without being overtly aggressive. He is not interested in confrontation but he is a formidable foe if he encounters opposition or aggression. Richard is courageous and has a rather primitive, raw side as well.
It is not easy for Richard Carpenter to show the world at large his angry or competitive side, but his family sees this side of him more often. Temper tantrums, tumultuous family relationships, or a great deal of competition between Carpenter and one or more of his relations, are likely. Richard Carpenter likes to be the one in charge in his home and he puts a lot of energy into making things go his way.
Richard Carpenter has a powerful will and when he wants something, he pursues it passionately and relentlessly until he achieves it. He may be so driven by his desire that he loses all objectivity. Richard Carpenter often becomes compulsive, even obsessed, with doing or achieving something, no matter what the costs or how hard he must work for it.

Richard Carpenter has enormous energy reserves, and is capable of extraordinary effort and great achievement if he uses his energies for constructive purposes.

His ambition and/or role in life involve communication, conveying messages, writing or speaking, languages, or being an intermediary. Sometimes Richard Carpenter may feel that he has to work harder than others to get the word out or receive public recognition. "Work smarter, not harder" should be his motto.
Conflicts in his early childhood are apt to be played out in Richard's later professional life. Unresolved rivalry with a parent or sibling may result in antagonism toward superiors or competitors.
