Richard Gere
drive and ambition

Richard Gere avoids direct confrontation as much as possible and is uncomfortable with aggressiveness, competition and personal power. His ego drive is not very dominant and Gere is not especially ambitious or eager to push his way to the top. He may feel inadequate in situations that call for strong, forceful action. The only instance in which Richard Gere will really fight is when he senses that his loved ones - or something dear to him- are being jeopardized, in which case he is a fierce defender. Richard Gere has a very strong protective side. He acts on impulse and instinct and may lash out at anyone he perceives as threatening to Richard's home or family. However, Richard Gere will rarely initiate a confrontation. His goals also tend to be very personal and centered on family closeness and inner satisfaction rather than worldly achievement.

He is sensitive to stress and does not handle a high-pressured, competitive atmosphere very well. Richard Gere is very touchy, irritable and difficult to live with when there are many demands or stressful situations at work. His energy level varies and is very dependent on the emotional harmony (or lack thereof) in his home. A supportive partner is very instrumental in helping Gere to achieve his goals and desires.

He has passionate convictions and will fight for them when challenged. Richard Gere is willing to dedicate a great deal of his energy and force to an important cause, and he will act decisively on his beliefs, rather than simply espousing them.

Sometimes Gere gets so involved and identified with his ideas that he cannot really be receptive to anyone who opposes him philosophically.

Richard Gere has an adventurous, entrepreneurial spirit and the instincts to achieve major success. Competition and rivalry spur Richard Gere on to do his best and push past his limits. He enjoys taking initiative and has positive expectations that generate positive results. At times, however, Richard Gere is overconfident, cocky and vainglorious. Sports and business are both suitable arenas for Gere.

His nature tends to be rather impatient and combative. Often subjected to circumstances beyond his control, Richard Gere frequently feels frustrated and should avoid violent encounters and dangerous activities that could lead to accidents, if he is not careful.

Richard has an extraordinary drive for power and influence in the world, which can be used for good or ill, for his own personal aggrandizement or for achieving some wider aim.

Richard Gere could be a channel for healing, transforming, revivifying energies in society or in individuals. His work will involve stimulating deep, fundamental changes and bringing to light hidden, taboo, repressed, or secret information and knowledge.

His career is apt to involve protecting, caring, and nurturing in some aspect. Home, family relationships, cherishing the past, continuing a tradition are also featured. Richard Gere is apt to be quite popular through his profession or business.

Richard wants very much to be in a position to be able to positively influence and help many people. However, he may believe that he has to sacrifice his idealism or convictions in order to attain his ambitions. At times his desire for prominence, popularity, or stature may make Richard Gere do things that put him in a dubious situation with his superiors.
